Hi Terry, sorry I forgot I had homework to do.
Attached info on the one I had briefly, as discussed for your records.



Thanks deano for confirming which 'special' it was and for the interesting paperwork!

1/ John, plz let us know when do you think the new Parcel Shelf Uppers are going to land ?
 
2/ Has anyone compared the new Instrument Dash Panels from Rotary at $399plus, as compared to Old-School-Auto
at $289plus, and comment the pros and cons of both please ?
 
3/ Any thoughts please on solutions to "crappy looking" dash switches even if only "chrome-leaf" application is possible ?
 
Cheers and hoping everyone had a GREAT EASTER !

Front parcel shelves arrive this Thursday.
 
I do reco switches that are chrome plated not leafed
 
Dash fascia is nice but needs a coat of clear laquer and the rings made chrome-I have one here a before and after to compare it to.  The fascia is the same from both companies - just watch the freight price on the cheaper one

Well after a long time tinkering and 3 other capris and an escort jumping in front of it the 165hp is ready.  Drives well and looks great

An RPO83  Falcon consists of a bigger carby and bigger set of headers, not much yet it is a big part of the FORD story in Australia.
You have mentioned  parts, but not the close ratio gearbox, or the cars provenance or the reason these eleven cars were built by Aus. Ford. We of the small ford fraternity just dont seem to value the Australian history of our cars as much as the Falcon boys do.
Is a Falcon GTHO phase three worth 1.4 million dollars? Not in the sum of its parts , but add the legend and yes it is.
This is where we are falling short. 
This car needs a full write up and a shannons auction to test its real value.
Something to ponder over, JR. Just sayin.
