I'm no expert, but that's one of the driest original splitties I have seen in a while.

Very lucky mate,Amazing that they are still out there somewhere.What other cars were in that shed?

D-train - July 26th, 2011 at 10:01 AM

its a sept 1960, original tyres on it, only front passenger goes down, apart from that all are still ok, gone hard but ok.
plans are stock as a rock an no mods to it, clean it up an its done..

azzatron - July 26th, 2011 at 11:00 AM

Looks terrific. Will be so much fun to fix/clean up when it's in that sort of condition.

Dasdubber - July 26th, 2011 at 10:11 PM

Great stuff Dion.

Not much luck in it folks - takes effort and persistence to find such treasures, including this one which Dion tells me was 10 hours drive from the closest semi-major centre (much more from capital city).

Congrats mate, you deserve such a find.
PS ute bumper arrived from the US at my workshop today.

Does it have an engine? Bits of the engine bay I could see in the photos looked like it didn't have one installed anyway.

max autos - August 1st, 2011 at 09:48 PM

wow what a find...

spearsy7 - August 3rd, 2011 at 01:55 PM

Great score!!!

D-train - August 6th, 2011 at 06:55 PM

Al, the bumper will suit this bus to a tee, so ill have to get up there when you have sorted out all the stuff.

an no engine guys, i have located a engine (40hp 6v) but its from a 62.

i need case numbers in between, 5 157 563 to 5 223 966 to make it close to matching and the engine i have is a 7 not a 5, only a small detail, but i want it as close as possible.

SlownLow - August 15th, 2011 at 12:12 AM

Nice one

kombicafe - September 3rd, 2011 at 11:48 PM

So awesome... so original.... I agree with you, clean it and try to keep as is
Congratulations mate!
