I too would love to know what happened to "Colour Me Gone" which is how I always remembered the old girl as it took off down Craigie Ave and turned left onto Highway One during the one off Timaru Street race meeting and to what we now have today as a replica / restoration / re-creation

to geebeenz-- what more has to be said on how ,the old custaxie end up after they stopped racing the old girl.if you take the time you will see what you want to know on the roar season.so you know tony krilitech,--now they say he was the main man behind making up the old car.there are a lot who would like to hear his story ,on how he went about making up the custaxie that robbie raced in 1967.i for one would like to know what diff he used in the car,could you ask him to put something up on this car.
