Kiwi - here is some more personal history on this particular car. The photos that were stored on photobucket have since been taken down. However, i still have them.

Here was the car, unrestored, as found we found at Scott's shop in April 2009 - prior to the restoration - with it's Tempest front clip still on it. The owner of the original front clip was well known in Florida. He wanted $60k just to return the original sheet metal to the car. Scott had a new custom aluminum front clip made for less money.

Outline of Stan's name is still visible

The original 421 Super Duty is long gone. Scott had another one built out of Arizona.

Ubly Dragway is near my house and it is still running. I don't think this plaque survived the restoration.

Last time I heard this car was sold, it still had not paid for the cost of the restoration.

now that is super special!!! 

i was fascinated, by how he went and put a early model diff in it to get the ratio he needed then the dealership puts all the parts numbers into available stock for other to build the same set up !!!

Driving through Rotorua this afternoon on my way home from work I spotted this 66 gp. Check out the price !!

It did have a freashly rebuilt 389 that the guy said cost him 13k .... 🙄

it was super tidy but both front and rear bumpers needed rechroming and there was a few small spots of rust showing ,

Classic car values look to have risen dramatically here in New Zealand due to the Covid lockdowns, as people have spare cash they can't spend on overseas trips. I plan to reassess my insured value next renewal, so long may it continue!

Chris, you don't see any US classics' here in Auckland for sale at a car yard.

I know Russel !! I nearly fell out of my van driving down old Taupo road in Rotorua when I was it ... and behind it was a 68 Laurent too 

and what looked like a c10 truck
