My new hot rod

Post by gt »

I bought this in St Louis in May. I'm going to the engineer on the 22nd and should hopefully have rego by the end of the month.
It runs a 350 Vortec, TH350 and 8" Mustang diff.

Looks very nice there GT, how do you go getting a rod licenced LHD ? I thought that was a drama ?
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Are you sure.... :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm guessing this was the final consensus from Ozrodders. Call it whatever the hell you want its still a nice rod. I'd say good luck with the rego but you guys in Canberra don't really need it, lucky bastards.....
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

The commercials all had the same grille from 32 to 34 ( and a few years after...I think). The grille shell is fatter than a sedan/coupe/tudor and leans back at the top.
&*#@ only made 346 of them and it was the last year they made roadster pick ups in the US.
