Here's a shot of my new baby. Hilda's husband "Harvey" Acquired the other day from the Local Tweed Heads Senior Constable. India Ivory/Granite Grey I'd say 8/10 all round although he needs new paint. Has spats, original grey with oil bath and no filter. I'm hoping Harvey n Hilda may be able to procreate, but I think Hilda is past menopause. The plan is to take both Hilda and Harvey to nationals. Sarah wants to take one and I'll drive the other. Numbers for Ken FC-226-7059A Trim 277-629 Paint 253-7700 256-7770 top Engine is L621615 which seems to be a replacement as this car is a 1958. Body number: 88968-B  ] |

Emu,
Looks like a really good score - is it original paint?
Certainly looks good in the photo - and most importantly very complete.
Cheers,
Craig.

Not sure about the paint Craig.
It seems to me that the India Ivory is more yellow than I have seen.
I think it may have been re-sprayed at some stage.
I am going to try to find a bit of history of the car.
Has hada couple of grand spent on motor, gear box has been re-co'd, new tyres all round, new exhaust. It was a great pick up I reckon.

Looks like a very tidy example. You did good!!
Looking forward to seeing your cars and naturally yourself and your good wife at the Nats. Only a year away now.

Hi Emu
Well the eggs are starting to hatch at your place. I think I should pull my finger out and find myself another car.
I started holidays on friday so am going to resume the big strip down on Grace again this week.
I will find that car I am looking for sometime soon.

Be still, oh beating heart. ......and to think, I was debating whether to change the colour scheme. Never, I tell you. Never!  Sorry Emu, I got carried away. Your new FC is identical to my first FC, that is currently being rebuilt with a 307 Chev. It can be the evil twin to yours at the Nationals. Regards Ed |
