It's time to sell my baby Cry I've owned her since 1979. Number plate FE 1956 (NSW) A FULL 2 year rebuild in 1983 landed "Red Wine" (her name) on the front cover of Street Machine magazine in the Jun-Jul 1985 issue. Spent over $20,000 (back then) $4000 in chrome, Engineers certificate, she is candy apple cherry red and travelled 8000 miles since rebuild, 190 CI red motor (190HP @ wheels), fully worked head with stainless valves and seats, turbo, twin 1.75 side draft CD carbs, high lift turbo cam, 2.5 inch exhaust fully chromed no muffler, water injection, blue motor disy, oil cooler, xu1 drive train, HR disc front end, EH brake booster, EH diff housing with taxi drum brakes, 7" X 13" American Racers, Dunlop D3 225 tyres, 3 core radiator, battery in boot, 100 amp alternator,  Velva touch heavy duty clutch (USA), full black interior, EH steering column, chrome chain gearstick. There is much much more to mention, if your keen, email me gripie@tpg.com.au and I’ll post you photos and more details. She is in Sydney and I want $15,000.
My baby is one major head turner with power to boot.
Thanks Paul

Thanks Michael
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  Cry
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.  Kiss
By the way it has rego till May 2007
Sorry about the big photo.
Regards Paul
