Tiaan plsssssss keep it a leftie.. i may be wrong here but now you mention the arches i think this car belonged to a old club member, he still has loads of spares, let me know if you want to contact him, as he is selling all his spares and maybe some info on the cars history. Boss.mmmmmm

PS: burt if this car ever goes missing.... it wasnt me :)

Hi Tiaan. Here's a couple of pics from Laguna Seca that show the "orange" you're looking for. Parnelli Jones car from Bud Moore Racing. Have also posted a You Tube movie for you. See:

Any specific reason? LHD doesnt work well in SA from regulatory point of view and from a practical point of view, overtaking for one being a bit of an issue but I guess it is more orginal. If it was me and I wanted to use the car a lot a well executed RHD conversion wouldnt be a bad idea. :D

Wil if you have to do the build may as well do it RHD. Takes stress out of it. Also unlike WC in KZN and Gauteng you go through a toll gate just to go fill up with juice. It's a mission to drive on your own. I have to take my missus or lighty with just to go to gym on a Sat morning or can't get in or out parking lot!

Got one just like that in the workshop right now - its my own car - very clean - done as a Boss clone with 302C and the stripes etc and in red.
Right hand drive conversion nearly finished - dash and instrument binnacle moulded - it really is looking good.
Btw Tiaan we can supply you brand new Dynacorn doors etc - they do 70 Mustang.

If youre gonna make it RHD, you might as well drop a Lexus V8 in it, its about the same thing.

Overtaking on backroad in a LHD vs RHD is much more difficult....
