G'day

G'day all, another American iron tragic here. At the tender age of 17 started with a '48 Bonus Built and have owned most of the badges at one time or another. '47 chev pick-up, '67 Pontiac Laurentian, '60 Dodge Pioneer(N.Z Phoenix), 2 x 71 Dodge Phoenix, '79 Inter Scout, '53 F100, and am currently working on/driving a '63 Ford Galaxie 4 Dr Hardtop, factory RH drive. Daily driver is a '77 F100 4x4 which doubles as my tow vehicle. Also residing in the shed is an Inter D1610, also a car carrier..there are still some nice old vehicles outback. I know some of these are outside the '65 cut off date for H.A.M.B..but hey...American iron!!

 

Greetings from the west coast of Florida.

Always room for one more Car Crazy person who loves old cars.

Hope the HAMB is everything you are looking for and more.

Best Regards Jimbo

 

Strewth mate, but it's always interesting to know what else ya got in the shed. There are meany here who speak the okka so don't worry about fitting in. In all my years of living in Oz (WA & QLD) I never saw a right hand ****** '63 Galaxie. You need to post some pics of that pup.

 

G'Day from another Aussie here. Where about are you ?

We got a few, mainly pillared models running the 352, but we also got a few pillarless running the 390(mine is one of 4 in Qld). Right hooks came out of Ford, Ontario. I'll get some pics posted soon.

 

Pretty close to the real thing except for the flame paint job.
