A Zodiac.



With (amazingly) the original six cylinder in it!



Definitely not an Orcabetty.















393 stroker Clevo, pump and 4x2-barrel Stromberg carbs. All connected because they're all leaking.





AAP owner Alan Smart's (think he's rare32 on here?) newest toy.



Big Al cruises in.



Pretty sure this is Western Australia's oldest hot rod. Registered around 1967 I believe.



Aussie Charger.



With a pretty wild induction set up running on LPG (propane).



One of the first cars in Perth to convert Hilborn mechanical injection to EFI.


Some Aussie ute goodness.

 

Von Kustard doing it in style for Movember, although I think he was just doing to piss off his wife.


Late-60s Aussie GM style.


Sweet jailbar.



70s four-door muscle, Aussie style.


It's a Willys! Another VERY old Perth hot rod recently rebuilt by owner Eric Warren.



Late 60s Mopar Aussie style.






Yeah, it's a street machine, but I like it.





LOVED this.


Three generations of Aussie GM muscle.



This neat Mazda is owned by a photographer friend of mine.



Another VERY well used Perth hot rod, Alan Barton's roadster. This thing has got Puh-Tee-Nah in SPADES!!!



Check it out!







Loved this Beetle too.

 

Every time I see this car, I have to take a photo of it. Such a great paintjob.



No, they didn't come from the factory like this.



Car looked perfectly clean to me.









What a dodgey looking bunch of characters. Would you buy car parts of this lot?

 

Great rods.
I got to be in Perth in 78 around Christmas in the Navy. Man what a great bunch of folks. This gal I met in a pub was stunning and liked MY accent. We got along great and met the next day. She let me drive, "on the wrong side of the road." Man I had a good time there. It was very classy and benign folks so dont read anything into it that wasnt there. I say go, if you can. the lingo will keep you in stitches for years.My fav," laughing at the lawn." Cheers friends.

 

Great pics, looks like a great show.

 

Hey Brootal , Onya for filling in the gaps in the days proceedings .....
I must be blind , I saw the guy moving his Trans-am but failed to realise why ....damn it !

Hi Mark,
Alan from Armadale Auto Parts here. I was born in Haddington and lived in Falkirk before moving to Perth 33 years ago, I didnt even know there was an Armadale in Scotland!

 

thanks to Labrat and Brootal for putting up the pics, I was so busy on the day I didnt see half of those cars!

We had over 370 cars, 2 great bands (the Continentals and the Blazing Entrails) 1000's of folks on foot and one impromptu bikini car wash!
here are a couple more I took that havent been posted






the Super Mario look-a-like did this awesome work on my fridge!!

 

My pleasure Rare32 ..... Now you know how many of your old cars were there ...

 

I LOVE the shot of the 57 chevys-----great photography
