History
Bought my pride and joy in 2008 deceased estate lucky again with buying a one owner vehicle from the dealership next to where I was working. Was very well maintained from previous owner who was a older Aboriginal man who worked at a rural council. I was lucky enough to meet his who brought me all the paperwork and second key to me. The day she brought them down to me is when I was getting brakes service and tires done. I had a phone call from my mechanic and said to me "are you having a laugh or what?" I was confused he then asked me to come down and check out what he discovered....it was amazing I hadn't driven the car yet and already I was excited but never expected what he showed me. The rocker cover was leaking quite bad so I said replace it but under that cover where a set of rather unusual lifters valves and springs......it was a Stroker...so I had the paperwork with me and there was over $10k worth of receipts in this bag....

And a $3,500 alpine/kicker sound system I put in...
I was made to sell the car but I didn't want just any spooner getting it so I found another SS which was a write off and paid to get all the running gear and engine put into my car and sold all my engine, running gear and other bits to my mate who later put it all in a drag car so it had been able to reach it's full potential and have a good home which to this day he still has....
Thank you for reading my rather long winded and sad story...sorry to anyone who reads it....but it's your fault to get this far.��
