Wow, thats cool! I wish I'd kept mine.I still have mine! Reading it as we speak
Not sure who owned these two tough Falcons, but they sure are cool! The XA hardtop nearest camera appears to have Mt Eden Service Station signage on the front fender.
Dave Chung versus Garry Taylor.
Not sure who either of these are. Any thoughts people?
Nick Liefting versus Guy Lim.
I have most of the cards but not the folder or the poster, have several duplicates, to swap !! If you want what I have posted, can do that on one of the threads ..I still have mine! Reading it as we speak
I understand that most of the photos used were taken at a Hot Rod and Custom Show in Rotorua..

where I had duplicates I managed to put both picture and description in one image !!
Presume that is the Chung from Berry and Chung in Wellington that made Cobra replica and did all sort of custom work !! .Dave Chung versus Garry Taylor.
Yes thats him Roger.
There were two different sets of Weetbix cards Roger. The image you posted is from the first series, while the cover from the booklet Rikko posted is from the second series.I have most of the cards but not the folder or the poster, have several duplicates, to swap !!

Must have stopped eating Weetbix as never knew of the second series. cheers
It would be interesting to hear more about the car. It appears to have quite a rare combination of Vintage Red, bonnet black outs and tan trim.

Nah, sold it a few years back to a guy in Christchurch. Ex cop I think from memory and Secretary of the Chrysler Club. He apparently still owns it now.
Colours in photo don't do it justice. Not sure what the story is with black showing on bonnet opening but tan was seat cover.
GO7960 is presently undergoing a full restoration. Vintage Red/Tan interior. Dealer sticker is Walsh Motors Cambridge.
Actually, looking deeper this is probably not the same car. While it is a Vintage Red/Tan trim R/T E49 it has been with the current owner for the past 40yrs in the NI.
I was visiting Moorehouse Muscle Cars in Chch a couple of years ago and the owner Daryn was talking about a red E49 he had there which he sold to a guy and his wife who stopped by. I thought he said the guy was an ex-policeman, and that the car was the ex-Ron Rutherford race car. But maybe I'm getting my facts mixed up.
Ralph Wright on the gravel return road. Must have done wonders for the slick tyres. Just as well they were much harder back in those days.
Ken Vincent's curious looking rail with minimal bodywork. Was quite rare to see rear engine drag cars then.
Errol Uttinger's Mighty Mouse. Thats Errol on the ground in the overalls. Check out the cars in the background.
