    Lost MSO

    Thanks dr914, yes you are nearly spot on with your comments. Finding someone with common sense at DMV is really the key who understands what you are saying. The only slight glitch is the registration paperwork here in NZ actually states "this is not proof of ownership". Even though the word...

    Lost MSO

    BlackICE, yes how's things? Yep this is my 2nd GT, first one went up in toast. The engine actually got rebuilt and is in a Ford GT racing in north island, had the Stillen differential which is working out well for him. I'm selling my 2nd one, I'll miss it.

    Lost MSO

    Thanks guys, Right, in NZ there is no firm that keeps track of car ownership. If your paperwork burns you go to a tribunal with all you have and convince the "judge" you own the car if it becomes an issue. Basically you go to court. I don't need NZ proof of ownership, I need USA proof of...

    Lost MSO

    Right, I'm not sure how you get a Title without either an original MSO or Bill of Sale?? Documents get destroyed all the time, there has to be a way to get new "original" copies. I doubt I'm breaking new ground.

    Lost MSO

    Hi Tony, The registration in NZ is just that, registration, has nothing to do with ownership. Understand the void. Car is in California and now I need proof of ownership. The MSO was destroyed along with the Bill of Sale, both originals. I do have copies of both. NZ "DMV" completely...

    Lost MSO

    Thanks guys, I live in New Zealand, the car was never registered in California. The MSO is destroyed. There is no "Title" in New Zealand. The only MSO has been thrown away. I need a replacement MSO due to the original being destroyed. I have a copy of it but the copy shows "VOID" in light...

    Lost MSO

    Hello, Long story short. Lost MSO, anyone know how to get a duplicate? Car registered from new only in New Zealand so I never got a California Title. The DMV equivalent here in NZ threw the original MSO away without letting me know. The dealer in USA can't seem to get me a new MSO. Any help...

    Pretty nice garage aye?!

    Yes, it's a fully functional 50's dinner with 100% restored original working equipment (re-wired for 240 volts) or high quality replica. You could re-tape a "Happy Days" episode there. Up stairs of course is your theater room, pool table room, etc, etc, etc. Top notch all the way. Makes our...

    Hi Ed, good down here in NZ trying to dodge all the earthquakes! I do miss the norcal events but I have been very busy with my GT down here, rally, motorsports events, car shows, etc. Been doing some kart racing with no luck just blowing up my motors. There is no race fuel here, just avgas...

    1/8 mile sprint in New Zealand

    Click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYSBt_4gvOQ Set resolution to HD 1080p and view full screen for best affect. Time at 8.5 sec but no tire warm up and road surface very slippery. Out of 25 came in 4th although the 3 ahead of me were full-on dragster setup.

    Hi Bill and Neil, yep back home from Targa and SEMA. Good couple of weeks. No issues during Targa. Not full race but set up with some Stillen devices that worked well during the rally. 3.9 diff, brakes, exhaust (which was a big hit!), bottoming out pads (came into play many times), prefect...
