Partially restored Dodge Fast Four 1928 for sale

The car is essentially complete. The chassis was sandblasted and professionally painted many years ago, and the bodywork repaired as necessary, generally tidied up and also professionally repainted. All the windows and window and door latches etc, dashboard instrumentation (such as it is) and lights are present and in good reasonable physical order.

The car has been garaged for the last 50 years or so. There has been no work on the engine. All the ancillary car parts I believe are in the interior of the car. All the upholstery and lining obviously needs replacement but the seats are essentially intact. Garaged in Tauranga.

I have owned the car for very many years and I recognise that I am unlikely to complete the restoration project.

Considering its very good garaged condition and it’s authenticity, and the partial restoration already undertaken, the price is $7,500.

To all members who own a Motorhome / Caravan

Are you a member who has a Motorhome or a Caravan and would like to do the occasional trip away with other like minded members . Mostly it would be to places like the Miranda Hot Pools or events. We did a couple of trips to Miranda with 2-3 other members and it was most successful.

So as not to use the Buzz or the Klaxon all the time we are compiling a list of email addresses to those that may be interested in joining in, we would send out a notice about any planned trips to those on the list

Please Email John at johnandjill37@gmail.com if you are interested

HEADS-UP - Please make a note of this event in your busy diaries!

Doug Brown, BOP VCC Organiser of the annual Jazz Festival 'Auto Street Parade' would like to give you the first reminder of the 60th National Jazz Festival that will be happening here in Mount Maunganui on Monday 10 April. Keep a look out for more information in your March, KLAXON on how to be involved in this infamous Street Parade.

Not only is this parade a great deal of fun, but it's an awesome opportunity for you to showcase your pride and joy! For our Club and the VCC, this is a free marketing opportunity to the public, we have to grab every opportunity we can get folks.

Last year our Club had over 50 vehicles participating. Let's aim for 80 plus this time around.

2023 Highland Fling!

Friday 21st April - Registration, Saturday 22nd - Fling Rally

Sunday 23rd (day) - Fling Rally continues and Field Tests

Sunday 23rd (evening) - Prize Giving Dinner

ACCOMODATION -Before departing Taihape last year, most of the entrants made their accommodation bookings for 2023, a very wise move. However, for anyone who is considering joining us this year in April it would pay you to make your bookings now, as Taihape has limited options. Bookings for the Gretna Hotel are being managed by us, and bids for rooms will be taken as soon as we work out what is available. ENTRY FORMS I will send the Entry Forms during the month of February. Cheers, Kaaren
