Hi there everybody,
after a lot of looking around I have finally taken the plunge & purchased my 1966 C code coupe. Here is a photo of the car. Hopefully I will be able to catchup with everybody on a cruise in the very near future.

Thank you all,
I purchased the car locally here in Sydney.
The car has been fully restored & converted to RHD a few years ago so there is not a great deal for me to do at this stage.
The first things I will most probably look at it getting the ride height a bit lower & maybe look at some slightly larger wheels.

Thanks Bee / Bob,
The car was the result of a father & son project and many years of work.
The colour of the car is Milano Red with a matching red interior. The car was originally a californian car with no rust and has all the original floor pans etc.
It was completely rebuilt including being put on a rotisserie as part of the restoration. All the wiring is new, engine, transmission, diff etc has been rebuilt.

Thanks Pony,
Sorry but no intentions of selling as it took to long to find and it is so much fun driving it.
All the best with your search and just remember it may get frustrating at times but when you find the car you want it will all be worth the wait.
Cheers Rick

Congratulations on a true winner there!

Sounds like the work done on her was thorough!

Well Done.
