    Very nice!

    Where exactly is Geelong? I've been to the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Townsville and Darwin.

    Welcome to the site, lots of great people here with a wealth of knowledge. That's a very clean straight car you have. Did you bring it in yourself or pick it up locally? 351 windsors are a little tighter than 302s. I suggest you do a little homework there. Do you already have the 351? Good luck in your ventures, you'll be the only 4door wherever you go

    I think of Australia as the land of the 351 Clevelands so I thought that you might have been planning on going in that direction :D

    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada! What year is the car? I see small bumpers, but it looks like it also has turn signals in the grille. Is it a small-bumper conversion or did someone add the later grille. Beautiful colour and a very nice looking car! LOVE the Weld Draglites!!
