Hi all, I live in brisbane and used to own a 67 gt late 70 early 80ies. It was a single headlight model and i had fitted twin weber carbs on a home made manifold (went like stink). I sold it to a guy down Daisy Hill way as we were having a family and there was just no room. My wife wouldn't come at a trailer. I rebuilt the engine during this time and had a lot of gaskets made by Paynen as i could not buy them. I still have some somewhere. Just interested if it is still around or "gone to god". Back then i think there were only five or six in brissy. It was painted Ford "Teal glow". Thanks Ross.

oap 457 was this the rego ??????

How come i just remembered that number? You must know more

its alive and well but you would not reconize it.

Glad to see it's still going. Are you the guy who bought it from me and are you in the area?

no, my old man bought it from daisey hill around 28 years ago and started a resto on it .He had two gt's the other one was finished and this car was left aside until i restarted the resto about 25 years ago then life got in the way,house,family,business and ex wife the resto was restarted about 2.5 years ago and is now back on the road.
not being a fan of the single headlight grill [personal opinion}i have turned it into a later model strip tail lights,twin head light original grill still stored.

so i take it this is your burgundy one greg, that was featured in the paper recently?

This would have the Teal glow PR91 that was our no# 2 wedding car in 1973
It is still with you Greg looked gr8 then & now
cheers Ken

PS did'nt think it had twin webbers tho

it had webbers when it returned home.original when geoff owned it.

no probs greg thought it may have been the x Peter Butler then Jeff Wells electric blue car also had twin duel throaters but on factoru manifold

Peter Butler's white pr 90 lives here ? it has a g150 rip

Peter Butler's electric blue 68 1/2 gt 4h/light twin duel throaters sold to Jeff wells of race view
rolled written off motor & trans grafted to 70 sedan later sold for $ 500.00 moved to Capalaba
with all spare parts sedan & GT long ago gone to god sedan to Birkdale tip GT to the old belmont tip now Carindale Heights elite estate so GTin good company
cheers

Ok with the paper work i got with patches on the inside of the hand book was info on a blue gt pr91 4207684. I asked Ross about it one day and it was wrecked in brissie some parts ended up in sydney and Ross passed them on to Dave (bell qld) this was the engine extractors ect that he was selling. I got most of the left over parts with patches it was a late one as the strip tail lights are going into patches.
I wonder if its the same car ?

more likely than not as a lot of panels ended up with us as did sedan with strip lights, front ended up a donor on pr91 67 gt motor out of sedan was a late g161 x florian with carbs & pipes ? but not GT engine still have motor I believe motor & box went south
cheers

rosco the car will be at lakeside this sunday if you wan't to see it.

Thats a bugger as i'm out of town till next week, maybe next time.

rossco some pics if avail would be good

i only have two part pics of this car, one covered in shave cream at my wedding and the front view with my girlfriend standing in front blocking most of the car. I bought the car from a guy in redcliffe named andrew. He went to college with me and he and his brother used to rally a sedan in the early 70ies. Back then nobody seemed to pay any attention to these cars except hard core bods.
