The late Jim Corstorphan's beloved Diamond T is now in son, Steve's care and has been joined by a second of the famous marque.
“This one's 1958 630 Diamond T,” said Steve. “We imported it from America in 2008, and it’s been an 18-year project to put it on the road which occurred 5 weeks ago. Yarra Glen is its first outing."
The Diamond has had the full works. From bogey drive back to a single axle, converted to RHD, new interior, wiring, fuel tanks and air lines. Repaired grill bars and re-chroming – the list goes on and on.
The original (big donk) 450 petrol motor has been replaced by a CAT V8 diesel. “The crankshaft was cracked. The block was cracked. The head was cracked….”
Steve sure knows how to pick ‘em! The final result though is a stunning tribute to Jim.
