Default (Vic.) The Ford Number Plate?
Driving in the Ferntree Gully today there was this hot rod that pulled up at the lights, it had the number plate FORD, it was a vic plate, quickly took a picture but didn't get the number plate although you can see the little hot rod it was on.

Now I know Hot Rods have show plates but this one didn't have any other "normal" or "club" number plate displayed.

Is this the actual vehicle with the genuine Ford Number Plate (Vic.) or does some one know what vehicle has this plate on it.

Also what do you think it would be worth?

Anyway if it is the genuine article that's a big OH MY GOD in my books.

Yeah thats the one...........IMO big WOW factor and yeah you are right Boss 260 Ute if you had it you wouldn't sell it.

I bet he or she would of thought they were slighlty ripped off when the new vic number plates came in where you can put numbers in the middle of the letters F0(Zero)RD?

The guy is a spray painter from Dandenong, he uses the plates on a few of his cars, FE LTD, XR or XT Falcon.
Would be worth an absolute fortune id think..

These plates are actually owned by a guy at my work, I know what he paid for them but am not going to disclose it. I do know he has been offered some fairly decent money for them but is not going to part with them any time soon. The Rod they are on is also a full steel body, with an original set of Halibrand wheels, he has a steel body'd 32 coupe which he is going to build as well.
Some people have all the luck.

Cheers.
