A few weeks back I introduced you to Damians 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Eleanor project. I didn’t have too many details on the project except for the photos.

So as you know there aren’t too many Eleanor’s over here in Australia and it’s not too often you get to see videos of them on youtube. So this week I was pointed in the direction of these two videos. Which are taken in Australia and by the number plates I can see it is in the same state I am in. Check out both videos after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Now I wasn’t aware that Bruce was into vintage cars but there is a lot of things I don’t know about over here in little old Australia. Bruce does, or did, have a nice collection including a pair of Corvette roadsters (an original ‘57 and a ‘67 Stingray), a 1955 Chevy Nomad, a ‘69 Dodge Charger and the piece de resistance, a 1968 Shelby GT500 convertible.
