John,
Again could not get pics on the blog.
I do not think this car is the ex Blackwell sectioned FJ but it could be.
The car I saw in Myrtle Bank I now seem to remember as having a two piece Statesman grille and HQ sedan taillights and was dark green at the time.
The thing about the Starfire was that it was a radical section job and the bonnet was very flat along the lines of a Hillman Minx bonnet or similar very like the racing car you posted.
As commented in last post I found this car on a site identifying it as being at Wanneroo and I have attached another pic from the same era at a car show also in Perth and showing the car to be sponsored by Wanneroo Brakes.
If this was in 69 then it could have moved to SA and be the car I saw in late 70's.
Pics are a second shot of the WA sectioned FJ racer
