Mygoat, are you no longer required to convert all cars to rh steering? Is there an age limit for cars that need to be converted?

Great looking Goat!!

If the car is more than 30 years old we don't need to convert. Saves us heaps of money and doesn't wreck the car.

Brian,
You are correct, that's a HO car, was looking for a GTO here in Aust but couldn't find anything decent, bit the bullet and imported one myself from the source (USA). Couldn't have been happier when they cracked open the shipping container and finally saw my 'baby'. it has got loads of options all PHS documented.
Thanks for your comments mate.

You guys are killing me with all the pics of these great cars, I love it, but it's making me want mine done now, and I have a long way to go still. However, the inspiration couldn't be any better!!!

That's really good news! I have to admit choking back a tear every time I see a '72 T/A Firebird converted over But I like cars going to Australia, you guys feel the same way we yanks do about 'em. Not like sending one to Japan, where they build a room around it and it never runs again...

I used to correspond with John Harris--about twenty years ago. He sent me a fairly detailed account of all the chopping and swapping that has to take place to convert a lh drive car to rh drive. Glad to hear that older American iron doesn't have to go through that process. Do you know John? He was pretty active in the GTO hobby downunder during the '80s. I haven't taked to him in a long time. Last I heard, he was living in Melbourne.

Bigkid, I know what you're saying about the tripower. I am installing a 428/tripower combo in my 67 and leaving the original numbers matching engine on a stand. I can't wait to drive that beast!!

Thanks for the welcome. I've owned the car for 25 years. I probably will start the much needed restoration in the next few weeks.
As far as options go, it has a/c, power steering, front disc brakes and the rally gauge cluster with tach. The car was my daily driver for many years. It went downhill when it was left out during a few winters in NC. Almost embarressd to enclose a picture of what it looked like before I took it back east.
