Thanks subcom, I've been using similar tools to Jaxed for a while now to do daily searches of the major auto classified sites. As best as I can tell, there are 5 for sale on the west coast at the moment. Of them, 2 have rusted out bodies, 2 don't have the options I require, and the last one...

Eric Bana did an interview with one of the local car magazines down here about the time that the movie was released, and indicated that it was being rebuilt in-between work comittments - I'm pretty sure he said the shell was being straightened out at the time. I haven't heard anything more about...

Hi Gary, Not sure what part of Oz you are in, but if you're on the east coast, and it's a business you are trying to contact, try calling first thing in the morning (like 6-8am), it should be mid-to-late afternoon of the previous day in the US. If it's a private number you are calling, you...

Looks like a very nice driver. Not sure about the price - the same car was on Ebay about 5-6 weeks ago and only made it to $4500 - which was more than the reserve - I'm guessing the buyer couldn't come up with the money. Certainly if somebody wants a reasonably tidy '66 convertible, it's worth...

Yes they are, but that's government bureaucracy for you. I can install just about any engine I want (within reason) once it is here, but it must be essentially stock when it arrives in the country. I'm beginning to think I should just find a standard-specification project car that's basicly...

Thanks Mark, that's a nice car, but it's not suitable for my needs - the fact that it's running a 318 (not standard for that year) means I will not be able to get an import approval for it.

Hi Folks, Still looking. Anyone out there got anything that might be suitable?

I believe the hood is the same between 64 and 65, but the decklid on sedans, coupes and convertibles will almost certainly be different. IIRC, there are 2 decklids - 63-64 and 65-66. The 63-64 style curves down between the fins, while the 65-66 style has a squared-off edge at the rear. The 2...

Thanks bamacuda. I've wanted one of these for quite a few years, and with the exchange rates in my favor, now is the time to buy, if I can find the right car at the right price. It doesn't have to be super-nice, but ideally good enough to pass registration without too much trouble.

Hi fellow A-body enthusiasts, I'm currently looking to buy a 1964 or 1965 Valiant convertible, and hoping that somebody here may be able to help. My main requirements are: - Clear title - No rust, no or minimal filler, no major dents - Car must be running - Automatic transmission - Must have...
