Title: New boy on the block Post by: ROAD KING COL on March 20, 2008, 11:26:02 AM Just a couple of pic of my old girl. I have had this car for 38 years purchasing it of my father who bought it new in Hobart, TAS.
The FC was originally maroon and white but Dad was such a fastidious owner he polished through the maroon to the black undercoat. I put a red motor in her during the 70s and in 1981 stripped and sand blasted her and rebuilt her with HR running gear and 5 speed box and new paint job. At present the old girl is of the road a the red motor expired at Christmas. A V6 is going in over the Easter.

Nice looking FC! I like the V6 idea... it should go like the clappers! Where abouts in Tassie are you?
