| Bought and imported to US in 2003 through MadMaxCars intending to make a Mad Max Interceptor. Once I found out it was a JGS I decided to keep it original. Took it to the Ford Centennial in 2003, met John Goss, and he not only signed it, but rode in it to the Australian Ford Falcon Club dinner. It is rough but restorable. | |||

| We purchased the car from Western Australia and shipped it back to NSW. It was running a Holley 650 and running rough, we sourced and rebuilt an Thermoquad, installed new shocks, brakes, rebuilt the diff and tidied the body. Overall as of now (nov 2022) its a very nice rust free Goss and very original. | |||
