Arrow Help Finding Ford wall Clock.

Hi all.

I need your help if possible. :Reverend:

After being dicked around no end by FPV and ford merchandise regarding a clock that still to this day appears on the ford merchandise web site that I promised to buy a young masn for Christmas because I was was promised was available only 1 week ago now i'm told at the death nell ah sorry we don't make that clock any more bad luck.

I am hoping that some one can help me find this clock some where I really want to buy it for a young man for his Christmas.

I'm more than willing to pay frieght from any where in Australia or pick this up if it's in Melbourne.

I can be contacted directly on 0419-325-007 or by email wayne@waykat.com.au.

See below the clock that I am looking for.

Any help in tracking down this clock ASAP would be greatly appreciated. :

If no luck on ebay, try smokemart/giftbox if you have them in your state. They are full of ford/fpv/holden/hsv merchandise.

Yep. I know there are Smokemarts in Victoria. Not sure about Giftbox. Whenever I go shopping at Branton Park shopping centre, I always walk past the Smokemart and notice the merchandise. I bought a little torch keyring there (that shines a Ford logo on everything, including a few Holden-loving mates). I don't smoke so the only reason I'd enter a Smokemart is for the merchandise.

I saw that clock on ebay a few days ago, not sure if the auction has ended though

There are also FPV ones there too, shaped like a disc brake and caliper

I have a similar one, we bought it at a chemist nearby, about 12 months ago.
They also have model cars and other merchandise.

I have the XR8 one which has the black background and XR8 written on it, love it!

Now any novelty shop in the big Westfields (supposing you have Westfield shopping Malls down ur way) should have this or one like it! Just go for a drive when you got sometime and you should be able to get one no trouble.

I had one...... until the 3M adhesive hook fell off after about 6 months and came home to a smashed clock. I think the hook wasn't rated high enough

I have a wall clock similar to that (Of course its a Holden one hehehe).

I remember being in Surfers a few months back and in that variety shop "Whats New" they had a Ford clock with blue neons it looked pretty cool.

hehe my clock wins:



its a ford 100th anniversary clock from the US. a mate of mine had a couple sent over. on every hour, it plays a recording of the car pictured on that hour. usually the engine turning over, firing, then a rev. the gt sounds awesome, it fires up, takes off in first then chirps into second. theres also a light sensor in the clock, when the room is dark, it doesnt play the recordings, but the brighter the light in the room, the louder it gets

Wink Ford Wall Clock

Well I'm blown away I was sort of hoping for a couple of replies but 18 far out I'm wrapped thanks heaps every one and yes MontyV8 yours wins :

I finally managed to track one down at Autobarn Hoppers Crossing thanks to Ash there for looking after me.

Stuff going to FPV or a ford dealer in the future I'll just post my request here.

18 replies in less than 1 week saved heaps of phone calls and chasing around and has allowed me to keep my promise to a kid for his Christmas Present.


Well in closing from my family to all of yours we wish you have a very Merry Christmas and a great start to the new year and hope that the Big Guy in the Big Red outfit brings you every thing you were hoping for. :

We have exactly the same clock. I bought it from a smoke shop in Brisbane for $20.00 for a present for my lovely husband.
