I clearly understand that, I have just never seen it in its original colour before.

Is the Aussie car where the money is nowadays in terms of rarity?

GTO must be worth a bit too.

Reckon that escort would be worth a mint now. They seem to fetch crazy money now.

The sassy grass Duster is the candy apple pro street one now. Amazing that it survived intact through the '70's and '80's only to get cut up in the 2000's by which time it was highly collectable but now highly devalued....

Yes the Aussie fairmont is the money shot,,

and yes like blue has said the duster was a nice car 340 power and never cut when it was worthless, then 2000,s it was starting to rise in value and got cut :roll:

The Sassy Duster was a great all rounder,20mpg on a run,13.5s at the strip.
Thanks for posting pics,I remember 90% of them.
Notice the Worth Valley Cruisers cars in the show,My old man was in that club with a MK2 custom capri :lol:

Any idea what happened to the Gold Duster.

Looks spot on to me.......wonder if its survived?

The gold Duster has been yellow for a good few years and was owned by Mel for probably 10 years or so. Not sure what's happened to it since she died, Alex will probably know, he sold it to her as I recall.
