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:


Yeah losing a bit but only because I'm excited - not cos I'm worried. The worst bit will be once it's on the boat I think.

Matt is sending me some paperwork that came with the car so that should help pass some of the time.

The ship docked on Wednesday night in Melbourne.

Fingers crossed all goes well and I have it home soon.

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.

Nope - it's a genuine '70 428CJ unit - and I am GOING to talk you out of it you know that...

Great car...
