I thought that as well, but since I bought mine in '05 I'd guess I've seen a fair few, about 20 at a guess just that I've seen in Auckland and featured in a few mags. I'm running a 454 with a turbo 400, but she's still a work in progress. Where in NZ are you from?.

We own one here in Auckland! And I've got the 84 Scottsdale that I sent a photo through of last week.
