It's me again, my last post was removed because I forgot to include contact phone No. ( which is 0400 163 962 ). Ring me weekdays, only after 6:00 p.m., or weekends.

My white 1974 manual TLE fastback is here up for sale, and is currently garaged in Geelong. I bought it over a year ago, as a hobby car to tinker with. It has been converted to carbies, somewhere back in its history.

When I bought it, I drove it onto the trailer, then into the garage. Since then I've started it, and driven it onto the front lawn a only a few times, to get a better view of the job on hand (to admire it) . Today I started it again, and put it in the driveway ( no problem ), and let it idle for a while.

After a recent, and major cleanout of my garage, I sadly realised, that it is just sitting there, and taking up space. Family responsibilities, just don't allow me time for it. What it deserves is someone, who's got the time to put this lovely classic coupe, back on the road. Two cars in the family is already enough.

The car is in fairly good condition. It is original and complete.

I've been trying to find time, to finish repair of a big dent in the passenger door, and some minor surface rust in some usual areas, that I'd started. Overall the whole car is dry, mostly just needing a tidy. The interior is really nice.

Bad Things - Front left parking light needs looking at. A fuel hose needs replacing (replaced most of the others).It will need another battery (as this one is almost gone). It will need door-window rubbers replaced.

I can't imagine it would need too much more to get it on the road.

I'm asking only $2,000 for a quick sale.

I here include some pics that I took today, and I am happy to answer any questions, that I'm able to.

Danny,

I am still keen its just that the sale of my car fall through on saturday.

I am sure you will have no problems finding a buyer.

Cheers Paul

Danny,

Can you post up some pics of the interior?

Danny like major..i wonderd if you post some more pics of the inside of the car/engine bay...and areas of rust if any just gauge how much work it would need..Thanks mate look pretty good though

G'day All;

I here include requested pics of interior. I was happy to let her "putt" away on the front lawn, while I took them. The overcast weather, allowed much better lighting, for clearer photos. When I saw these pics, realised the carpet could have done with a vacum.

Re: rust. There's nothing major to speak of. The dent in the passenger door was the only major thing. I'll include some pics of the surface rust areas, that I've endeavoured to repair. Clearly, I'm no panel beater, but the job was getting there. The minor areas I speak of are in the lower right corner of the front windscreen, and up high on the rear arches. The car overall is pretty dry.

I saw Major's discussion, hereabouts, that you had a deal fall through, this last weekend . . . and yes, it's O.K. to pass my details on to anyone interested (can't remember in which forum I saw that !).

Danny

. . . and here's another

was after a roadworthy one if poss...but wouldnt mind taken a look though...just depends on what work is needed and the $ cost of getting a r.w.c...would try and see it this weekend if poss...gotta look at another one in sringvale..so leave me your contact details if you can cherrs .chris

sorry to hear major that your sale fell through...who would bid on a car that they dont have the money for? what idiots... good luck on your search for fasty hope you find one too mate

Thanks Danny. Car looks pretty tidy.

Chris, where the hell do you find all these cars?

spending hours on the net...its sad but i realy want to find one!!

Hey Chris your not the only one spending hours on the net.

I'm after a Square and doing the same.

I found my car on the trading post and bought it 6 months latter coz I could not find anything else. lol was still there when I looked again so I buys it.

glad its not just me then haha...thers not many fasties or other type 3s up for sale at the moment..bet there will be soon as ive bought one..then there will loads

Chris, did i read right you have a brought a fastback?

no not yet!!..just saying that after i buy one probobly loads more will appear for sale lool

sold your car yet mate?

Had a couple of calls so far, but it's still early days. Yep, it's still up for grabs.

I'll give it a few weeks, 'cause It'd be nice to go to a dubber, who'll get it on the road quickly. You just don't ever see them on the roads, anymore. They must be getting rare as hens' teeth.

If there's no buyers after that, I'll prob get back to cleaning it up, better, over time, now that I've got my garage space back, and then try get more for the old coupe, later.

it was me who txt earlier mate will come this weekend

if poss will try later in the work it just depends on work and theres no point coming to view once its dark....but iam definatly keen and if it checks out and i can get on the road without to much trouble..i will buy it

got any pics of the engine mate??

meant to say later on in the week....in my earlier post

Hey, Chris. Thanks for the SMS text. Saturday is good for me. About 10:30 ( like to sleep in ) I agree you'll get a better view in daylight. I'll text you my address, before then. Where you coming from, if you mind me asking ?

Here's a pic of the 1600cc, you asked for.

Congrates Danny.

Cheers Paul
