FB special wagon wanted

Post by giddyupmark »

Hi to all,
I am after an FB special wagon.
I would like one in original condition not modified ( sorry )
More after one that does not require much work.
I am located in sydney but happy with any location for a good wagon.

Thanks Mark.

I have a FB special wagon finished in its original Belmont Green two tone. I bought this car for my girlfriend and spend a year fixing it up to be her daily driver, then we had a baby and she has shown little interest in it since.

We bought it from Griffith, paint was baked when we got it but it was a nice dry car with minimal rust.

Paint is fresh, and all original colors.

Non original grey motor from an EJ

New VRS set
New ignition leads
New brake hoses
New clutch hose
Reco brake master
Reco clutch master
Reco clutch slave
Reco brake wheel cylinders
New handbrake cable
New tank sender
All electrics/gauges etc work

It’s a nice original car except for the VN 2 speed electric wiper conversion using a switch that takes the original wiper knob and H4 Halogen headlights. Both highly practical conversions that don’t detract from the character of the car.

All the chrome trim is there

Good tyres

Most things that have not been reco’d have been pulled apart, cleaned and put back together.

Old door trims were put on new cards, but they are not perfect, rooflining is not perfect, front seat does not match the back seat.

The best bit? Brand new rubbers for all screens and doors! This costs a bomb as you may know.

I have tonnes of receipts.

I had planned to put it on club rego this weekend and take it to the all holden day to sell.

Sling us your email and ill send some pics, im sure I have some!

Price is 10500, which is a lot less than it owes me.

It has special badges on the guards, i just hadn't put them on when the first was taken :)

I should add its not currently registered, plates were from when we moved :lol: , i was going to put it on club rego, but since its not transferable there's probably not much point.

Hi Gareth, can you please put a pick up of the ID plate? That is a very rare colour scheme to find today!

Thanks,

Steve
