A few pictures to share from down under, it may not be a ford but its got a blue heart in the form of a 351ci (5.8lt) Cleveland V8.
(ignore the US plates - its not yet registered in Adelaide)






Cheers, Paul

was it easy to get compliance? is there an age where its fine as it is?

Thanks for the comments.
It shouldnt catch fire any more than any other car unless its neglected, it has a low pressure fuel system feeding a 4 barrel autolite carby, but a fire extinguisher is a good investment in any car thats for sure.
Not too much trouble getting compliance, in South Australia all cars have to be RHD unless they are 30 years or older & then have to be very original except for a few compliance mods such as seat belts, headlight change & 2 external rear view mirrors etc..
Yes Elvis did shoot his because it wouldnt start & the bullet lodged in the steering wheel, mine didnt start either....but I just bought a new battery.
