Marong Car Show August 2009

LOCO XP · 31-08-2009, 11:48 AM

Had the pleasure of checking out the Marong car show (situated about 15km from Bendigo) yesterday (30th Aug 09), snapped a ton of interesting photos that I thought I'd share with all. The event was run by the Federation of Veteran Vintage & Classic Vehicle Clubs, excellent turnout of trucks, tractors, stationary engines, classic, vintage and modified cars and rods and vintage bikes. Unfortunately all prospective entrant cars between myself and friends were sorta outta action (My EH having dizzy troubles: sorted yesterday though.... XP outta fuel, Statesman outta reg, Davo's HQ Coupe harmonic balancer loose, his Chevy Luv ute in the thick of an engine transplant (Isuzu Piazza EFI with T3/T4 turbo) Ben's HT Monaro in a million pieces... again.... anyway, definately take one or more cars and bikes next year....

But since this is the FORD forums....

Sweet XM Coupe... I also noticed a very nice XP coupe when I entered, but must have left cos I went looking for it later to snap some pics, but lost it...

and some precious cargo, 3 very original Ford coupes.....

Tough Chev rod with Olds running gear

And for the Mopar guys

Battery bigger than the engine block in a little Austin bread van. Somehow I don't think it would require that much cranking power....

Willys

Very O.G. Nash. Is it just me or would this make a mean leadsled....it's already there!

Yeah, I only found out Saturday night, if I had known a little earlier I would have pushed a little harder to get the EH or the XP sorted to enter. I missed last year (but apparently the weather was horrid and it cleared out early), the year prior I entered th XP (only completed it the day before....)

Was quite a few cars ago now but I built that blue XY GT replica with the silver stripe. Excellent pics of a wide range, nice work.

Well done, very nice replica indeed, even had some old bloke telling me as I was taking pics that she was the genuine article and worth over $250K.... not knowing the true story, I simply said it's hard to pick them these days (better to indulge the illusion)... hope you sold it for that much lol
