Loking for my old Ford Pop Hotrod

Anyone know where this is , last sold to someone in Dunedin in about 1995. Was the first car built by Balclutha panel beater Jeff Marshall. All steel , roof chop , steel tilt front , 34 ford style dash.
Set up for small block ford. Would like any info on any owners after 1995 and any info on it's current location.

Ive been keeping an eye out for my old Pop 'Lil Jaffa', sold to a guy in Kaiwaka-Te Hana area.

v8mad2, Dec 16, 6:04pm
Yea there must be a lot of old hot rods sitting around in peoples garages that other keen hot rodders would like return back on the road

I've had a search out for my Mk1 Z, but if I posted a pic, the headlight & tail-light police would criticize my design flair.

Used NZHR to track down a past owner of my RS Camaro, but haven't been able to get any further than the fact he sold it to a guy from Waihi.

Might upload some pics and add them.

Sounds like the one my brother owned at one stage in Papakura,I thought it was called "old'jaffa" but could be wrong.It had been in NZ hot rod back in the day.
It gave me 3 degree burns when it over heated at the bay park drags one year.I went to slowly take the radiator cap off,but as soon as i moved it the cap flew off and the steam went up my leather jacket sleeve.That was the lasttime I borrowed that car for the weekend!

Was that mk1 a gold colour with wierd tail lights graftted on from an MG or something!

iman007, Dec 21, 12:15am
what are the pops worth nowadays, i had one as well in the early 70s, started doing it up, then women started appearing in my life, cars vs sex, cars lost out, dam, the hairy magnet!

iman007, Dec 21, 12:42am
will make a nice ride, looks identical to my old one,but the one i owned was all original.

When they say "widened 140 mm" how do they do that!

Section it right up the centre and weld a strip into the gap. You can see the floor pan has been rebuilt so it becomes quite simple to widen the outer shell while there's no floor in it.
