Craig · Post by **Craig** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 10:48 pm

This is my first post so I hope it works. I "won" George on e-bay (the only bidder) caught 2 planes to get to Brisbane one Friday, Drove 4 hours each way on Saturday to pick him up stayed in Brisbane on Sat night. my 18 year old son and I then drove about 8hrs to Tamworth on Sunday and the remaining 5hrs home on the monday the car didn't miss a beat the whole way and used about 12l/100ks not too bad for tripple carbs initial plans are to get it registered (drove home with permit) and fit seatbelts as we have a few kids oh and lose the radio http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x49/ ...

Craig, it's the bottom line that you cut & paste under the pic in photo bucket.

allow me Craig and welcome...keep us posted on progress

you have to break each address up with the imagw tag button
for example (except use [] in stead of round ones)

Looks like a good buy Craig, did you buy it for yourself or your 18 year old son?

Nice ride!!!

What are you going to do with the wheels? Leave as is or dress her up?

that's the one that turned up for $5500ish in QLD just after FB search paid $7500ish for one on the other side of the country, not that he's unhappy with his purchase
gets me to thinking how ebay is spreading cars allover the place, i sold a '64 chev from western sydney to SA this thread, a guy from nyngan buys a car fron QLD, FB search lives in QLD buys a car from WA
don't really think to much of this would have happened pre internet

Welcome to the Forum Craig. Love the FB. Triple speco manifold too!
If you plan to ditch the grey I'm chasing a set of triples...how rude of me trying to take advantage of a new member!

regards
Stewart

Thanks everyone and thanks Nomad for sorting out the pics

the car is for me wanted one since the late eighties (wow that was long ago)the Grey will stay, wheels will get dress trims and white walls but I am also considering at a set of dragways or similar The main goal is a sixties style streeter but something I can jump into on weekends and just drive whether its 300ks or 3 ks (dont get to drive during the week)E-bay is crazy we spend thousands for gear we havent seen but it does spread the love
