Melbourne Muscle Car Show.

[Pickles2]

Don't know whether this is the right place to mention this.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention that if any of you In Melbourne are into 60/70s American muscle, then you should go to the Exhibition Buildings today to see around 140 of the best Muscle Cars I've ever seen.
An absolutely AWESOME show.
Cheers, Pickles.

[SPROVER]

Some wicked cars there :cool:

That silver corvette would do me :cool:

[SPROVER]

The pictures just dont do them any justice at all.The paint work and detail in these things was unbelievable.

[DT-P38]

My top 2.


Love shiny stuff too, but ORIGINAL kicks my heart into gear!

[42rangie]

Brings back my younger days!

You seem to have some different names, slightly different models than we had, and we preferred 2door versions more often. That being said, it is always interesting seeing the differences.

Thank you for the pics!:D:D:D

[lebanon]

That convertible Stingray is a beauty, the Chelby as well.

[Chops]

Fireburnt Orange,, I had #46 (I think it was), mine had black interior with a sunroof. She was beautiful to drive, cruised very nicely indeed ;)

I bet you is real sad you dont own it still;);););););)
Almost as sad as me with the new KING of AWEstralia laying into the vehicle fringe benefits/salary sacraficing cream pie:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Was thinking of looking into salary sacraficing one of the last GTs when the new FH comes out:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[Chops]

Very sad indeed,, let it go too cheap too apparently too, according to the president of the GT club at the time. Reckons he'd have paid double what I had on it, sight unseen :mad:. Them's the breaks, young dumb and umm ahh, stupid,, :eek:
Did a Dukes type jump across a railway line out at Walla one night. The front hit so hard the sump plug got ripped out :(
The new GT's are nice, but I don't like the plastic interiors they all have now,, kind of all seems too clinical or something. Dad had the LTD of the same year, man was that a nice car, all soft leather, just beautiful.
Nothing quite like the old steel of yesteryear.

[Pickles2]

It certainly was a great show.....and for sure there were the reminders of the cars we "used to own"....like the A9X that I sold in the early 80s for $13K with only 22K on the clock!
Cheers, Pickles.

[CraigE]

Nice pics but why oh why do some of these dipsticks insist on putting an SS badge on the front of an SLR - they are not an SS, it is retarded.

I'm about to take on a job converting a carport into a spraybooth for a bloke so he can get the top coat on an XA GT (in that colour) that he's been restoring since the mid 80's. He tells me he paid 3 grand for it back then.

Then there's the guy who got the Gunmetal LJ GTR, white trim with herringbone inserts, tan carpet, 140k on the clock, receipts for every cent spent since new, oil changed every 2500kms etc., for the right price from a deceased estate in '93 and still has it :whistling:.

[Tombie]

When I look back at what I've had, and moved on...

They're only valuable because the latest craze of the currently older generation is to pay ludicrous amounts of money for these older vehicles...

Nice, for sure. Driven by an emotional
response to our younger years...
Glory days!!!

See if he's got any history on it,, I'd be interested to know where he got it from. The guy that bought it off me I believe was from Myrtleford.

My first Ford,, an XT Flacon, 6cyl, 3 on the tree. Swapped motor out for a worked 302 from a ZB, and the full interior and diff from a ZD, brand new front end. Went hard :twisted:
