This all steel 27 T bucket was purchased from a car yard in Sydney in 1975 and brought to Canberra in 1976. I was in the Navy then, and I joined the Meteors at this time. The car attended the first Canberra Rod Run on the Australia Day long weekend in 1977. I took the car around the country with me until I sold it to a Melbourne car yard on Sydney Road late in 1978. |
