there was a blue & silve FC sedan for sale in Millicent in SA, sweet looking ride!!!! advertised for 44K. Full rego running 350 SBC
Lucky i ran out of time last weekend in Adelaide!!! A drive out of town may have been expensive, but worth it.
cheers

thanks for the heads up, i have relatives in adelaide out looking too, missed that yellow FC for 25k on ebay alil while back, but deep down want an FB/EK, have the cars to do it, just not the mechanical knowledge or time to accomplish the task easily, will keep going with one build (paying other people) and if one of the 5 people coming to see the flashline this weekend dont take it home maybe I'll pull the trim off and sell off the rest, be a shame to part out a 36000 mile car though.....see how it goes, maybe it'll work out, it has a picnic shelf too......(can hear the resto guys hearts skipping a beat) :shifty:

Mate if deep down you really want an FB/EK then wait,something will turn up. :wink:

No point spending good money on something you don't really want.

I purchased my V8 ute from Qld two years ago, Built by Gasoline Alley.
I am a plumber, so not that great with cars!! It was far better for me to purchase a completed project. I would buy another completed project any day over building it myself. But thats just me.
Good luck with the search, they are out there.
:D :D

still up in the air on what to do with her, she's still down in adelaide, should be heading down in a few months and will take some pics, my father says it has some extra tags, believes it to be a test vehicle, the 11thou were put on her by my pa and two others whilst it was the property of GMH, then set up to store ever since, a few more there too, another nice one i can remember by deadbeat cousin turned into a hottie :thumbsdown: dont get me wrong, I love modified cars but to do it to such a beautiful car is just plain stupid..... :esad:
