Nice ride!


wiseoldub - August 22nd, 2010 at 12:18 PM

cheers Krisko!
this is my wifes toy car and will sell to pay for the wedding we have had planned to have for the last 11 years!
It is a 68, (first of the newer shape) and has been painted in baby blue by previous owner. still reasonable, but not show quality. solid, daily driver with a warm 1776 with lumpy cam and 40 dcn weber and stainless exhaust that gives it a real growl! sounds like it has more balls than my 2tlr in the ute!. lowered with adjustable spring plates in rear and adjusters and dropped spindles in front. front is also narrowed 2' and handles beautifully! drives really well and handles better than my 74 single cab that is lowered with adjusters only! full set of porsche riviera wheels with fully polished 4.5 inch wide spare. have got pop outs ready to fit and over riders on bumpers. bamboo tray under dash and rear speaker shelf ready to put sound system in. interior is usable and smart, but not show quality. has 6 months rego (as of this week) and will leave a hole when she sells! just got too many other things on the go and a splitty to get on the road! will be selling my single cab too i think. please call 0414 726194 after 5 pm weekdays or txt me whenever and i'll get back to you. car is located in the hills of byron, 2479 and will drive to your home wherever you are. will cosider part swap for duel cab! he he he
cheers, josh
(because i am retarded, i have a mate posting pics and can only send you pics by camera phone. I can get more of the stuff you request. cheers) price can vary depending on what you want!

wiseoldub - September 23rd, 2010 at 07:58 AM

yr a legend Krisko!!! I don't care what the police report says!


krisko - September 23rd, 2010 at 08:34 AM

hahah - it doesn't matter, we're legal now!


bluebug74 - September 23rd, 2010 at 01:33 PM

Should relocate the fuel filter mate. It's sitting on the alternator currently, very dangerous if there's a leak......


Cheers!!


wiseoldub - September 28th, 2010 at 09:28 PM

bump for the message i got this arvo!
still for sale!


wiseoldub - October 6th, 2010 at 04:16 PM

after a few enquiries, I am also able to offer this car at a lower price without the wheels or motor. With std rims and a 1600, the price would be $4000. This would include duel Kadrons.
Let me know if this strikes you as a deal!
cheers, josh


wiseoldub - October 14th, 2010 at 04:16 PM

price with std wheels, $5200
price with mags and 1600, $4750


PAZZAN - October 14th, 2010 at 05:11 PM

wiseoldub - October 14th, 2010 at 06:38 PM
