It will be a bit hard to part with my baby after 27 years, I've owned her for over half of her life, but I feel it sad for aFATstreet machine to just sit around and not be driven and shown. 8000 miles since full rebuild in 21 years, thats only 380 miles per year :'( I couldn't take her to Phillip Island due to my work commitments. I posted her on this web site knowing that the buyer will love her as I have. :-* By the way it has rego till May 2007 Sorry about the big photo.
