Hi
here is the mass of info;
My VERY ORIGINAL FC Special wagon is up for grabs. Unfortunately I don’t have a money tree and need $’s to fund a truck rebuild.
She is a mechanically restored barn find (stored over 10 years) in west Qld.
This is one of the most original FC Wagons out there, she has not been modified at all. A lot of people claim to have original FC’S but are running
red motors or different front ends/brakes, but not this old girl....ALL STOCK, with all badges/chrome etc. She even has a front sun visor (off car in
pics but in good cond, just needs new bolts) and rear dust shields.
NO RUST!! There is only a tiny bit up under the radiator (easy fix) but rest of car is VERY solid and not full of bog and filler etc (one little dent
has some fibreglass over it but cant find any more). All doors are solid and rust free and all the usual rusty areas are clean on this car. Under car
is solid, all floors good, no rust bubbles ANYWHERE on car including underside of doors (see pics).
The trim and paint codes on tag match the car, and she is still running an old Holden grey engine which is in good running order. Even has original
oil bath air filter in working order.
Interior is VGC for age, front seat recovered but one tiny section of stitching undid recently, back is good but faded, carpet is brand new (floors
rust-proof painted before install) and door trims A-1, hoodliner is almost perfect except small rip at far rear of boot area.
3 speed column shift manual.
Since I got her I have been restoring mechanically;
All new re-cored radiator (with original end tanks to keep original looking), new water pump, hoses, cap, fluids, plugs, ignition leads, oil, etc.
Cleaned fuel tank/lines, and carby kit done.
NEW clutch master and slave cylinders (changes gears very smoothly).
NEW brake master cylinder and all new wheel cylinders and brake hoses (she pulls up REALLY well for old girl with stock brakes).
She is running very well and starts easily even when cold. No smoke or weird noise other than the normal GREY engine noise. Had a new manifold gasket
and exhaust flange gasket kit done too.
Only downside to her is the paint. She was in an open fronted shed and front faded. I had her cut/polished but would look better with a paint job. She
is very straight with good chrome (not perfect but very presentable) and the front bumpers I have are both bent (1 is actually passable but both are
slightly damaged on drivers third) however I have another one on way in a few weeks so then she will be complete.
Has a tiny dent (easy fix) near front headlight, otherwise almost perfect straight unmolestered vehicle.
Only thing not working is headlights/dash light so I am working on them now, however suspect faulty swicth etc as the tail lights/indicators work. I
am still looking into this as it is the only thing stopping a RWC I think.
Oh and the tyres have good tread but have cracking on sidewalls so better to replace ($59- ea, as they are the original skinny 13’s).
I am an honest person and tried to describe car as best I could. Everyone who saw it at mechanics could not believe how solid and rust free she is for
an original vehicle that has not been messed with. She is no show car (remember she is 53 years old) but she is a classic in good standard driveable
condition and could be driven as is or she is the perfect base for a nut/bolt resto if you like.
Overall she just needs more time put into cleaning as the ‘rusty’ look in engine bay virtually wipes away with soapy water/steel wool.
I have only driven her for about 30 mins total since the mechanical refurbishment as she is unreg and too be totally honest I am way more excited by
my other project and the FC just doesn’t give me the same thrill! She drives well for an old girl with no noises, smooth gears etc and that old
floaty steering feel.
I think she is better off with a collector who really is into FC’s or Holdens.
I can be contacted for inspections and she can be driven a little as on acerage, but she will need to be towed upon sale.
I may trade for another old school VW (Karmann, hot beetle, combi etc) if it excites me but prefer a sale as need $ for truck rebuild.
