I look forward to the rounds later this year at QR and Lakeside.
As a result of coming over I started to look around at suitable cars for the class. I made contact with a gentleman here in QLD who has two cars forsale both ourlined below. I have no financial interst in these cars but believe they both offer very good value. If you would like more information send me a PM and I'll pass on the sellers details.
Cheers

Some info on both cars:
Calypso Coral 1970 Boss TransAm
This car was purchased in 1970 from the showroom floor and taken to a workshop and converted into a Trans Am car. It is a genuine Boss with Vin number still fitted to the car. It also comes with the original Marty report which lists all the extras the car was purchased with. Independent racer Greg Hessler built the car with Warren Tope playing a big part on the build and was able to supply lots of special parts from the 69 factory team cars. Warrens father was vice president of Fords powertrain group so hence the access to parts. It has various Kar Kraft and Shelby Team parts throughout. The engine was built by Bud Moore but the block is now a Boss 302. The Bud Moore inlet manifold is still on the car. The original seat, same as was in Moffat’s car but it has a modern race seat in for now. The car was restored back in the late 90s but was not raced very much.
Genuine Trans Am race history.
$120,000 AUD
Blue 1969 Mustang.
This car is brand new and race ready. It has been built to race in Group NC and is legal. Has big Lincoln front brakes with race rotors.
Rear brakes stock ford. Front spindles are Big block ford. The brace is the beefier one out of 70 Mustang.. Rear axle is floating. Diff is fitted with a watts lick set up from the states. Drive shaft is custom made. Top loader 4 speed. Custom fuel cell running 2 pumps. Fuel is pumped into pot then to engine. Battery mounted in boot. Engine was built from ground up by Bow Seaton. We started with the latest motor craft 351 Boss block. The very best of everything went in to it. Bench tested at over 530HP. Fully race tuned exhaust with same headers. 780 holly with 4 post adjuster. Interior we kept the ford dash facing and pads but fitted modern gauges. Control box between seats with push start. Modern peddle box and a Hurst shift with quick change linkages.
$110,000 is well below build cost.
Sorry the pics I had were too big for the site even after compressing. PM me and I'll pass on the sellers details.
