Re: 75-77 Narrandera Nats & other random pics
I am lead to beleive Tweety Pie started out yellow, then silver with the motorcycle wheels (no front brakes) then in around 1976 it was sold to Geoff Davis from Orange and was painted orange with the murals by Dave Hart (it still has them today). I am unable to piece together what happened after that as it supposedly was confiscated through the Griffith drug trafficing (proceeds of crime) and sold through the auctions to victoria where it had numerous owners. Does anyone know who purchased it after Geoff Davis?
The body will never be changed - it will always remain painted the way it was from the 70s. My family & I are proud to own a car that has so much history and I am disgusted when i see people destroy historic cars such as this. Each to their own I guess but I think its great that some things dont change - it was fantastic at Valla to see so many people knew the car.
I will scan some photos tonight now that I have some time. Reading the old magazines has been fun - hot rodders where young once...ha ha who knew??!! ha ha

Yes, it was one of the 1st ones with the themes on the sides, dave hart and rick pacey emerged from the smoke and really helped this new style of paintwork, i can remember it in about 1972-3 and loved terrys viking horned hat and drinking horn, saw him about 2 years back and he looked the same.shane33 wrote:yea mate was terry cooks car it look good in its day

I spoke to Terry Cook up at Wintersun a few months ago and he still looks the same.
He was driving a Mint Green F100 with Stakebed.
The Alka seltzer 30 Roadster had a body swap with an A tudor back in the 70's
Here is a photo of the Roadster just after it had been unrestored prior to the Bubbles paint.

In case you were wondering who had those two yellow Tweety Pie pics, I was at Valla in the Green Willys Coupe, you passed us on the road home near Liverpool.
I am also known as Matt's dad.

Hi Snooze,
I realised that you were Matts dad after I spoke to at the servo on the way home. Thanks for the pics!!
It amazes me how many people appear in the magazines from the 70s and who went to Valla when it was in Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour who still go now - its great to see they are still in the sport. Im jealous though as it looks like it was a lot of fun but it was before I was born... Oh well, hot rodding is still fun and I just cant wait to get my 32 back on the road.
I have an actual Narrandera book i found in the magazine pile - will post tonight! Want to know where some of these cars have gone??

Hi Rainman
Yes I have a Louvered Bonnet/Hood now, although I still need to get my son to paint it Green.

Burgandy with black guards, running a Mercury flattie. It was owned by Colin Manglesdorf way back then. There in 75, but not 77.
