Cobra replicas in Australia

[BMK]

This may sound extreme but..



I build up a 'B' model 1932 Ford replica. Bodies are available in steel in the States.

I run a repro. chassis using pressed rails and the side valve 8 cylinder engine and gearbox. Everything else is as original reproduction and purchased from Drake, Thompson and Flood etc.

I take it into the registration office. No engineers report only a roadworthy in my hand and proof of purchase of the body.

It is registered as a 1932 Ford roadster.

Can it happen.



Well it can and has happened in Victoria at Vicroads this year..

Makes you wonder...

I sold my 1937 Ford convert. to the glass guy at Duece Customs a few years back. He took it in with a roadworthy, no questions asked and registered it in his name.

Just luck..

Then there is a 1956 Chev with a jet engine driving around..
