History
I purchased the vehicle near Geelong in Jan 2010. The previous owner claims to have purchased the car from an elderly lady near Horsham. A friend of his was carrying out work at her house and spotted the ute in her shed. He then rang a freind (the previous owner) and an offer was made to buy the ute from her.
The ute was given to the elderly lady brand new in 1962 as a first car from her father who was the car salesman at the local Ford delaership. Appartently the ute didn't get much use as she purchased a sedan a few years later.
If that story is correct, I am the third owner of this 50 year old ute!
