21.01.2022 FOR SALE...... 1971 FORD MUSTANG 351ci CONVERTIBLE THE STORY... 1971 heralded the last restyling of the first generation Mustang. The car grew in size, gaining 3 inches in width in order to accommodate Ford’s big block 429ci (7.0 litre) engine without the need to rework the car’s suspension. These cars had long, broad hoods, truncated rear ends and thick-waisted styling which blended classic Mustang elements with Italian GT cues. The car’s weight increased due to tightening safety regulations and Ford's marketing efforts concentrated on new styling and features such as hidden windshield wipers, colour keyed racing mirrors and strategically placed appliques designed to accent the new design. There were 4 engine options including the 351ci (5.8 litre) "Cleveland" V-8, which had a 9.0 to 1.0 compression ratio and 4.0 x 3.50-inch bore and stroke, 240hp at 4,600 RPM and 350-lbs.ft. of torque at 2,600 RPM. The 1971 convertible would be the last year that Ford would produce a Mustang with a soft top for over a decade. All convertibles were equipped with a power top and a glass rear window. Of the 149,678 Mustangs produced in 1971, only 6,121 (or 4%) were convertibles. THE CAR Imported into Australia over 10 years ago by its current owner, this is believed to be an original miles car. Powered by its original Cleveland 351ci engine, this car is powerful and its smooth automatic transmission and sorted suspension make it a delight to drive. This Mustang looks tough with its optional Ram Air hood package with two NASA type hood scoops, twist style bonnet looks and Tu-Tone paint treatment. Other features include Magnum 500 wheels (including the spare) with brand new BF Goodrich tyres, a white convertible power top with original rear glass window, power front disc brakes and power steering. The original two-tone blue knitted vinyl interior is comfortable, there is a blue boot to cover the convertible top when in the down position the car has air conditioning (needs re-gassing). An extremely affordable V8 convertible Mustang that looks the part and will only increase in value as these early 70’s Mustangs continue to appreciate in the US.

21.01.2022 FOR SALE....... 1946 INDIAN CHIEF THE STORY... The Indian Chief is a motorcycle that was built by the Hendee Manufacturing Company and the subsequent Indian Motorcycle Company from 1922 to the end of the company's production in 1953. The Chief was Indian's "big twin", a larger, more powerful motorcycle than the more agile Scout used in competition and sport riding. The now-legendary V-twin 1946 Indian Chief motorcycle emerged as Indian's flagship model after World War II and the popular design relegated the American company's four-cylinder and smaller V-twin models to history. The 1946 model was similar to pre-war big Indians; the engine remained a 74-cubic-inch flathead and tank graphics were unchanged. As always, "Indian Red" was a popular colour choice however owners could order a Chief in any Dupont colour they liked. Two-tone finishes were also available. New for the 1946 Chief motorcycle was girder-style could-spring forks adopted from Indian's radical 841 model that had been designed for desert use by the U.S. military during the war. Production of Indian motorcycles ended with the last Chief made in 1953. THE BIKE Indian’s first and only production model after World War II. Finished in sparkling Seafoam Blue this 1946 Indian Chief has its original, legendary 1,205cc V-Twin 74ci flat head engine and three speed gearbox. This is a number’s matching bike with the engine number matching the frame number. The bike sports girder-style spring forks which provided more wheel travel (5 inches) than pre-war models, coupled with rear plunger suspension on soft springs. The suspension setup was legendary at the time and earned this model the title of the "world’s most comfortable touring bike". Wearing white wall tyres she has a Corbin speedometer and retains her original 6-volt power setup with battery and coil ignition. This bike also has a locking toolbox and front crash bars. A superbly clean example, she starts, runs and stops easily. A extremely sought after Indian motorcycle.

21.01.2022 FOR SALE...... 1977 HOLDEN HZ SANDMAN TRIBUTE UTE THE STORY... The HZ Holden was produced in Australia between October 1977 and April 1980 by Holden with a variety of equipment levels and in several different body styles. There were two special packages available based upon commercial vehicle platforms the Sandman Ute and the Sandman Panel Van. The Sandman concept was aimed squarely at the Aussie male youth market and proved an instant hit. Special features included a choice of V8 engines either 4.2 litre (253ci) or 5.0 litre (308ci) - along with a four-headlight grille and under bumper front spoiler. Radial Tuned Suspension (RTS) was introduced for the first time with this model, ensuring precise and predicable handling for the first time in a large Aussie car. A three-speed manual transmission was standard with a four-speed manual or three speed Turbo- Hydromatic auto optional. If a buyer selected every Sandman extra, the price was more than 150% of the cost of the basic HZ model. By the end of 1979, the Sandman had lost its place in the contemporary Australian youth culture sales orders slumped and many of the vehicles were sold with the stripes and tailgate logos deleted. The Sandman ute was phased out of production prior to the van, the last of which was manufactured around October 1979. . THE CAR This restored 1977 HZ Ute is a Sandman Tribute vehicle that started its life a standard 6-cylinder HZ. Now sporting a period correct Holden 253ci V8, she has a correct GTS dash and three speed automatic transmission. The engine is strong, exhaust note glorious and transmission smooth.

The Holden Monaro was a rear-wheel drive coupe manufactured by General Motors Holden in Australia from 1968 to 1975 and later re-introduced from 2001 to 2005. Holden also manufactured a 4-door saloon version of the Monaro from 1973 to 1977 only.

Included in the line-up was the new Monaro "LS" ("Luxury Sports") model which featured four headlights, chrome trim rings, tinted glass and an electric aerial.
