Hey Trev
I think I saw that ute at a display at Bridgetown a few years ago
Is the car originaly from Carnamah as the plates suggest ? Can you get any history on it if it is
thanks mate

yep  thats the one    gary.   the bloke was living up that way when he restored the ute, hence the carnamah rego.   he & the ute ute are originally from here.  i will dig up more info for you.
                      cheers trev

gary   got a bit of info on the ute. ..it was originally owned by a local cocky...then sold to a neighbouring farmer who used it a little ,then parked it in a shed where it sat for years covered with boxes & other junk. :'(the current owner is third in the line...he was also from the neighbouring district & worked on the guy for ages before getting it. ;Dthere was another fc ute in another shed & the owner said "if you can get that one going for me ,you can have the other".....so..he spent a lot of time freeing up the brakes...replacing the timing gear etc & then took pessesion of his prize. he moved it around with him for a lot of years as he changed address, untill he got to carnamah where he restored it..hence the CA rego. ;Dits done about 90,000 miles and  is in totally original condition.    
i know your about to ask what became of the other ute...after it was repaired ,it sat in the shed for decades  :-/,along with some other very valuable vintage vehicles..none of which were ever for sale ...they were all destroyed in a bush fire last summer
