'56ish or earlier, its been done over by the high back seats I think I can see through the windscreen and the wide tyres..... what else has changed??
I paid $2500 for my project, guess this one runs (what motor?)
My guess would be around $1.5 to 5 depending on if it runs, what extra bits do you have (bumpers etc)

Anyone elses guesses?

Well apparently this is worth $1600.00? so the ovals gotta be worth the same ... but then theres trading post price, eBay price and of course AVD price...so yeah about $500 then if you tell her your a savvy ADVer...

Joel · 1 Sep 2006, 8:38 pm

is it just me or are those front gaurds wide?

crewcabconnection · 1 Sep 2006, 8:53 pm

maybe you could add some of those Porga bits, finish it off noice...

Hertz · 1 Sep 2006, 9:27 pm

Ive got some NOS torana taillights that Ive been hiding away for that special project. Should be a huge improvement.

Dasdubber · 1 Sep 2006, 9:51 pm

I guess its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it (like most cars) - I wouldn't pay more than $1K but that is just me.

Schmoburger · 2 Sep 2006, 12:44 am

Those lights are off an XR Fairmont I believe...

Spook · 2 Sep 2006, 6:28 am

Last two ovals I bought were $120 & a cold carton respectively.

helbus · 2 Sep 2006, 10:30 am

I was going to say $50. I could then cut it up.

VWCOOL · 2 Sep 2006, 10:43 am

$50. Good work. I would have paid no more than a few hundred myself... too many bits wrong/missing to pay any more than that

h · 2 Sep 2006, 10:44 am

good stuff, i'll give you $70, a redback for your trouble.. :P

weapon · 2 Sep 2006, 11:12 am

ill swap a 63 split, no engine, gearbox or wheels, the rest is there.

lohoon · 2 Sep 2006, 11:57 am

Tailights are XT Falcon from 1968. XRs had a round indicator in the centre.XTs had the bar across as per photo.
$50... good score in any ones books!
