Default new 33
Went down to Brisbane this week to pic up from the customs depot my mates new 33 he bought from New Zealand, a REAL nice car, funny enough,it cam from just a few miles from where our 33 came from,and both previous owners were good mates.
One good thing we saw in the customs holding shed was a 1/2 dozen asians grinding stuff off some sort of cosmetics,the customs guy told us they had imported them into Aus without the country on manufacture labled,but instead had an embossed Kangaroo on the product,they were made to grind that off,as I drove the 33 out past them and they all looked,I told them with a smile"this wasn't made in Ch##a"

This is a real nice car. If its the same I am thinking of it was on Trade Me ( like E-Pay)for ages and the same rooster that was selling this had a number of other v8s also. I drooled over this for months.

Nice one Lawrie. 2 x Maroon 33 Fordors in Gladstone, that will confuse the locals.

Hi Lawrie sorry to hear your mate died. I recall there was a black 34 4dr, a green 38 Standard and some others, a real nice little collection.

Hard to beat a 33.... A bit like the 39 deluxe....they should have stopped tinkering then...the 33 grill and hood are perfect and just a bit understated, perfect for my tastes...I'm lovin' the colour as well....very nice score mate.
