Blue EK Special Wagon

[Marty K Bird]

I was searching through some of my photos today when i spotted one that i have been looking for !

Its a EK Special Wagon that used to belong to an old lady who lived just down the road from me here in Murrumburrah. A local mechanic sold it for her on ebay a few years ago ....

Looks like the plate is still current.

Was a nice original old rig that never did a lot of work ...

I have some better photos of it somewhere !

Oh so the house on the corner of the tip road, or accross from the park ?
Not too big of a move!

Sputz, or anyone whats this colour called ... im lazy to look up the charts ... shamilar blue or whatever?

I'm planning on taking the old lady for a spin in mine once its on the road .... she would have been close to 80 when she was still driving the wagon.
She has a festiva now

I have a picture somewhere of a twighlight turquoise wagon with the side flash that goes above the chrome strip (????) Blacky. I had my Twighlight Turquoise Sedan hotty in the FB/EK club in about 1980. We used to meet at a church hall in Randle St. Guildford, I think. Trevor Page was President and a fellow called Rex was Secretary I think. I only say this because I remember one night going for a hot lap around the block with some guys in the red EK that was later bought and used in the movie "Running on Empty" Was this you mate?
I remember it had tubes coming out of the radio speaker with guages in them and a bump on the bonnet from a 6 cyl. Cortina or something. I'm sorry this is way off the subject but I
just remembered this night. Back on the right track, Steve Mclaren, a previos President from the Qld club, had two twighlight EK Wagons.

No that wasnt me - I bought it from the movie company after filming. I went to a couple of FB/EK club meetings in Sydney in the early '80s out blacktown way in I thinkit was Trevors garage ? He had a yellow EK with "the wanderer" painted on the bootlid that I was looking at buying , I decided to buy it so I rang him and he had sold it the day before so I stuck with my Monaro and stopped going to the meetings.
