Hey mate, bought a driver. Was a bit more than my budget, but it was fully restored/redone and brand new basically so figured spend an extra 10-15k rather than buy one  import it and then spend like 30k here to get it anywhere plus all the time and headache lol.

Im from Vic mate.

I thought $72k was a bit much for a rough around the edges example with a few of the less desirable features, but hey, helps prop up the value of mine.
Looking forward to seeing what you've bought Jefferson, leave us in suspense why don't you?  ;D
I bet you can hardly wait.

72k is quite a bit of $$ but seems to be what they are going for mate give or take, anything less and needs a bit of work done to it.

i enquired over the months about some chargers locally here, one was 45k and needed new paint, electrical work and a good touch up, the other was 25k for a 69 shell with nothing in it, the other was 23k for a 68 shell with nothing in it

all 3 have sold now. Unreal.


Hahaha, yea mate, ill reveal once its closer, i have some videos and photos of it, but will post them up closer to arrival date. Gets shipped out in the new few weeks, then a bit over a month to dock into Australia.

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

Congrats mate.  :cheers:  Hope you get heaps of enjoyment out of it.

  At least tell us what colour!


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.
