Something different

[mc54]

Went to a local corner store and this was parked beside it. Has anyone seen this before?







Very different looking. Maybe not my thing but it sure stands out. Saw it drive by earlier and it sounds real healthy. I bet he has a lot of fun in it.

Also when I was at the store, an older fellow came up and asked if I wanted a wheel rim and tyre for my car.

So I now have one only Olympic Contoured Air Ride C64 6.50-13 tyre if anyone wants it. Very good condition. Free.
If anyone is in the Gymea area they can contact me and pick it up.

He is a real nice guy and gave me a harmonic balancer puller and installer as well as a number of other parts, and sitting on the shelf in his garage was this.



How cool is that, haven't seen one of those in a long time.

This Truckin Life, looks like it's on roids  >:( ....but having said that, I think I like it
Nice of the old fellow to offer the parts Mike.

If the old chap ever wants to part with the spark plug cleaner, for cash of course, I'd be interested.

He wanted $100 for the spark plug cleaner. Not too sure why, but I bought it. Guess I liked the pretty colours.
Did I pay too much? Apparently it still works fine, although I would not have a clue on how to use it.
Was very nice of him to give me the parts and some tools. He took my phone number, so there may be some more.
Interested in the tyre Gary?

$100 is cheap these days for one in such fine condition ...they usually hook up to a compressor for media blasting of the plug [cleaning] and also have connection for a 12v car battery for testing the spark plug ......Nice score and becoming very rare ........FC427........

Thanks for the information. That explains the gauge on top.

I use to fix those when I did my apprenticeship with TAFE in the early '80's. :P

They do a good job cleaning plugs, and I reckon its a good pick up.

Now sell it to Gary. He needs it for his fleet maintenance program  ;D ;D ;D

Score, a nice piece of garagenalia?, Yep, thanks, will take the tyre Mike, I'll give you a call to tee up a time.

That ute lives somewhere near Warwick Farm or Canley Vale.  I've seen it a few times when driving to work in teh mornings.
