In 1970 while on R&R in Australia I happened across a storefront in the Kings Cross area of Sydney, large enough for 4 cars. 2 L34 SS Chevelles, an L34 El Camino and a Firebird. All were A/T, buckets and console and had been converted to RH drive. I don't remember numbers, but the prices were shocking, like 50-100% more than U.S. MSRPs.

Out on the street I saw a '69 Camaro pace car with a large sign on the back panel stating "LEFT HAND DRIVE". I was told by a local that was mandatory.

Something that seemed odd to me and totally un-cool was Ford Falcon FOUR DOORS running around with jacked up rears, mags with big rubber and noisey, rumpy exhaust. Four door hot-rods??
