1969 Fastback what's it worth?
Hi guys, I'm a newbie and rudely I haven't been to the newbie section as yet, time is a littel limited with a 6 month old bub in the house!
Which brings me to my question: I've sadly had to buy a bigger 2nd car (of all things an AU Falcon Wagon) and will have to part with my beloved
Fasty. It's a 1969 Fasty with everything original other than the bonnet and bumpers, a CD player and some speakers (no big holes cut for speakers,
they're box mounted to the parcel shelf). It's been sprayed (roughly) about 3 years ago and could probably do with a refresh by someone with more
time and money than myself. My question is what are these things worth? I've not yet seen a pre 1970 for sale anywhere and have nothing to go on
for pricing! It's been my daily driver to get to and from work for 2 years and runs beautifully! Any opinions on what I should be asking for it
would be greatly appreciated!
My honest opinion is to keep it and store it but the boss doesn't agree as I'm also restoring a 1967 VC Chrysler Valiant that's been in my family
for over 20 years!

nice looking car Jeff - wish these were around when I lived in Hobart - only saw one notch for sale when I was first looking (now live in VIC)
mate your car with running, complete and with Reg? has to be worth 3-6k somewhere - that may sound a bit vague - but really hard to tell without
actually seeing or driving it in person...
if you advertise it start high and work down from there - keep in mind what it owes you and how soon you need it sold...
I'm not a massive Fasty fan... but looking at those pics... I'd own it...! looks like a good basis for a very cool type 3...! and being a 5 stud
makes it that bit cooler...! (btw I reckon its probably actually a 65-67 not a 69)
good luck with it all (i have an 8month old and know what ya feeling!)
cheers Ben

Thanks Ben! It doesn't owe me much, but I don't want to give it away, hence why I'm asking people who know! If my wife had her way it would be on
ebay for $1000 buy it now, but when the local VW guy that does some of my mechanical work says "it must be worth a bit?" my ears pricked up so
thought I should ask around!

The history of the car is it was given to my father by the original owner in 2005, dad saw it in a garage in Sandy Bay whilst doing some landscaping
across the street! Old bloke said he drove it into the shed on night and it wouldn't start the next day so he bought a Hyundai Excell and left the
Fasty to sit for 8 years! Told dad get a trailer and you can have it! Dad was going to turn it into a buch basher so I saved it, owed him $120 and
it cost $30 for trailer hire so I sort of paid $150 for it! It wouldn't start 'cause the coil was stuffed! lol Had a few dents in the left front
guard and bonnet so I sourced a bonnet and repaied the guard as best as possible and the father in law shot a coat fo paint over her! Got her passed
for rego in January 2009 and driven nearly every work day since! Has had new tie rods ends, ball joints and steering damper done recently, new brakes
in 09, clock says just over 40k miles but not sure if it's first time around, the way the engince runs I'm assuming it's the first time round! Was
originally to replace the wifes desire for a Beetle, but then she hated driving it and I loved driving it so I inherited it! But now life demands it
goes!

Looks nice. What's with good ones turning up in tassie? Might make it a bit harder to sell?
And it looks a bit early than 69?
Good luck.

I recon its a 68 it should be 12v and the 3rd digit in the chassis number should be an 8 meaning 1968.

I think it's a first registered 69 so that's just what it says on the rego papers! Could be a 68!

early door handles and locks, Z arms rests, 5 stud wheels, up and down slider for dash vents and a cigarette lighter... as opposed to black dash vent
knobs
I wonder if the chrome body trim hasn't been changed at the time of the paint job...! not 100% sure with fasty's but I'm still pretty sure it aint
no 68' (iunless its a aussie/german difference..?)
all jokes aside who knows how long before they were shipped to Tassie, and how long it sat at the showroom/dealership before it sold... could be a 67
registered 69
(not to mention the stickers are rarely that accurate...)
back of the speedo if its original, og spare wheel or the i.d. plate will tell us for sure... unless its a friday arvo clayton special...!?!?
will happily help spread the word Jeff, like it... but not in the market for a fasty too much else on my plate...!

Looks like a 67 and a half clayton special, 3rd digit in chassis number/ tin compliance plate will sort that out, tell tail signs of being a 67.5 is
black light switches (earlier are ivory), black hand brake grip (Earlier are grey) 69 would be IRS, different fresh air dash knobs, 4 stud disc and
drum and a fuel flap on the D/S front guard, trigger style door handles etc etc...
Good luck with the sale looks like a nice car.

tony from adelaide here...Iam in the market for a pre69 fasty, and can tell you what 2 are up for sale here in Adelaide atm,,,, the first is a 1966
pretty tidy and not much work required he originally had price at $6.5k however has reduced asking price to $5.8k,,,as i said very tidy,,has been
lowered and has empi mags and has britex ragtop roof (sunroof), and mechanicly pretty spot on,,,the other one is a 67 or 68 pretty originakl
fasty,,,the guy wants 1200 to 1500,,,needs heaps of work with major rust repairs...overall paint not too bad,,but when the rust is all fixed up most
likely will need a complete respray,,,body besides rust issue is pretty straight and good,,,engine may need a bit of work as well...so they are two
examples at the two extremes i suppose.....the other one iam aware of is a1969 automatic fastie in northerrn NSW,,,,thgat guy is currently restoring,
and he has told me he is after $5k when work is finished.....as i said iam after a fasty...however my price range is no higher than $3.5....so let me
know if that fits in with your price range..cheers,,tony from adelaide...you can contact me on 0431945116...or 08) 83586807..or
email...kerrieone64@yahoo.com.au....cheers

Looked back through a few Just Cars and that type of "Magazine" to see what people were asking for them over the last couple of years and called a
few sellers to see what they got for theirs if they sold at all and from what I can gather from that and what people have said on here I'll be asking
$5,500 o.n.o.! Waiting for days off work that have decent weather to get fresh pics!
