A friend of mine (not a member here) bought one of the repops, and he way very unhappy with it. He said it did not fit good at all. He never could get it to not rub the air cleaner. It did not get close enough to the hood. He wound up selling it for an original. I took his advice and bought an original air box at the Nationals for $400. It is in very good condition, and it is only missing the cables and hold downs for the cables. Good originals are still out there.

Nice Pics!!!

Love the Petty Blue on the RR. What is the deal on the LHD versus RHD steering? No longer required to convert them? I've seen plenty of pics of cars from there that were converted...

I was checking out the interior in your car...and the kick panels and the A-pillar trim look a little odd... You'd better take them out and send them to me so that I can "inspect" them...

Iam curious about the conversion to RHD too,Iam also into vintage Hudson's was told by an Aussie member that any car imported had to be coverted before it could be driven on roads there.

Iam always kinda curious about cars from down under imported into the states,I have seen some vintage Hudson's that were brought to the states,you have some cool cars down there,not just the Chryslers,like the Chargers,but some of the Ford Falcons and even some of the Holdens were pretty neat,seems like quite a few American musclecars ended up down under,just wonder if any Australian cars ended up here.

Well about 10 years ago we had to have special licenced cars with a huge LEFT HAND DRIVE sticker across the rear window it looked pathetic but now no worries just go for roadworthy inspection and bob's ya uncle mind you it scares the shit out of you the first time driving on single lane roads with no passenger (co pilot) and where i am we have road trains and ya dont wanna go head to head with one of those big mothers still fun though :cheers:

I remember when the movie came out I was in school trying to explain to my non motorhead buddies that you don't turn 6-71 blowers on and off they are always turning,basically one of them told me I was full of shit(hey I saw it in the movie) finally he believed the school shop teacher.

Here's another Falcon that I saw at a cruise-in.

You guys live were all the cool cars are :worship: Thanks, they may be a Ford but I love the looks of the Aussie Falcons

I was at blockbuster last night on the older movies it was rent one get one free,so I rented Mad Max,now I had a copy take off HBO on VHS back in the day but the tape got bad,funny thing is the movie was dubbed,the one I rented last night is actually Mel Gibson,and everyone else speaking with an aussie accent,I know hollywood used to pull this crap dubbing even movie in English to get rid of the accents,good vto see the movie as it was meant to be seen.
