    That's not the ex McKay 250PF, the owner's father bought it new in the 60's, it was delivered through Lowe's the original importer & he recently got it back from a full restoration, it was a beautiful car, Guido's car was also naturally very special.

    Nice shots,,
    Sebring looks the business..
    I missed it this month, ended up going to a Muscle car event at Prospect,,
    My car and my friends 355 spider stood out like dogs balls there (especially because my car was leaking a bit of coolant due to a leaking water pump :D)

    The O family always owned it, but bought it for David Mckay to drive, which he did in a number of races. It was the beginning of Scuderia Veloce.

    Chris is a nice guy, I hadn't met him before, he was keen to know about any trips as I mentioned I was going on a great run in May, gave me his details to let him know of any future runs, he spoke about a group he does an early morning run to Lithgow to breakfast at the Tin Shed.

    No mate,the Type 3 Karmann Ghia behind the red E type.
    Hugely underated/overlooked styling IMO.

    Thanks for the thought. It's a 67 small block, looks a nice car but not that special.

    The pecking order for C2 Vettes is based on production numbers and combinations of options. It's different for each year from 63 to 67.

    that looks like the Cummins replica to me. He did a very thorough job of it, but a replica nevertheless.
