Ditto, very nice car and colors. I was going after a similar grey for my Ranchero to start with, I home painted the left door to see how I liked it. Now I'm thinking a midnight blue, I changed my mind about trim and those colors. Things change, we learn and move on. What engine was in that, and what are the plans? Being in Australia, you have good choices for Cleveland parts I think.

Thanks Guys, It came with a 351 Clevland which i will be storking to 408 i am also thinking of a Holey Sniper but parts are hard to get at the moment in Aus just with all the shipping in high demand and little of it going about i will have to import most from the States. Its funny when most car guys here in Aus see it they think XA XB Falcon firstley then they se the front ank go "OK what is it!!". Its great having a rare item klike this here in Aus, i consider myself a lucky man to have found it . I hope all are well Ivan

Very nice and the plan for the 408 stroker should really make it move. Is that your Holden in the garage in the background? It looks sharp too.

That Holden looks great! Is it a six or a V8? Didn't the V8 versions of these cars use Holden V8's, like the 253 or 308?
