Today Pat nibbs53 and I took the rust free 62 GT over to be shipped out to Australia along with the green 53 hardtop, green 56 skyhawk and the brown 58 supercharged silver hawk, I know they will all find good new homes and owners down under.

I think I remember the GT. Isn't that the one your family member was doing but lost interest? It was a pretty high price as I recall.
Still, gotta love rust free!Proud NON-CASO

Of course, it depends if the car is as good as is represented. We know if you say something we can believe it. But this one would catch my eye a little quicker in that price range (and I vacation there enough that I could plan a trip and bring it home with meProud NON-CASO

Boy, must be a rough life for Tony! First he spends most the summer here in the U.S., attends the international meet, then heads to Singapore for vacation. Damn, I could really suffer like that!
thanks for the info. I was a bit concerned. My geography is a bit weak on OZ. I do hope the rest of you fellows are all right too? Terrible buisness that, reminds me of the flooding that occured in and around the Midwest of our own country some years back. Very worrisome business.Home of the famous Mr. Ed!
