I see a Blue Pearl BA G220 every fortnight on my mowing run. The owner has hacked the rear bumper to fit an aftermarket dual tip exhaust.

Think its this one that was sold in Melbourne. https://burnsandcoauctions.com.au/po...ysler-newport/ A 63' "Town and Country" is almost the same, I note the round tail lights of the 63 against diamond shaped tail lights of the 64 wagons.

Good bit of digging - but also a little sad to see all the overpainted fasteners and clips. A “Maaco Preferred” paint job?

Interesting gauges and with a moon tacho which looks identical to an early 60's Kenworth Pyrometer.

Instant nostalgia, when second hand ones of these were everywhere.

I don't think I've ever seen a NA-NC with a louvre before.

Seen a few Holden one-tonners lately. Just after midday, a super-tidy one with WB Statesman front, in that metallic sage green colour. Uplifting to look at.

Yes the wheels are a bit much but they will go, I have a set of Evo 8 Enkeis to replace. The kit is actually factory spec, I have the front lip but previous guy had it off to be repainted as it was getting scuffed. Ill pop that back on, its period and fine for what I want to do with the car.

Being a import the indent is for the Japan shaped plate, depending where in the world they are exported to, the bracket varies from a metal bracket to a plastic numberplate base for the Euro stuff Euro plate Riser or Plinth |

I can get a set of EVO8's for less than $1k so thats not bad...but I may stick with 18's for this car as it opens up tyre choice. Which is a shame as I am happy with 17

With the RPF1"s, it was cheaper to source from the U.S. than here or Japan, back when our $ was on par.... Nice condition Brembo calipers cheap as well! |
