All the best with the search. If you know the chassis number you might be able to do a search for it through the state department in Vic responsible for car regos.

You could also look up the forum data base that steve is doing.
It wont say who owns the car but at least its something.

Tracing via numberplate is a long shot unless they have kept the plates...chassis number is the key.

Try http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... =23&t=4651 for the spreadsheet maintained by Steve. Can't remember exactly what page the latest one is on...probably fairly high 29-31...

It has to be it, looking at the pic's.
Twin SU's on a "monaro" manifold,
Chrome glove box,
Finned "Thommas" rocker cover,
NASCO clck,
baby moons,
had a 179 HP motor,
But it didn't have the louvered bonnet.

Still have the plates, can't use them, though. Done a heap of work, but almost there. Like Trevor said, 6 years continuous work. She's a different colour now, but still a looker. Pm me if you want to see more.
