I am the third owner , the fella I bought it from has had it for 30 ish years, it’s been pretty much parked up and only had occasional use for the last 10 - has some rust issues and needs bushes and brakes, the usual stuff. Image

Hasn’t made it to 200,000 km yet , not bad for 46 years old- is very original, has a aftermarket radio, the original rims and hubcaps are there , it has a cheap tachometer under the dash and one mystery switch- apart from that is stock as a rock 202 3 on the tree - just the way the good lord intended Image

Very nice.

Is the nanna blanket on the front seat needed (heater core shagged, or front seat torn)?

Any plans for a period correct bogan resto (Caprice front clip, 350/350, Armourlites, Kenwood sticker on back window)? :lol:

Cheers,
Harv

Please no Greg!

Westinghouse White. HZ with the RTS and not quite as bad as the HX on the anti-pollution spaghetti-fest. I had a van version. Good on the highway but hard to park.

At this point its fix the rust and touch up the paint, do the brakes - it does stop well and pulls up straight but the pads and rotors are very old , rebush the front end and cal it done.


I DO however, have an LS1 and a conversion kit in the shed :twisted: :twisted: that and a rear mounted turbo or 2 and here we come drag challenge :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
