    Hi
    First post. I live in New Zealand and own a restored 1970 Calypso Coral Boss 429 KK2457.

    Cheers

    Welcome!
    Be sure to post pix for all to see.
    Did you buy it restored, or do it yourself?
    Where did you find it?

    Mike

    Hi Mike

    I have owned the car for 3.5 years. I spent the first 2 years restoring it to concours. This car was imported to NZ about 12 years ago. It was the only Boss 429 with the Salt Lake City DSO. It had been sitting since 1974!

    Beautiful car and in one of the best colours.

    Regards

    yes - it's a funny ol' market "downunder" isn't it.... - i attemped to sell my '66 GT350 a while back and had the same result, but reading the thread and replys on this forum about '66's im pretty glad it didn't sell and is still in the shed for us to enjoy this summer..... let us know what you replace it with - hey
    .....you should also list the you-tube interview you did on this site as well -
    good luck with the sale - cheers mate.:thumbsup:

    YouTube video attached :)

    Please note: This video needed up just being "a bit of fun". When I said I was going to send it to a couple of friends, she said NO F#%&%N WAY! So I put in on YouTube instead:guns:

    Once again, its just a bit of fun....a few errors, but she did well

    Beautiful Car, love the color, Ford should bring back that color for the Mustang, as well as Graber Green.
