Howdy all,

Having finally sold my daily driver I am now in the market for a fastback.

Don't mind if it is someone's unfinished project or if it is close to being on the road. As long as it is complete and in my budget, up to $3,500.

Thanks.

That green one you were on about in geelong is on ebay again mate...have you been to see it major?

Call Mark 09 95472169 very nice White Fasty - red interior around your budget with a rwc

Chris,

Looked at the green fasty the other week when it was first on ebay. It looks good in the photos but is a bit rough up close. Body has a fare bit of surface rust, but the chassis looked pretty tidy. It has previously had some rust work done on the pan which wasn't a great job. To me they were asking a bit to much plus the colour is grasshopper green.......no thank you! The interior was a bit rough too and it had been converted to carbie like the one you picked up. Which wouldn't have been a problem if the rest of the car was in a good condition.

Hopefully one will pop up soon. Not interested in selling yours?

Cheers Paul

Thanks type3disease, do you know any other details?

there is a fair few of them atm.

all lates though

nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, I have seen all the ones on ebay. However a couple are not in Vic and those that are were a bit out of my price range. I had a look at the green one in Geelong a couple of weeks ago, but not really what I am after and I don't think it is worth the money they are asking.

The orange one in NSW looks ok, but it is NSW. I don't have the time to venture up there for a look and I am not going to buy something without looking at it first, so will have to wait until something pops up in Vic.

There is one that type3disease put me onto that I will try to have a look at this week.

However I am still looking and have cash to spend, so if anyone knows of one in Vic, or close to Vic, let me know.

Cheers Paul

i like early and late type 3 fasties!!

I like both the early and late models, at this stage I would be happy with a matchbox car version!
