Wondering if anyone knows the wherabouts of 1 bad FC ?
I Know it is in a shed in newcastle
I was told by a person who i cannot for the life of me remeber who he is that the owner lost his leg in an accident and lost all intrest in the car
Giving it to his daughter .
It was stored in his daughters shed and was covered in mattresses and crap front guard was smashed and looked in a bad way.
I have always since i was a little kid wanted to own this car so if someone can help me find the wherabouts.
Was running 327 chev nine inch was blue and silver and had tilley strips not factory type mouldings.??
Any info please msg me.
it was always parked on the side of the road across the road from cardiff rta, apparently that car went real hard, i remember when i was getting my FCCOOL plates and the girl in the RTA said i couldnt have FC on my plates becuase she thought it was obsene, i dont know what she was thinking but i said "its a friggin FC holden like that one across the road with 1BADFC on the plates"
one day i snaped a axle in mayfeild out the front of a house with a FC ute out in the front yard, i was going to knock on the door but it turned out a mate from town lived next door and he came out just as i got out of the car and drove me around the corner to a mates house where i got a axle from a genuine X2 HD in his back yard rusting away, so we went back and i asked this guy (Red) if he ever spoke to his neighbour, he said "he just lost his leg and he has a real shit hot blue & silver V8 FC in the back yard"
Apparently it was a big winner at the rickshaws show years ago had B45 simmons on it loved that car thats why i got into FC,s.
I'm guessing your talking about PeeWee's (Peter) FC.

Thats her what a beutiful car.
Its a credit to the owner.
What a great trim kit, it looks similar to Tony Galea's trim kit.
That is one nice ride
Here's a couple of pics of the car not long after it was on the road, in 1987.
Before plates and Simmons.

Cheers for that jeez it is nice.
Alex,
You never cease to astound me with your photo collection, It seems someone just has to mention that they are looking for a certain car and "Voila", Alex has a photo of it in his collection. Simply amazing.

I love the separation of the colours, probably the best I have seen IMHO, hmm has me thinking.
It's got a chev look Jason?
Well after some awesome detective work i have found the old girl
She is sitting in a shed rims are corroded real bad chrome is ordinary supposedlly the owner was real pissed that i found the car and it was not for sale and wasnt offered a look so i didnt push the point left a card with them and told them to ring me if it was for sale.
Pete
Everything has a sale price
My next visit will involve a wadd of cash.
The flash kit is called a Crestline from memory. I have the 3 lower moulds for each side here.

Allready have them pics ...
either your john gillet or mates with him
I have been talking to kathleen about the car.
Ok. I'm not John Gillet, and have been tracking the car since My mate(Peter Wilson who built it) sold it. Lewins family own it now from My understanding and there is a sentimental reason for them holding on to it so I have never chased it any further.. Would love it and had my chance to own it back in the day(kicking Myself now)!!
Ah ok Shawn westwood (nasco) filled me in on the history of when Pete and tony pocket built it thats his car you can just see the rear bar and the front. he still has that car but is now back to original. Its still registred and he rarely drives it. But it will need a birthday soon as well.
She needs a whole lot of work it sat in a back yard for some time so id say the grass has left its mark.
I spoke to Tony webster he originally sold the engine for the car he said there were a few people chasing the car.
Kathleen wants to restore it But as i explained unless you have a healthy bank account do not pull it apart as it will de value it considerably.
Wait until you have the cash spray some lanolin spray over the chrome to try and preserve the diecast a bit and let it sit.
Pete
Cool, Yes Garry Pocket had a hand in it. Pocko did the best paint n body back in the day a true master(and has only just called it quits).
Havnt seen Webby for years!! He still at carrington??

Webbys going good just doing a few rod builds at the moment.
Hes boring my engine at the moment.
Pocket just sold his 2 door FE as well (i think it sold) triple webbers ect.
Everyone has that photo it must have been distributed to every FC owner in NSW...
Yep
Cool, Me and Webby go way back.. Ive been slack and out of the scene for too long.
Was looking at Pocko's FE but I love the original lines better.
