What do you like best about your vert?

**HASTINGSRJ** · 06-22-2006, 01:59 AM

I would have to that what I love best about my vert is that there really isnt a lot of them around here, as far as F bodies go. That and crusing around with the top down. I get a lot of looks with the rollcage in there as well, and a lot of compliments

Thats easy, I have the only one in the country....Just in the middle of converting a 2002 Hawk to right hand drive and can't wait to get it on the road.. summer approaches Downunder.

OK Lets try again!!
The pics are current to last weekend and show the car gutted, the new steering position and pedals. We moved the floor back about 60mm to get extra leg room on the new drivers side.The tailights are modified to allow an amber indicator light same shape as the reverse light. Lots of work not for me but a mate who has done this for years, its my fourth Fbody and hopefully should be ready by summer....Thanks for the interest. Rgds Ken

How did you find that out? Its a fairly big country.. run the DMV or something? Congrats none-the-less... considered getting one when I spent the 2 days deciding what I wanted... but found the T-top first.

**Aussie connection** · 07-24-2006, 12:25 AM

Yeah, Its not that hard,you have to have a "compliance" plate to convert the car from left to right so its fairly easy to find out thru govt sources whos got one and who doesnt. Answer is no-one has one at the moment but thats what we are heading towards with this car. Once it is approved you can bring in others of the same year model.I know there is a collectors edition T Top here from some one who had lived in the States but definately no Hawk 2002 and no convertibles.

Doing 120mph with the top down!

**gilbet41** · 07-28-2006, 07:57 PM

I love them, but somehow convince myself that I need a more practicle car. I have owned 3 of them, just bought an 01 SS triple white on Wed. Hope to keep this one awhile.

Damn Todd your as bad as me when it comes to switching cars. See you had my twin car. That SOM vert was a rare one as the LE. I hope you sold them outright and didnt trade em.

The SOM vert I only sold because the insurance tripled on me when I moved to FL form WI.

The 35th LE only had 4k miles on it and my wife and I used the money to buy into her company.(good investment) A dealer from CT bought it from us on e-bay. Now he want's $5k more than I sold it to him for it.

Hoping to keep the white 01.
