<h1 id="h-original-1956-ford-fairlane-v8-a-true-american-time-capsule" class="wp-block-heading">Original 1956 Ford Fairlane V8 – A True American Time Capsule</h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This remarkably original <strong>1956 Ford Fairlane</strong> is a genuine survivor, powered by a <strong>292 Y-block V8</strong> and still retaining much of its original paint, interior, chrome and mechanical equipment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aussie Garage caught up with Jason at <strong>Cleveland Spares in Melbourne</strong> to check out this huge left-hand-drive American classic.</p>



<h2 id="h-a-remarkably-original-ford-fairlane" class="wp-block-heading">A Remarkably Original Ford Fairlane</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Originally purchased in <strong>Colorado, USA</strong>, the Fairlane has been carefully preserved rather than completely restored.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Under the bonnet is the original-style <strong>292 Y-block V8</strong>, complete with an oil-bath air cleaner, generator, points ignition and Thunderbird engine badging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Only essential maintenance has been carried out over the years, including a replacement radiator, thermo fan, exhaust, front shock absorbers and carpet.</p>



<h2 id="h-the-original-am-radio-still-works" class="wp-block-heading">The Original AM Radio Still Works</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the coolest features is the <strong>factory valve-operated AM radio</strong>, which incredibly still works.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inside, you&#8217;ll also find the original-style dashboard, steering wheel and trim, while outside the huge chrome bumpers, hubcaps and two-tone styling capture everything we love about <strong>1950s American cars</strong>.</p>



<h3 id="h-fairlane-highlights" class="wp-block-heading">Fairlane Highlights</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">292 Y-block V8</li>



<li class="">Original two-tone styling</li>



<li class="">Original interior and dashboard</li>



<li class="">Working factory AM radio</li>



<li class="">Four-wheel drum brakes</li>



<li class="">Thunderbird engine badging</li>



<li class="">Original-style Ford hubcaps</li>



<li class="">Extensive ownership and service history</li>



<li class="">Carefully preserved and regularly driven</li>
</ul>



<h2 id="h-watch-on-aussie-garage" class="wp-block-heading">Watch on Aussie Garage</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Check out the full Aussie Garage episode as we explore this incredible <strong>1956 Ford Fairlane V8</strong> at Cleveland Spares in Melbourne.</p>

<h1 id="h-bunbury-geographe-motor-museum-classic-cars-amp-motorsport-history" class="wp-block-heading">Bunbury Geographe Motor Museum – Classic Cars &amp; Motorsport History</h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you love <strong>classic cars, Australian motorsport and motoring history</strong>, the <strong>Bunbury Geographe Motor Museum in Western Australia</strong> is well worth a visit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Located around 90 minutes south of Perth, the museum features an impressive collection of <strong>genuine race cars, Holden and Ford classics, American muscle cars, vintage motorcycles and motoring memorabilia</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aussie Garage headed south to take a closer look.</p>



<h2 id="h-genuine-holden-race-cars" class="wp-block-heading">Genuine Holden Race Cars</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some of the biggest highlights are the museum&#8217;s genuine Australian race cars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Among them is a <strong>Holden Torana A9X race car</strong>, one of the most iconic models from Australia&#8217;s touring car era.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s also the tough <strong>Craven Mild HJ Monaro race car</strong> and an incredible <strong>Bond and Brock ex-race Torana</strong>, connecting the collection with two legendary names in Australian motorsport – Colin Bond and Peter Brock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Holden and motorsport fans, these cars alone make the museum worth exploring.</p>



<h2 id="h-classic-holden-ford-and-chevrolet" class="wp-block-heading">Classic Holden, Ford and Chevrolet</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The collection goes well beyond race cars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You&#8217;ll find Australian classics including an <strong>HK Monaro GTS and XR Falcon GT</strong>, along with classic Ford Escorts and plenty of other interesting vehicles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">American muscle is also represented by a wild <strong>supercharged 1969 Chevrolet Corvette</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another unusual piece of WA motoring history is the <strong>West Australian Police Tango 3 drag car</strong>.</p>



<h2 id="h-more-than-100-years-of-motoring-history" class="wp-block-heading">More Than 100 Years of Motoring History</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the most interesting things about the Bunbury Geographe Motor Museum is the variety.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The collection stretches from a remarkable <strong>1914 Talbot</strong> through to much more recent Australian-built cars such as the <strong>Mitsubishi 380</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also <strong>classic trucks and vintage motorcycles</strong>, giving visitors plenty to see beyond the traditional Holden and Ford favourites.</p>



<h2 id="h-motoring-memorabilia-and-workshop-displays" class="wp-block-heading">Motoring Memorabilia and Workshop Displays</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s not just about the cars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the museum you&#8217;ll discover <strong>vintage automotive signs, model cars, motoring memorabilia and historic workshop displays</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These smaller exhibits help tell the story of how Australian motoring, workshops and automotive culture have changed over the decades.</p>



<h2 id="h-a-great-car-museum-near-perth" class="wp-block-heading">A Great Car Museum Near Perth</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At around <strong>90 minutes south of Perth</strong>, the Bunbury Geographe Motor Museum makes an excellent destination for a day trip or as part of a visit to Western Australia&#8217;s South West.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether you&#8217;re into <strong>Holden Toranas, Monaros, Falcon GTs, classic Fords, American muscle, motorcycles or Australian motorsport history</strong>, there&#8217;s plenty here to explore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For us, the genuine race cars are some of the biggest highlights – particularly the <strong>A9X Torana, Craven Mild Monaro and Bond and Brock Torana</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re a motoring enthusiast heading through Bunbury, put this one on the list.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Which car or motorcycle would you take home? Let us know in the comments!</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet the “Poo Brown Taxi”, an incredibly original 1974 Ford ZG Fairlane Custom with a Silver Top taxi sign, vintage taxi meter and plenty of personality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite its appearance, this Fairlane was never actually used as a taxi.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Owner Bob created the theme after friends jokingly nicknamed the car the “Poo Brown Taxi” at local car shows. He embraced the name and added period-style taxi accessories that perfectly suit the car.</p>



<h2 id="h-original-ford-250-six-cylinder" class="wp-block-heading">Original Ford 250 Six-Cylinder</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Under the bonnet is the original Ford 250 inline six-cylinder engine, backed by a BorgWarner automatic transmission.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many six-cylinder Fairlanes were later converted to V8 power, but Bob’s car remains remarkably close to its original factory specification.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It still features its column-shift automatic, power steering, wraparound dashboard and spacious luxury-car interior.</p>



<h2 id="h-a-virtually-rust-free-zg-fairlane" class="wp-block-heading">A Virtually Rust-Free ZG Fairlane</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Fairlane was originally sold in South Australia and spent much of its life around the dry Renmark region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This helped protect the body from rust, leaving the car in impressive condition more than 50 years later.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The original interior has also survived well, giving the Fairlane the feel of a genuine 1970s Australian luxury car.</p>



<h2 id="h-the-story-behind-the-taxi-theme" class="wp-block-heading">The Story Behind the Taxi Theme</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The taxi accessories are not just for show.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bob previously worked as a taxi driver and shares several stories from his time behind the wheel. He also explains the sentimental items kept inside the Fairlane and why the car means so much to him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The result is more than just an original classic Ford. It is a vehicle filled with memories, humour and personality.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Six-Cylinder or V8?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The big question is whether the Fairlane should stay with its original six-cylinder engine or receive a V8 conversion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A V8 would provide more power and sound, but keeping the Ford 250 helps preserve what makes this Fairlane so unusual.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Original six-cylinder ZG Fairlanes are becoming difficult to find, especially in such complete condition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Would you keep it original or install a V8?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let us know in the comments.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Watch the Full Aussie Garage Feature</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the full Aussie Garage episode, Bob shows us around the 1974 Ford ZG Fairlane, including its original engine, interior, taxi sign and vintage meter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A huge thank you to Bob for sharing another incredible vehicle and its story with us.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Show Us Your Ride</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you own a vintage, classic or muscle car with an interesting story?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you live in Western Australia, Aussie Garage would love to hear from you and may be able to feature your vehicle in an upcoming episode.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not in WA? Send us your details anyway, as we are collecting contacts for future interstate filming trips.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode of Aussie Garage, we return to Cleveland Spares in Victoria to catch up with Cass and Rob and check out two very special builds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first is a Mk2 Ford Cortina sleeper with a Cleveland V8. The plan is to remove the drag-car look, fit standard-style wheels, add a flat bonnet and make it look like a basic old Cortina.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But underneath, it will be hiding the Cleveland V8 that was previously used in Rob’s XC Falcon. From the outside it will look grandpa-spec, but once it starts, everyone will know it is something very different.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also take a look at an incredible steel-bodied 1923 Ford T-Bucket.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Originally built in Victoria in 1968, this hot rod was pulled apart and stored away for decades. It has now been pieced back together using most of its original parts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The car still features its Ford Y-block engine, three-speed Top Loader, nine-inch diff and chrome suspension components.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is a great example of Australian hot rod history being saved and brought back to life.</p>



<h2 id="h-cleveland-spares-keeps-classic-fords-alive" class="wp-block-heading">Cleveland Spares Keeps Classic Fords Alive</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cass and Rob also share updates from Cleveland Spares, including their growing parts range, local cruise nights and classic Ford projects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cleveland Spares is more than just a parts supplier. It is a place that supports classic Ford owners, restorers and enthusiasts who want to keep these old cars on the road.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A massive thank you to Cass, Rob and everyone who brought their vehicles along for another great day of filming.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re looking for something truly unique, this heavily modified 1948 Ford Anglia Panel Van could be your next project or weekend cruiser.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Featured on Aussie Garage, this incredible custom build combines classic British styling with modern engineering and a serious performance punch thanks to a rare 2.9L 24-valve Cosworth V6 producing around 300 horsepower.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Located in Perth, Western Australia, the vehicle is available for <strong>$20,000</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4de.png" alt="📞" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <strong>For enquiries, contact Ross directly on 0428 822 199.</strong></p>



<h2 id="h-a-classic-ford-with-a-serious-twist" class="wp-block-heading">A Classic Ford with a Serious Twist</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Ford Anglia originally left the factory with a tiny 10-horsepower side-valve four-cylinder engine. Fast forward to today and this unique panel van now packs a powerful Cosworth V6 that completely transforms the driving experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ross has owned the vehicle for more than 30 years and has spent countless hours refining and modifying the build. What started life with Toyota Corolla running gear has evolved into a fully engineered custom street machine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The only original component remaining is essentially the body itself, with almost every aspect of the drivetrain, suspension, steering and braking systems upgraded or custom fabricated.</p>



<h2 id="h-rare-cosworth-power" class="wp-block-heading">Rare Cosworth Power</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Under the bonnet sits a rare 2.9-litre quad-cam 24-valve Cosworth V6. These engines were never a common sight in Australian custom cars and are particularly unusual to find in a compact vehicle like an Anglia.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With approximately 300 horsepower pushing an 800kg vehicle, performance is more than enough to surprise modern cars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Highlights include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>2.9L Cosworth Quad Cam V6</li>



<li>Approximately 300HP</li>



<li>Aftermarket ECU</li>



<li>Custom radiator setup</li>



<li>Custom exhaust system</li>



<li>Ford Type 9 five-speed manual gearbox</li>



<li>Engine sourced through Race Tune</li>



<li>Professionally engineered conversion</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ross jokes that the lightweight Anglia can easily break traction and becomes a handful in wet conditions.</p>



<h2 id="h-professionally-built-suspension-and-chassis" class="wp-block-heading">Professionally Built Suspension and Chassis</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This isn&#8217;t simply an engine swap. The vehicle features significant engineering upgrades throughout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Features include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Independent front suspension</li>



<li>Rack and pinion steering</li>



<li>Bilstein coilovers</li>



<li>Narrowed Jaguar rear end</li>



<li>Four-wheel coilover setup</li>



<li>Custom front flip nose section</li>



<li>Fully engineered modifications</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of the fabrication and suspension upgrades were completed by well-known Western Australian hot rod specialists, helping create a unique and capable package.</p>



<h2 id="h-custom-interior" class="wp-block-heading">Custom Interior</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inside you&#8217;ll find a blend of vintage styling and modern convenience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Features include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Original-style Bakelite dashboard</li>



<li>GPS speedometer</li>



<li>Custom audio system</li>



<li>Reverse camera system</li>



<li>Rear vision camera</li>



<li>Custom roof console</li>



<li>SAS bucket seats</li>



<li>Custom denim interior work underway</li>



<li>Rat Fink themed touches throughout</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The van was originally used by Ross during his years as a mobile DJ, explaining the impressive sound system and spacious rear cargo area.</p>

<h2 id="h-honest-description" class="wp-block-heading">Honest Description</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The vehicle is currently unlicensed and has been in storage for some time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ross advises the next owner should budget for:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Gasket work</li>



<li>Clutch work</li>



<li>General recommissioning</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the car is largely complete and shouldn&#8217;t require a major amount of work to get back on the road and through licensing requirements.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For someone looking for a unique hot rod, custom cruiser or show vehicle, this Anglia offers a huge amount of engineering and fabrication work already completed.</p>



<h2 id="h-a-car-with-a-story" class="wp-block-heading">A Car with a Story</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond the modifications, this Anglia carries an incredible story. Ross has battled cancer multiple times over the years but has remained passionate about cars and hot rodding throughout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The vehicle reflects decades of ownership, craftsmanship and determination, making it much more than just another custom build.</p>
