Bay Duel Cab Ute not for sale now
TheMiniMan - June 20th, 2009 at 10:17 AM

Looks like i`m going to have to sell my V8 Kombi Bay duel cab 78 model

Needs the horn fixed, a ball joint is a bit sqeaky/dry & boot torn,,, & it could do with a CV joint or 2 as they`re getting a tiny weeny bit noisy now, can hardly hear it but they`re starting to click,,, But that`s about it.

I`m open to offers but around $22K would be about right, it`s recently had all Albins gears & mainshaft fitted throughout the "Thick-Rib 2L case , with .7:1 overdriven top gear,,, & a Pelquin Limited Slip diff (plaentary gear type) & it`s just beautiful to drive

It`s also been fitted with a 2600Lb BMW clutch with the diaph pivot point changed to be easy on the clutch cable,,,& extra large throw-out bearing,

I`ve also fitted a motha fker thermo fan (3500mtrs/min) but it just doesn`t ever need to be turned on tho, this car runs perfect temp everywhere.

Rear Tyres are just great, heaps of tread & heaps of grip,,, the fronts are getting low-ish, would still pass rwc tho i`d say

The Lexus quad cam Alloy V8 engine is just beautiful, smooth as a babys bottom & plenty of grunt... & is surprisingly cheap to run being injected... there`s a custom fab-d alloy fuel tank, pressed Alloy computer designed & cut drop sides & tail gate (very nice) it`s also go alloy checker plate tray cover, bull-bar, spot lights, tow bar, radio/CD player, Rhino roof racks nice appolstery, all round it`s a pretty clean & tidy car.

In case you don`t know the car,,, here`s a vid of it--->

matberry - June 23rd, 2009 at 07:22 PM

This other car must be flash


Mick058 - June 23rd, 2009 at 07:43 PM

PM me details on the g-box and a price ;)


TheMiniMan - June 23rd, 2009 at 09:13 PM

yeah Matty,,, it`s a very special car & also very close to my heart, i`ll talk to you soon about it,,, i have hit the bank for an extension on my home load But i don`t hold much hope for a yes from them, i would have to actually make some money for them to be happy to lend me any more :-)

I have 2 of my Cooper"S"s for sale also,,, well,,, actully everything is for sale at the moment :-)

Mick,,, i`ll sort something out this week & get back to you,,, But first, do you have a std-ish 2litre kombi gearbox as an exchange so i could keep this thing running "IF" i did split it?


Mick058 - June 24th, 2009 at 08:20 AM

I dont have an exchange unit - im currently running a single side plate box. Sorry mate. keep me posted on how you go.


TheMiniMan - June 25th, 2009 at 08:11 AM

Well,,, if i sold the gearbox for $5000,,, would someone want the car with a std box for $15,000 ???

don`t forget that this gearbox is All Albins internals,,, & A Peloquin planetary gear type Limited slip diff

Would someone be interested in the car without the motor & box???


TheMiniMan - June 28th, 2009 at 10:24 AM

sorry, this car is no longer for sale, am keeping it now :-)

mods can delete this whole topic if you like

thanks for all who were interested, the bank has approved my loan extension :-)

This is the sort of car i`m buying--->
