Title: 50 yo and still going strong Post by: dnb on July 27, 2009, 06:40:31 PM Tomorrow (28th july 09) marks 50 years since my old girl was regestered. She was sold by Kevin Dillon Motors Ivanhoe, Melb.
A check with Vic Roads shows she was with origonal owners for about 35 years. She is unrestored, still has origonal number plates and has held her age well.....

Happy 50th Birthday. Title: Re: 50 yo and still going strong Post by: brett_f on July 27, 2009, 07:29:51 PM That is a fantastic looking vehicle. You should be very proud owning this car. I know i like modified vehicles but when a gem like this appears, you sometimes wonder what your own car may have been like in its day.

Unrestored good quality cars are the rarest of them all; to remain undisturbed after such a long period of time is really quite amazing. Well done. Title: Re: 50 yo and still going strong Post by: FE350 on July 27, 2009, 09:08:41 PM Though its grey your ride is absoloute Gold!!! Love it brother.

Turning 50 this month is something I am familiar with - your car has coped with the passing of time so very well. As for me? A complete resto would be required.....
