Neat little Falcon---ok, they're not a Falcon in NZ---but I figure it's a good day if I remember my own name!!!!!!

Dave,it still is a Falcon over here,this particular car has a really warm 351W,tubs,etc,and some of my handiwork on the glass hood,,it was imported about 20 years ago by a south islander by the name of Craig Stare,the guy who has been running Muscle Car Madness for the last 20 years,,this is the twentieth year..He sold an Austin A40 Dorset[2 door sedan],in California I think,,set up as race car,with SBC etc..was called Street Fighting Man.
IC2,the Sprint gasser is a scary looking item,but it pulled the crowds,specially with the caps open,,
Next bunch taken in the sheds,the peoples choice was this scary little Austin A40 Dorset street/strip car,just rebuilt by the owner,a fantastic,if not a little eccentric[and possibly a bit concentric] car painter,we call him the paint slut,[he will paint anything for money].Try googling Imagineering..

The next bunch are for all you Studebaker fans..
Trevor Halsteads sedan delivery was built out of about six various models.BBC power,and totally custom built from the windscreen back..

This coupe was built nearly 30 years ago,and was dug out for old times sake..

Man, I don't even like green, but that Stude is absolutely drop dead way kewl beyond description!!! Some very, very 1st rate fabricating! Super looking car, thanks for putting up the pics! That also has to be the neatest and smoothest rendition of a school bus I've seen!

Dave,the s kool bus has either a 502 or 572 BBC between its rails,a new build,and has only done a couple of hundred miles,on the way up to Auckland,the NEW trans dumped its guts,and it turned up on a transporter,the owner is probably not the happiest guy in town,not that I blame him..

Heres an interesting bunch...mr mustang, do I have your attention..

And one of his everyday drivers,below..

That school bus is killer! So is the convertible Jag; I'd love to drop a big inch LS1 in that baby.

Falcon,the Jag is becoming a hard one to find down here now,most of them got the SBC/auto conversion a long time ago,except for the pristine examples,which are still jealously guarded by their owners,to stop hotrodders getting them..most of them in junk yards are now minus IFS[for F100 conversions]and IRS[for hotrod rears]

The s kool bus is an ex Education board Bedford,I am told,with the Ford panels grafted on..

heres a few more..first up, a couple for Stovens..

The owner of this pickup is the daughter of one of our older Auckland rodders,poor child,never had a chance..thats what happens when ya cruise with ya folks in a A tourer as a young un..
