HISTORY:
Willie Jnr bought this Dart from Mr. J. Roll,
in Pinelands in June 1995 via Ron of Car & Truck Centre
Maitland. It was first registered in 1964. The present
registration number CFM57164 replaces CA73263. The car is red,
with black trim and a black hardtop with a red edge. The car
underwent a major rebuild, started off by expert Sydney
Ehrenreich a veteran who was employed at GSM Factory for as long
as it was in existence. Sydney removed the old chassis and had
the corroded main tubes replaced before replacing the chassis
and getting the car back on its wheels again. Clarry Taylor took
up the challenge to complete the rebuild of the rolling chassis.
This included modifications of the wheel arches and rear light
clusters to restore it back to original and a full re-spray
(light yellow with black trim) of the car and canopy. After
getting the “look” right, he systematically tackled the
mechanical/electrical/instrumentation problems which transformed
the car from an unreliable rattlebox to an absolute pleasure to
drive and look at. The only outstanding issues at the moment are
to complete the refurbishment of the side screens and sorting
out a small gear selection problem.
