Hi All,
My other toy is my 1978 TE Cortina, have owned it for 17 years, started out as a 2.0lt 4cyl, 4 speed POS, paid $200 for it. 2 weeks later I removed 4cyl/ 4 speed, and put in a 6cyl 250 crossflow, C4 auto. Couple of years down the track built worked 250 crossflow, raced it at Bairnsdale drags for several years, was running flat 9.00 sec pass's over the 1/8 mile. Blew 6cyl, replaced that with worked 351 Cleveland/ auto, out of an XB GT look a like I had that rusted out.

Raced Cortina with 351 in Western Victoria, very disappointed, was now running high 9's to low 10 sec pass's, heaps of fuel troubles. So ditched the carby and avgas/ petrol set up and went Straight LPG, using twin VN V6 throttle bodies, times improved straight away, after tuning and playing around with different LPG set ups, now running 8.4 sec over the 1/8 mile consistantly. Problem now not being able to get all power to the track, not running slicks, just wheel spins 1, 2 & 3rd gear. Now thinking about trying to get "Club Rego" on it so that I can drive it a bit more. Also need to have decent Auto built for is as it blew auto last time I raced it. So it is now just sit in shed under car cover gathering cobwebs. Cortina doesnt run blue top section of bonnet scoop, just has twin throttle bodies with twin filters sticking out through the hole.

My car is 23 years old and is a great 4wd the best made 4wd ever in my opinion. It's a flash 1991 GQ patrol.

Will upload photos at a later date

Just browsing at the value of early Falcons and Holdens. The depreciate rapidly off the showroom floor and sink to zero dollars then appreciate faster than they originally depreciated. :)

Wish I owned a warehouse.....I'd buy a heap and store them :)

Have had a lot of cars in my time, some I miss, some, good riddance.
Currently, my GU has brought that number up to (approx) 38 cars.

Had makes and models ranging from 1973 to 2006.

Best 2 were the most recent.

1977 XC Falcon 500 Ute, Option 97 Cobra kit/paint, 351/C4/9".

Don't have the XC now, it went to make way for the GU.

I do have this little yellow 37 year old girl still here as my little project (if I ever get around to it)
See who knows what it is...

We have a 95 EF Futura wagon that we bought 15 years ago. Wife has her personal plate on it - plate is worth more than the car now.
I wanted to buy her a Territory but she refuses to part with it. It's probably a good idea because they're so easy to work on and we no longer have any fear of shopping trolleys..

I agree, very easy to work on.

I had a HQ, HZ and HX. The later two had a different dash to the HQ. A lot wider than the HQ. Plus the HQ one looks kinda sunken in more than the Z and X's. Door trims were all interchangeable and pretty much looked the same. Definitely a HQ...

I'll see if I can dig out the old pre digital photo's... lol

This was the ad to my first car. Bought it 3 months before I got my licence.

The 253 lasted about 6 months and a warm 5 lt went in and a set of 15x8 and 15x5 weld wheel pro stars, other than that it pretty much stayed that way till I sold it after 18 months. Even gave the new owner a rear bar fitted with ltd tail lights already to go in.


Between the boys in blue taking it off the road 3 unroadworthy stickers and the crooks breaking into it I sold it. What a mistake :banghead::banghead:

A good friend of mine is the guru for all things F100 1950's, he passed a farm one day with a skeleton wreck in the paddock and asked the farmer if he wanted to sell.
Farmer said if you can get it out you can have it for free, turned out to be rusted out 1956 F100, sold the badge on the bonnet for $500
cabin was a throw away but chassis doors and bonnet were keepers.
He was the guy who figured out how to build a tilt front on the F100's.

Now i'm not sure if my car counts but nonetheless... I still have my UC Torana, (not the Sunbird), red 202, automatic. Needs a new paint work. Have done some basic work: holley 350, extractors, smaller starter motor and suspension changed to meet the SLR5000 design. Also put on a set of centreline rims with yokohama tyres. Corners very nicely too. But it's been stored away for some years now ever since i started buying newer cars.
