I am lucky to have a couple of toy cars tucked up in the shed, a '69 Sunbeam Imp and a '76 Swallowtail MK1 Golf.
Recently my wife has been badgering me to get her a retro car, so I asked for her to work out what she wants and then we can start the path to looking for it.
Long story short, about 3 months ago she settled on wanting a Squareback, preferring the early style look over the later year models.
Over the time I have hunted over eBay, carsales, and on here. Unfortunately, we started looking just after 2 great looking cars were sold from NSW to VIC.
What we are looking for is a turn key purchase, as I have enough projects that need some hard work, so really simple repairs are fine but prefer something that has been rolling restored or preferably resprayed.
Consider anything on the East Coast but will lay more for something on NSW registration. Ideally the price range will be $10-12K, but for the right car we will travel and outlay what it is worth. Engine type, lowering and wheels are not really that important, as long as they are operational and look good on the car.
I hope to uncover something that someone knows about or may be looking to sell soon.
Please feel free to PM me if you want to chat in person, we are located in the Blue Mountains.
Look forward to hearing from anyone.
Cheers,
Mick.
