Hey Geezer, I bought the ute in Adelaide- It was Retained by Chrysler originally and not actually registered until 1986 when it was bought by one of the retiring mechanics who later passed it on to his brother who i believe was an ex Chrysler pattern maker, at the time living in Melbourne. It was used by a race team carting tyres etc around Calder park and later running the occasional pattern to the foundry, and a lot of sitting around in a garage so it seems. It's showing 46000k's on the clock, doesn't have a number in front but i don't think it's been around the clock more than once, there is very little rust around it- none in the doors, sills or floor, just bits and pieces of surface stuff. I bought it from a guy in Adelaide- cut a deal over the phone and flew to Adelaide, drove it back. I think there was only one other owner between the 'son' and the guy i bought it from. There's a photo online of it with plates "sly 079" and white walls. Its a good thing it didn't end up in the hands of a mini trucker like to only other Chrysler D50 sport i've seen- a red one that has been air bagged. At any rate, i think it looks just great in my garage!
I'm struggling to find photos of my blue ute in it's glory- there is one on my website tho.
