Hi Steve, you can obtain a permit for a vehicle that is 25 years or older, so the FE FC qualifies. You need to be a member of a recognised Club of which the FE FC Club VIC is. (I think they have a rule about attending two events, so they know who you are)

A club permit can be issued to Classic & Historic vehicles manufactured after 31 December 1930, but more than 25 years before the date of the application for a club permit.
These categories can include trailers and modified vehicles such as street rods. Vehicles which are replicas of vehicles in the above categories may also be issued with a club permit.
A club permit allows vehicles to be used:
in connection with official activities organised by an association approved by VicRoads, such as car rallies, or in the preparation of the vehicle for such activities; or
if authorisation for special private use has been granted.
Club Permits are issued for 12 month periods and vehicles are issued with a specific club permit number plate.
Applying for a club permit
To apply for a Club permit you will need to complete a Club Permit application form together with:
written verification by the club secretary (or person authorised by VicRoads) that the applicant for the club permit is a member of the car club
in the case of a club historic vehicle that is not a street rod, a current certificate of roadworthiness or a letter from a scrutineer authorised by the club, stating that the vehicle is safe for use on the road
in the case of a application made in respect of a street rod, a Street Rod Inspection certificate issued by the Australian Street Rod Federation (ASRF), Technical Advisory Committee or a report from a VicRoads Vehicle Assessment Signatory establishing that the vehicle is in fact, a modified vehicle, ie modified in excess of the level prescribed in the Vehicle Standards Information No.8. (VSI8). Club scrutineers can assist in this requirement. ASRF can be contacted by calling (03) 9793 6258.
