Tried to call you but you must have been out of range.

Did you get a pic of the ID plate for me Tim? Looks like Pink and Plum. I don't have that code.

Actually, I forgot there was one FB on the club run today. It looked absolutely mint in the morning, but as the day progressed it seem to deteriorate very quickly. Apparently they just can't hack the rain and a few miles.....


even in this state the mighty FB looks better than their plain old single tone paint sisters

At the museum there was also this trick FJ ute (now garden feature) with XK Falcon front bumper, twin headlights, Commer grill (the headlight peaks were all steel)
The best part was the dash - I think it's Caddy someone loved it once

That looks like a 57 Chevy pickup dash

Blacky, that sure looks like a 57 truck instrument cluster.
The headlights look like 58 Chevy, but i am not sure about the Commer grill

Would have been a head turner in its day

I want it baaaad.

[Smooth customs]

I want it baaaad.

Rob, that makes two of us!
There is no mention of if the rear of this one is customised as well?
Its a shame to see an old custom like this left to rot.

[thropzed]

Its a &*#@ Consul grill

Rob, It was a great piece of Australiana - you could even tell that it had a "Death Ray" once

Tim, I'd say it would have had a valve death ray, mine was the transistorised unit. Not many people know this
but the valve units had a separate and quite large power unit. Most likely why a ute was used.
