VERY nice pair of cars. The green one is very like Wayne's (RedRaven on here) in Ireland.

The challengers are both auto trans,and the corvette roadster is a 72,have bought them all in from the usa over the years,is alot of hard work and stress sometimes, to buy,ship and pay all the customs and costs involved,then to get the cars new zealand compliant,have done this 5 times now and is worth it to bring these muscle cars into our small country down here in the south pacific,cheers :s017:
