Had to sell my 1984 Gibson Les Paul Custom a few years back - needed the money, almost cried when it went.

This is the guitar I went looking for when I bought the Gibson back in 1985 - a triple pick-up "Black Beauty". The Gibson model is too damned expensive, so I got a budget-priced Epiphone instead.

Looks the part, and plays as well as I remember my Gibson playing...

Yummy - even more so when I add a Bigsby!

First saw this one a few years ago, and only managed a hurried snap... Saw it again about an hour ago, and just happened to have my camera with me! Strangely enough, I was just talking about it yesterday arvo with a new friend (another car nut!), and next day - here it is!

I've always had a major soft spot for the VH Valiant, and this one's just gorgeous - a dead stock, base model Ranger. Owned by an elderly gent, and quite possible a former taxi or Government fleet vehicle - rego number dates from around early '75, by which time Chrysler were well into the VJ series, so it was re-registered (and may have been resprayed at the same time)...

But, you almost never see these on the road nowadays, and this one's in really great shape - a minor ding on the rear bumper, no rust that I could see...

The styling's still (to me, at least!) very attractive. Wish I had the money to put in an offer on it...

Apart from the "Ranger" badge added to the boot-lid, stock as a rock!
