zaczac - April 1st, 2014 at 08:21 PM

It is a genuine 1 old lady car sold in Jandowae new and she owned it all her life (she died in her 90s in 2006) Car sat under house and I bought it off son.
It is documented etc and was originally a 3.3l six. Column shift auto.
It is still all original and now has a worked 351 (only 500ks on engine thus far). Stage 3 Cam, 302 heads for compression (mild work on them), 600 holley with manual choke, extractors and new twin system (sounds extremely good). Has all new rings, bearing, lifters, gaskets, machining, timing chain, cam etc etc
C4 auto, still column shift.

Has a heap of all new parts like tyres, radiator, all hoses etc etc.

NEVER had any dodgy repairs and well maintained over the years.

No RUST at all in all the usual spots like windows, tail lights, boot, floors, etc as was a west Qld car its whole life. I just welded some lower sections in lower front guard and rear guard as had one bubble and cant tell where it was as did it properly with zinc steel but the paint was a slight mis match as its 38 years old and a bit faded I guess.

It is quite fast and is estimated at; at least 300hp. It is tuned beautifully and easy to start and drive. For a big car it goes well and comfy

Have spares including mags (2 near new tyres) and a vented GT bonnet with NO RUST (that alone is a $500- item), but not yet painted.

There are some dents (worst is all in drivers front 1/4 which is the faded area also , so a respray would solve all issues there) and paint is GC on 90% of car but drivers is faded. But it is an original car that has not been mucked with.

You see a few one owner cars occasionally but not in the original condition of this well maintained old ladies car.

NOW HAS A SOLID STEEL REAR VENETION AND I AM IN PROCESS OF STEEL PLATING UP THE MINOR RUST IN REAR 1/4'S. ONCE DONE THIS CAR WILL BE 100%RUST FREE! THIS CAR SOUNDS BRILLIANT AND HAS THAT OLD SCHOOL V8 RUMBLE YOU DONT GET IN MODERN CARS.

Wanting to trade for karmann ghia in good condition.
