Bloody hell mate, that sure looks the same. There wouldn't be two like that............would there ??
Disclaimer: I am not an expert.
I was the second owner ,bought it in carnarvon wa 1978 and sold it in perth 1982 to a car yard, so i have no idea what append to it after that. Never seen another one with the port hole windows.
You didnt happen to sell to Independent Motors in Vic Park Jim ???
Comparing the two cars it appears they are different. The port holes are in a different position. They are set higher in yours Jim.
There is another I know if in Bathurst with 3 port holes although it is a HQ. I've seen a few over the years in the Van scene.
Still it is an amazing coincidence being the same colour etc.
Flash back to their stock in 1982. I'll take every car in the yard please.
I reckon there is a good chance they are the same car..... window heights look the same to me if you take into account the differing distances of the photo and the differing angles of the shot.
