I'm starting to think you have a time machine and you go back to the 60s and buy these cars.
If you do, do you hire the machine out.
Nice Cars.

Thanks DR, only a Flashline with Tartan Turquoise would make my heart beat faster.
Just need to find a Mint Flashline Kit Rusty

WOW what a fantastic car, 
that interior is amazing
Great find and couldnt have found a better home
cheers Leroy
that interior is amazing Why do you think Steve's shed is so big, the time machine needs to be big enough to cart him and the cars around. Would you like to bring me back a brand new HQ coupe next time you head back.Steve,

awesome find Steve.
And right from under our noses, We didn't know there was such an original unmolested EK so close to home

Fantastic score Steve!
These are a nice colour scheme... so simple but effective.
I bought one like this back in '04 that had suffered from a life by the seaside - it pretty much became Frank P's EK as the trim was still near perfect. Can't save them all, but it's good to know there are still some well preserved ones around.
Well done again!

Thanks Leroy, Yes it is, not as clean as the trim I have in some of the other EK's, though possibly the prettiest. Steve
HQ's? when do you think they will come back in to fashion?

Hi Thommo. Hopefully you will get to check out the sheds, if you come over to Sydney in your Hot Rod FB.
Not that it is an EK I didn't know about, though one thing great about the credit squeeze, is that quite a few amazing cars have been let go that are usually held tightly.

I use to see a lot around in this colour scheme FB1960. There were a few in our Club in the early days. Tony Westlake, George Portelli, also I think Glenn Clarke may have had one.FB1960 wrote:Greta find

Gargamel had one as well
Also Auto Ray Wagner. All these great original colours have been disappearing over the years
Love your wifes car!

Hi Matthew, I was sitting in Franks car on the way to the Grey Pride Run a few months ago, talking about the trim and where it came from
Beautiful.
Well we can't save all the FB's ad EK's, though it is fun trying.
