Would love to find out more about that John. I just assumed it was long since dead and buried.

Could be tucked away in a quiet garage in ,maybe Eltham, or in the Naki (Stratford connection)?
Have to be about April 2006, there was this, and a Anglia 105E with a V8, both on Trademe.
The Mustang was so distinctive, a dirt track saloon car , absolutely was old school survivor from the 70s. Who else built one up?- maybe Dale bought it , and it lives a new identity as red

Ohh under the shade of the mountain!!! I have found a few gems out there, hiding in sheds and lean to's.....like a very rare 68 Camaro SS convertible and a 71 Z/28 ex race car....Dale didn't beat me to them...
Peter-The Camden Cowboy- Cricks Monaro looked immaculate in irredescent paint, mag wheels and pin stripes
Was heavily rammed on Anniversary Day in a first lap spin, severely damaging passenger door.won the first test match, but broke a great number of half shafts causing many spins in critical positions.
Max Kennerly-HR-really put on some tremendous drives-Hot Rod Mag.

I posted the Peter Crick Monaro image on our Facebook page a few days ago, and Chris Turner posted the following photos he took with the following description: "Kinda looks like this one I saw in cobber peddy SA"
More than likely not the same car; the rollcage is different, and Monaros were plentiful in Aussie speedway during the 70s and 80s. But still really great pics, and interesting to see they're still out there lurking.
How about some early NZ stockcars. Pre war American coupes were the body of choice for many years, and vast numbers of these vehicles gave their lives to the bullring ovals during the '50s and '60s.
I myself have a '39 Ford Deluxe coupe that was due to end its days as a stockcar in the '60s, but fortunately the transformation was never completed.
Check out all the old coupes here.

STOCK CAR TITLE TO REX WELLS
'Rex Wells must have had his faith in stock car racing restored. This season has been one long, hard luck story for 32-year-old Rex. But in the Tasman Stock Car Club championship race he drew the pole position for the first time this season. And also for the first time, he finished in a local race. And it was the first race he'd won. Defending champion, Chris Guard, was trying to make it three in a row. But he didn't. He took the southern corner too fast, dust ruined his vision and he went into the windrow and stayed there. Ivan Neal was second to Wells and Cecil Woodford was third. About 5000 people watched the event'.
