The plan was for the two Sweeney brothers, Tim and Neil, to build a GT Falcon Replica together. But on April 24th 2017 Neil's life changed forever. He stopped breathing and was rushed to hospital where a CT scan and MRI revealed a significant brain tumour. He has since undergone 3 brain surgeries, over 30 radiation treatments and ongoing monthly chemotherapy. Its been tough on the whole Sweeney family; Neil, Tim and Neil's wife Shelley and two children Cayla (12) and Blake (10). Unfortunately in January this year another MRI showed a new tumour. This tumour is a GBM, the most aggressive and worst brain cancer you can be diagnosed with. There is no cure, only ongoing treatment. Neil's new treatment began on the 15th March. This treatment is very expensive - the three-weekly infusion costs $5000 per infusion and will need to continue for at least 2 years.
AMCS would like to support this amazing family and hopes there is someone keen to take on this XY GT Replica Project right now. The monies will go straight to assist in Neil's treatment. The family have also set up a Go Fund Me account. If you would like to help out a fellow muscle car enthusiast all contributions are greatly appreciated. Details are below.
If you are interested in a XY GT Replica project, the car is a 1971 XY Falcon 500 running a 302 Cleveland V8, 4 speed top loader and 9" diff. It has a genuine XW GT dash, console, XW rear seat and is a good solid rust free body. Ipswich, QLD car. (Ref. 4932)
