It is with great reluctance that I announce that I will sell My 59 Splitty,

This 11 window Kombie has not travelled under its own power for about 25 years or more, it still has the semaphores and all the 9 original seats.
It has some front damage but is quite restoreable,
with my army of historic vehicles mounting much faster than my Job Prospects now, I offer this Kombie for Sale, reluctantly,
there is no motor but it is a rolling concern.

My Name is Anthony
I live at Ormeau on the gold coast.
the description is above
and the condition is restorable yet poor condition.
the Price is $1500 or best offer

My Phone Number is
0411 637 286

and the VIN is stamped in the engine bay :thumb
Rest assured it is not encumberred, and it was made in December 59

Thanks Rob,
I would rather keep it but I am running out of money and not running out of cars.
I also have my GSXR 1100 for sale too, Hope that sells first so I can just keep the kombie, Its much easier to buy another bike next summer than it is to buy a 59 kombie with seats and semaphores still inside.
If I can get the money I am asking for it in the trading post, I can live with my decision, but otherwise I shall just plan to restore it when all the parts come together, Like the front panel from your friend.

For the moment I am busy with the 64 Panelvan and getting it up and running, I have plenty of time to fix it but no money to spend on it at the moment, A world wide adventure, a 57 chev and No job since August spells broke, I can survive ok with my DJ job, but can't get too excited about buying window rubbers etc for the panelvan till something changes.

Cheers Anthony

Thanks eirecooled
I have told the people who bought Wilson, about the part you have and they might contact you about it.

Thanks

I feel comfortable that Wilson is going to a good home,

A couple from Brisbane have adopted him, and plan to do the necesary work to see him on the road again some time in the near future.

I have been inundated with phone calls.
Some in the hope that I may have a real gem and be unaware or my good fortune.

Thank you to all the genuine enquirers.

Cheers Anthony

hi Anthony,congrats on the sale and glad to hear its going to a good home!!!i think the only problem with this kombi was that it needed a full front cut in good nick (which i have)which is hard to come by these days(which was reflected in the price...it was cheap!!!).if it wasnt for time constraints i would have come down for a look.but because ive got to set my priorities on my future project and getting ready to leave in 2 weeks...just didnt make sence investing $$$ into a car that i wont even be able to touch for another year.thanks for the photos anyway and best regards Andreas😉
