[quote="Jizim"]Haa great to see Mundell and Slaughters ad here. Thats where I started my apprenticeship. Barry Algie was there at that time and built a twin cam head for a Mini.... as was Bruce "Porky" Anderson. Cool thanks guys. Regards, Tony Rutherford.[/QU
Hi Tony- I was talking to Barry Algie today, he said the two of you worked together at Engine Rebuilders

[quote="Steve Holmes"]Hey thats great Milan! The car advertised I believe is the second Pinepac car, which the Pinepac team built themselves. But the car advertised further up the page for 35K, I'm not sure which one that is. Tony Rutherford will probably know though.[/quote]
Yep you are right on the dot there Steve. I had the original car that Bruce and Wayne got from Aussie. (which just sold for telephone numbers) This is a Hopper built car that they used as a second car I guess and Rex Findlay owned this (replica). Wayne put this one onto its roof doing a practice session at Manfield just Prior to Wellington Street race.....then Graeme Addis was looking at "buying a drive" in the B & H and wrong slotted the Getrag gearbox and spun into flaggies post at Railway Corner at Pukekohe causing major damage. However, my car got restored by Ken Hopper and sent to Aussie ....later to be sold for big bucks and then Ken got the job of restoring this car and sending it back as well. Ken has made a very good top resto on both these cars and that is why I guess they command such a high price..... Regards, Tony Rutherford.

[quote="Steve Holmes"]Nice one, I was starting to think I was going crazy when I mentioned on the Pinepac Mustang thread one of these cars was up for sale 7-8 years ago for 35K. Both cars now race in Historic Group C and A, and at least one of them has been for sale more recently, with another 100K added to the price tag.[/quote]

I don't know if this is the same car that was advertised for $35000. This one was for sale in December 1993.

I'd not noticed that before Jim! That would have been the height in in-car bling.

the 1967 Mustang has a "record player" :eek: Wouldnt want to come across any speed humps or pot holes ;)

On another thread there was discussion about Greg Taylor and his cars. In the January 1994 issue of Speedsport he was advertising these cars for sale.

[quote="John McKechnie"]Is this the one under discussion on another thread- Abes Babe at Baypark.?
talk was $175k aus.
The value of authentic race cars is a bit like central Auckland house prices.
And consequently they are careful who they exercise and play with.[/quote]

I could be wrong John but I think the one in the ad is the ex-Don Smith/Bo Seton car which became the first Pinepac car.

Awesome!
