THE COBAR KID
This 36 Coupe was found at the Cobar tip in 1978 by Bill Jansen and brought home. After some rust repairs were done the car was sold to Jim Newman who commissioned Peter Day to do the bodywork. After a 4 year buildup the car was on the road and was driven to many long distance rod runs. It was eventually sold to a rodder in Albury where it is still on the road.
