Old Purple

I just got through watching the Slim Dusty movie again..
Does His 1971 Ford Fairlane 500 "Old Purple" still exist???? Restored???

Brocky45 I Think its in the Slim Dusty museum in Kempsey , thats if the museum has been finished

Brocky, Swanny's correct, it's in the Kempsey Museum opened in 2015.
Slim lived in Carlingford, Sydney for many years around the corner from where I grew up, regularly spotted it.

Strangely enough the Museum is in Kempsey NSW.

About 80k's North of Port Macquarie or 4 hour drive north of Sydney.

Zuffin, Thank you.. We may arrive In Brisbane and the Gattin museum???

Swishy.. Thank you for the invite.. Planning takes time and right now we are looking at 2019.. especially since Ron had also made the same shotgun / share the drive offer.

What I started out thinking about a trip for the wife and I is now starting to look like it might end up being a tour trip coordinated by the same couple who put the 2015 Alice Springs tour together.
