OK guys, asking for your help here so that I don't end up catching a cold

There is an FB sedan currently for sale on Carpoint with a pretty hefty price tag ($35,000).

Does anybody know the history of this car? It isn't on Steve's spread-sheet yet, so seems like it might be flying a little under the radar.

Owner claims never (never - ever) had any resto work, which is a big call.

Would appreciate it if we could please not get into the whole 'far too much money for a stinky old Holden even if it is mint & original' discussion

Rego number is BI 25 FI

This cars been advertised before. Didnt sell.
Photos taken at Kogarah bay or Cars park by the look of it.

Was that long ago? It's been up for a while now this time.

Hi Alan, The owner (Glen) is a nice guy.

I have sixty pics of this car when it was for sale a few years back. Just need to find them.

Call me if you want to know more.

Steve

Thanks Steve,

Would be awesome if you could send the pics when you find them. Spoke to Glenn just now, like you said, nice guy and seems genuine.

Great Musician too!
Will have a look for you. They maybe on my old computer or on my Hard Drive at the store.

His self professed nickname was "Mr Nasco" as he had access to a Holden dealership in Sydney and acquired their NOS parts and accessories (it wasn't that hard in the 80's )

Thanks Tim, Glenn mentioned that the previous owner was a NASCO hound. The main thing I'm interested in with this car is the originality. I can see that at least the floor-mats have been replaced at some stage (they're the later trowelled-edge ones) and the radio is mounted under the dash. The Pearlcraft steering wheel will have to go...and the stick-on Holden door lock surrounds...blech!

Glenn is sending through some more details & pics on the weekend.

This car could fit in very nicely with my Grand Plan

If this one checks out, then I only need one more FB sedan of smilar quality, but will have to be blue.

Forgot about the flecks...good point.

Hi Alan, I am back in Sydney tomorrow, will look for all the pics I took a couple of years back. Happy to pop over and see Glenn again and have a good look for you.

Steve

Hey Tim, didn't I send you a whole bunch of pics on this car? I remember saying If I buy it, you can have the Crome sil covers
