The wait that seems to take an eternity has commenced once more as my (3rd) Mustang heads towards LA to catch a fast boat to Melbourne.

9R02M144625

4 speed

Many thanks for Sheri and Matt @ Shermatt for putting up with me during the search !

Jiffy !! I finally got myself a 69 !!! :drool:

Woo Hooo!! Very nice!

Has it still got the 351 in there or something else under that shaker?

Cool! Looks very nice in that colour, I really like it!

Does it have far to go to get to LA?

I think that truck drive made me more anxious then the wait for the boat to arrive. I had no idea what could possibly happen to it and I got stuck with an open trailer!

Woo hoo!!!

What company did you use? I'm shopping around for one at the moment. I used Magic Carpet Transport last time and the lady I dealt with was great. Just can't get in contact with her this time though, so am shopping around.

Hi Ash.

Freight was organised by Shermatt, so not sure exactly.

Ah ok. Thanks anyway.

Now you'll be counting down the days until the truck arrives. Then how many until it gets on the boat, then how many to float across. You losing much sleep yet? :smile01:

Very nice, love the shakers. Welcome to the 69r club. Is the shaker original (noted the 'Cobra jet' on the side and didn't think the 351 came with that badge.:thumb:

Thanks ! Shaker is aftermarket. Will be replacing 'cobra jet' with 351 when it gets here I think.
