Just an update to this.
In Geelong they have reopened a museum which houses a few of the old cars/display items from the old Ford Discovery Centre.
Just went in there today, and they have the EB GT, a cut away of the AU falcon, the exercise bike when you pedal it turns an engine which you can see a cutaway of the insides of it.
Also at the moment have the last FGX Falcon made, a white BA GT (with 5speed manual), a miami engine on a stand, a barra turbo engine on a stand with the rocker cover partially cut so you can see inside, a prototype sequential gearbox that was going to go into the BA GT and a lot more...
GEELONG MUSEUM OF MOTORING + INDUSTRY
and their Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/geelongmuseumofmotoring/
Opens on Thursdays through to Monday 10am to 4pm. I've been told it'll be open for the next 3 years at least and see what happens after that.
If you're in Geelong - check it out. Its behind Western Heights Secondary College, Building 5, on 23 Waymouth St, Hamlyn Heights.
Run by volunteers so please try support this good thing!
