Title: HENRY THE FC WAGON

We got this FC wagon from Grenfell, NSW on the weekend.  The bloke I bought it from swapped it in 1997 for a Statesman.

It has an EJ grey with cam, twin SU's, and headers.

Metallic blue & cream paint, spats, smiths heater, and seat belts.  He added the scratch plates & taxi bar.

Was on NSW historic rego, now unregistered.

Front end has been lowered by cutting coil springs.  I have new springs to put back to original height.

If anyone has any history on the vehicle, I would be interested to hear it (preferably GOOD stories).

Regards, Shayne.

It'll look better with some Qld plates on it.

My wife has already claimed it for her & the blue dog.  I'll have to sneak it out on weekends!

Maybe the motor will be too noisy for a school teacher to drive.  The kids will think she's a hoon.

Hi Shayne.
Looks like a car we had in our club a few years ago. It was owned by a guy named Des, (atleast that's the name I remember) and he swapped it for a nice Orange HQ Statesman.
Regards
Alex

I'm pretty sure that is Des Crane's car.  As long as he hasn't moved since, I still have his phone number if you're interested in hearing what he can tell you about the car.

cheers
