Yeah I understand you Goat, the when does a sandman not become a sandman thing can go on forever. People love to see the old car's being driven around, and that is all that matter's. We are starting to see more old car's up this way now, holdens.. fords.. valiant's, and its good to see them on the road.

Matching number's is not a big deal to me, as it tell's you not a lot about the vehicle. My brother in law is a panel beater who did his apprenticeship in the early 60's, his work is perfect and he has probably forgotten more than most of them know. He bought an XW GT Falcon off a friend who bought it new.

This car had been in an accident when only a few month's old, and was repaired, but not by his company. He bought the car when it six year's old and repaired it correctly. When it was finished the turret was the only original panel on the car. The motor gearbox and diff were all there, as was the interior, all else was replaced. That is a matching number's car.

Cheers.
