    $40k plus and rising. But a special case as it's limited production plus the race history etc etc etc...

    A 4 door Torana six is simply scrap value....

    ...my younger bro had a Ford 'thingy , thingy', LTD back in the early eighties...too much money, not enough sense...he did a Pork Pie type of trip North with some mates...got himself in the shit big time... no elaboration necessary, but the car got banged up, they all got locked up, loss of liberty, car got sold cheap to cover 'expenses'...he showed me an article about his restored car a few years back...just been sold for 200K+...makes my kicking myself about getting rid of a bike or two I should have kept seem quite trivial...

    it's not that they are rarely safe in other traffic now, leave a gap in front for your braking room and some prick will fill it, one of my bikes turned 100 years old yesterday, if i want to ride it i have to take it into the country, or a quieter town, reality...

    Have been having some fun with that, teaching the boy how to drive his grandad's car....he's learning how to plan ahead when you have to do everything manually....

    I dont think stuff like pedal layouts and so forth were standardised until the 1930's? Hand throttle and clutch and steering lever FTW
