Peter Woods also bought a Shelby like this as an insurance write off that had a bit of a front end prang- nothing major, but the Shelby factor was too hard for the insurance company to overcome at the time. Probably helped Woody to get into the USA import scene procuring parts for it. His was blue, silver stripes, think it went north again after a few owners down south.

Keolin Pitiroy ? He was on Waka Huia one Sunday morning a couple of months ago talking about this car.
Maybe it became the Junovich car ?

Evan Watson sold his 56 Chev 2 door - used to tow his saloon car- to Ivan Junovich about 73/74

Thanks John , as a kid I remember seeing the 56 and the F100 outside the Railside Ave panelshop in the 70's.

I know that the Ivan Jujnovich '56 coupe survives. This car was featured in the Weetbix card collection in the late 1970s/early 80s when it had a different owner. It was painted gold and brown from memory, and had spoked wheels. Its still in that same guise now, and has been owned by Nick Boblea for many years.

But PDJ is right, the car pictured above was owned by Kolin Pitiroi, and is a different car to the Jujnovich car.

Steve,
Keolin's car the "Pampas City Belair" does survive , it took a long time to be repaired, IIRC Dave Loose became involved in the repair at a later stage.

Thanks Duncan, you are a wealth of knowledge! Great to know the car has survived.
