Re: OK, If you must, Auction link

Its actually a bit of a 'B' grade movie but a classic non the less. The car was a Ford Falcon Intercepter (what the real cops used back then as highway pursuit), 351 cleveland, blown and of course "sshhhe shucks nitro" (gotta say it with a stutter AND a lisp). It was filmed in melbourne, I watch it every so often and constantly reconise background locations (and it was made in the seventies!) Was released in the U.S. as road warrior - no?<br /><br />Mark, got hit hard, lost 3 trees - but we need it!<br /><br />Aldo

Man, that is "WAY COOL" Why is it that you guys get all the cool stuff, Seems to me those would sell like hotcakes over here.

The Pont GTO is the Aussie one,Forget the Windsor unless your hauling around the farm Go Cleveland had one in the 70's that pulled low 12's in the quarter,and almost stock.Pulled a 11.87 once but popped a servo in the C6 trannie doing it. And Mark hang on for the Gusto looks like your well on the way 7000 for a solid car that age is cheap

Just had the first "DUMB QUESTION"!<br /><br />Does the car have power steering, brakes and air conditioning? :eek: <br /><br />What part of looking at the pictures dont you understand?<br /><br />Probably a kid that doesnt know what those things look like.

My guess is since the reserve is met people will just watch it until close to the end and then have a bidding war.

Hey Lubedude.<br />You have prepped a very nice example there. Seems a pity to sell after so much work has gone into the car but......<br />I like the honest description and the footnotes. Straight up and tell it like it should be.<br />Pity I dont live in the US coz that car is veeeerrrryyy tempting.<br />Good luck.<br />Regards<br />Peter

Yes, I know what you mean, but the whole Idea from the start was to sell it. You dont know how hard it is not to drive it. I intentionally didnt licence or insure it for that very reason.

It ticked up another notch, yesterday, LubeDude. Maybe someone won a SuperBowl bet. :cool: <br /><br />It's getting close to the home stretch. I bet it will get heated in the last couple of hours. You may be givin away that new set of tires, yet.

I expect it to be that way also, Usually after the reserve is met it will stall untill the last few hours. You just never know till its over.

'Dude, did you do all that work crawling around on a creeper, or do ya have a lift yet? Bumpers and A-arms off the car. That isn't any fun with a car sitting on jackstand and you slidin around on the floor.
