Hoss,thats an interesting piece..Have a mate way up north,who has a 60 panel,came in from Wyoming several years back...its for sale at the moment...
Is that one a genuine 4wd,or has it been converted??Actually,its either a 60 with a 59 hood,or a 59 with a 60 grille... Still looks good..
As far as shipping goes,I think it cost about NZ $1800 to ship our F100 out from California about six years back..[Three vehicles in a 40 ft container] Got no idea what it would cost now,as the shipping is quite competitive between the two countries,but,the cost of shipping from the east coast to here is quite a bit more,,plus,the alternative is shipping to Ca.from halfway across[or further] your great[big] country can be quite expensive I am told..Time someone started doin something about that bridge between the two countries,that Dave S was talking about...

Now that is a tidy looking little number..That would probably owe about NZ$20000 by the time it got here,with the exchange rate,shipping,and tax,and all the other nasty little surprises that get lumped on the price between there and here,,then go thru an inspection,a very rigorous one too,before it is allowed on our roads..

This 1951 Ford Custom Club Coupe has been sitting outdoors in near Fresno, California for the last 7 years. Before that it was built as a period hot-rod with a Flathead V8, toploader 4-speed, and a lowered suspension. The seller states the the roof is sun-baked and rusting, but there is no rust underneath .








The interior is dry from sitting outside during the hot summers. It has ‘68 Mustang bucket seats and a black interior. The Hurst shifter and full Steward Warner gauges across the dash are well done and are right for a 60’s-era hot rod.



The 256-cubic-inch Merc flathead has Offy heads, 2-deuces, headers, and a Mallory distributor. The Ford Toploader 4-spd pushes power back to a 9-inch posi with 3.89:1 gears. Brakes are discs up front and over-sized drums in the rear.

Yeah,thats a kool old car...I would be into that if I had the cash,,and somewhere to park it...

Heck I would put the Bucket in the carport to be able to have that in the garage ...... but sadly, money is the problem and I know several of you people would say..... "but Whip,the dizzie is at the wrong end"
