Rosevale GT Run 2003

The skies were overcast when the white ZC of John P pulled into the driveway.

 

With clouds on the horizon and racing on at QLD raceway,we wondered how good the run would be? ut of character,we turned up on time at gailes in my new 351XYGS to see some old faces and new.

Bob T was introducing himself to new members, while Dave and Mark looked over John C’s super original south african XYGT.

 

 

The word was out that traffic was nasty heading to QLD raceway, so we went a new route via Walloon and rosewood.  Most people i talked to thought this was a nice change after 20 years of the same way.

 

The toowoomba cars were already there upon our arrival (thanks to John B’s leadership)
and included the 2 cars above. Nice 72 XAGT in red pepper,and clean Yellow ochre XYGT.  Errol and Karen were seen checking out the hay bales after they parked their Yellow blaze XBGT coupe

 

 

Eddy and Sandra arrived in the track red XYGT and reminded us that the All Ford Day is fast approaching again “14th sept” Here’s a very rare XTGT which many people haven’t seen ,or not or a long time. Paint code X..mmmm

 

Stratosphere grey. Good food was available,as well as the usual drinks and bonnet popping went on. Lots of people showed that GT’s are still an aussie muscle car, while others choose to just cruise.

 

 

Kens Apollo Blue XBGT

Mark VDT was rumbling around,while a super cool trike pulled wheelies here and there.
The annual walk to the cemetery found no new occupants.
Seemed to be plenty of yellow xb coupes this time…but no XRGT’s?

Rodger dodger and Donna and lovely Louise were sooo rich ,
they bought their new “acid rush” BAGT and GT gold XTGT.

 

 

All in all another great Rosevale…lots of fun people,new cars to look at,beautiful QLD winter sun, and lazy setting for relaxing or cleaning the cobwebs 🙂

 

 

Murreys Lime Glaze XAGT

 

 

Super rare Snow white (late xb-xc color) XBGT owned by Henry

 

 

Even a Windsor HO was there..Driven by Colin B

keep cruisin and fly the ford flag high!!
see you at Bribie – Bernie

Bundy Run 2002

I arrived at Allan Powell Ford at 8am as the salesman were moving some cars out of the yard to make way for the Falcon GT’s.

I had a chat to a couple of other members while we were waiting for the rest. Pretty soon Chris turned up and started to arrange where we would park our cars. A steady stream of members and cars began to arrive.

I spent the next few hours catching up with a few people I haven’t seen for a while and meeting a few I hadn’t met before and looking at some nice cars..

These were XRGT (1), XTGT (1), XWGT (3), XYGT (5) PHASE 2 (1), PHASE 3 (1) XAGT (4), XBGT (5) EBGT (1), JOHN GOSS (1) XY FAIRMONT (1), XYGT REPLICA (1) XAGT REPLICA (1), 66 MUSTANG (1) XW UTE (1).

Lunch was a sausage sizzle put on by Allan Flor Ford and after this it was off to the RUM ISTILLERY for a tour, most of the locals chose to stay outside and watch the cars, as the tour was limited to 25 people. From all reports the tour was very enjoyable as was the rum sampling afterwards. The drivers were doing the responsible thing and finding designated drinkers to down the second free Rum sample.

Next was a cruise down along the beachfront detouring via “THE HUMMOCK” (Bundy’s only hill) where it was extremely windy and very cool as well. The stop at the beach was short lived due to the declining weather. That night it was off to the BROTHERS SPORTS CLUB for a nice meal, a chat with members and a few cold beers. Chris noted that the council had the courtesy of putting traffic lights in a few days before the weekend. Obviously to help the GT club members get safely to the other side of the road where the hotel was. Thanks to Allan Powell Ford and Chris T who organized the day and all the members who showed up for making it an enjoyable day. Thanks also to the Tropical Gardens Motor Inn for the fine accommodation. (and for arranging for the strippers on Friday night – Kevin.H)

Motorclassica 2014 – Mustang Display

Ford’s iconic Mustang turns 50 this year and to mark that milestone, the big American coupe will be celebrated with a special display at the 2014 Motorclassica at Melbourne’s Royal Exhibition Building from 24 to 26 October.

Mustang is Ford’s most famous nameplate and its introduction in 1964 is widely credited as the start of car ‘personalisation’, thanks to an endless list of accessories that buyers could choose from.

Adding to the possible permutations, over the years the Mustang has also been available in fastback, coupe and convertible body styles.

Enthusiasts will also cite the Mustang as the world’s first ‘Pony Car’ and, as V8 engine sizes grew, the fast Ford was instrumental in kicking off the Muscle Car era of the late ’60s and early ’70s.
“Ford’s Mustang is certainly iconic, it’s easily Ford’s most recognised and revered nameplate across the globe,” Motorclassica Event Director Paul Mathers said.

“Five decades of production is a tremendous achievement and, thanks to that famous ‘personalisation’ accessories list, there must have been millions of different combinations built along the way.

“At Motorclassica we’re featuring the landmark models from the very earliest and original Mustang to the most sought-after and valuable, like the Boss 302 and 429s and a Shelby GT-500KR.”

Rarest of all, there’s a 2007 Shelby Mustang “Fender” special edition – as in Fender Guitars – which is one of only two in the world!

Also on show at Motorclassica will be a Mustang Mach 1, an original Shelby GT 350H former Hertz rental car and a Mustang Eleanor, the much-modified fastback made famous by the 1974 film ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’.

And finally, there’s the newly-completed toolroom replica of the famous EXP 500 “Green Hornet” machine.
