My old Favourite....HG Ute
My Grandparents bought it new in September 1971 Glacier white 3 on the tree 173.
I purchased it in November 1986 with 49000mls on the clock.
Pulled the worked 308 out of my HJ in 1994 and put into the ute with a Turbo 700.
Added A/C & P/Steer although P/S was average.
Changed colour from Glacier White to Dodge Viper Blue in 2001 where it attended Summernats (just as a cruiser)
Sold in 2004 to a bloke in Sydney who said i'd get first offer to get it back.
2005 Finances were better and when i went to buy it, he'd already sold it.
After years of chasing for it and hearing reports of "wrecked", "written off" & found at wreckers, also numerous posts on forums looking for it, a reply came on Fastlane last Saturday.
I now know of it's whereabouts and i'm waiting for more pics.Hoping the owner will talk to me and he's interested in selling it back to it's original family.

I hope you can grab her to Agro, I never knew the grandparents link to it. Even nicer to have it return.

MMMMMMM......
Who wouldn't be proud to be seen in that?
Hope you can get it and hope it doesn't cost too much.
