Another with non-original motor? This one with lots of parts and panel swaps going by the advert. Crikey, you don't get much for your mill nowadays

There was probably a lot of them that had rev limiters disconnected, and no longer have the original motor now.

I'll bet there are probably just as many genuine HO's out there without the original engines in them, then there are matching numbers.

Don't think I've mentioned this before and I think it's sort-of relevant to the thread ... Ballarat, probably about 1980-ish, former school mate and I visited another former school mate who worked weekends behind the till at a service station on the south side of Sturt St (main street). There was a Falcon in the service bay area, maybe it was just the shell and attached panels; red or orange. He said that the mechanic/service station owner/manager had paid $1000.00 (that's what my memory is telling me, for what it's worth) for the ID plate/s from a wrecked GT. The body in the service bay was getting a new identity.
