Parts for sale

Hi I have a few parts for sale that came with my Barracuda, I'm moving overseas so I have to slim down what we're shipping.
They are on FB marketplace, but I have listed them all on my profile page as well, I'm going to be sorting out the other crate I have with alternators, dizzies and other ...

Re: Couple of Cars in Fremantle

Brontë Road in Waverley used to have lots of second hand furniture shops, it must have been an era thing they were always full of 1930s drinks cabinets and club lounge armchairs and sofas, they were really cheap shops great for setting up your first apartment. We started off on Pekivil Street off ...

Re: Couple of Cars in Fremantle

Yep, I bought Charlie for $4000 in 2000 so about £1600 at the exchange rate then. Sold him for the same 5 years later. I reckon a CL 318 in solid condition in Australia now must be about $60 to 80,000 now, so about £30-40,0000. Dave might have a better idea. All the Aussie muscle cars have become ...

Thanks, I ended up getting them from RockAuto. £156 incl shipping and taxes and here 24hrs later. I don’t know how they can do that.

Re: Couple of Cars in Fremantle

Funny, 2000 to 2004 we were in Maroubra, we were working at Fox studios, I was a set designer and illustrator on a few films and my wife worked at a special effects company. My favourite memories were Friday beer o’clock, rolling out the gates when the cricket was on next door arm out the window ...

Rear shock absorbers

Hi everyone, I’ve got a set of 6 leaf rear springs on the way from ESPO in the states, expensive but the existing springs were done. I’ve gone with a 1” lift over stock just to give a little more tyre clearance with 15” x 255s. The Monroe air shocks in the back at the moment are pretty harsh so I ...

Re: Couple of Cars in Fremantle

Thinking about it Dave, if you were on the edge of Randwick / Coogee, we were just down the hill from you, a quick roll down Avoca street to Anzac Parade but turn left up Holme street by the army base and right onto Garrett Street. Small world isn’t it. Used to love the old cinema up at Randwick.

Re: Couple of Cars in Fremantle

Sorry Steve but you’re such a Bogan mate! No I hear you current affairs is becoming more depressing by the day. We are heading back as soon as we sell up here, I won’t be able to afford a Valiant Charger when we get back, so I’m taking our right hand drive 69 Barracuda with us. Sydney is a proper ...

Re: Couple of Cars in Freemantle

We used to live up from the beach at Maroubra Junction, it was heaven, 10 minutes down Anzac Parade in the Charger to work at Fox studios and 10 minutes the other way to Maroubra Beach, La Perouse and Botany Bay.
We used to take the dog down the bay / La Perouse because it was a dog beach, there ...

Re: American car mechanics


brakes is brakes, any local "classic or old car" garage for that, you might have to help with parts....

those are fixed calipers i.e they don't look like like girling or lockheed single pot sliders associated with lesser or later models...I've have told you what they aren't, apologies ...

Re: American car mechanics

Thanks Stu, it hadn’t occurred to me until you said it. The pads for the KH brakes are the same as the standard 4 piston brakes though aren’t they?

Re: American car mechanics

Thanks Dave I posted these pics on the FABO boards and the consensus was that they are KH brakes. I’ve ordered a pair of “Greenstuff” pads from EBC as I’ve heard good things from people who’ve used them in other classics. I’ll check them when they turn up.
I’ve also ordered some Dynamic Friction ...

Re: American car mechanics

That’s interesting, I hadn’t considered that, is there any way to tell visually, the only identification I could find is a number 71915.
