[FS - NSW] 74 type 181
I have all my cars cleaned and finally cleared by Aust. quarantine . Here is a 1974 thing or type 181 that is complete and is in need of a total
restoration . The car is free of any rust however will need some minor body work . The floors are in good condition with a few small holes and to make
it a glamour I would replace the pans but not necessary . The body is very straight with little or no filler as it has been stripped and coated with
some sort of undercoat . It has no engine , transmission is there , seats are complete and need recovering , the softop frame works fine and needs a
hood , bumpers are decent , windshield was cracked in transit and requires a new flat glass , side curtains are there , and the dash is original . I
purchased this car in Sept 07 from the desert in California and is still left hand drive which I belive to be legal in all states . I am looking at
around $ 7000 for this unique vehicle , ROD , 02-42729920 .

just for anyone who is interested I have spent quite a while looking around in the USA at 181's and have to say that what you get for your $$$$ over
here is not real impresive.
So if you are thinking of buying one over in the USA yourself and importing it I would be confident in saying unless you where real lucky, and I mean
real lucky then you would come out behind where you would be if you just bought this one and this would be a lot easier being it is in Australia.
I was one of those potential buyers who went to the USA looking for a cheaper option and to date I haven't even found anything worth buying yet alone
shipping back. If I didn't spend all my $$$$ buying toys for my Iguana then I would jump on this.

Buggy
I am in Whistler, Canada at the moment and saw a Thing in LA last week- very ratty and wanting a lot of $$$.
I too would be a prospective purchaser - but given where I am and what it cost me to get here (ie- wedding/ honeymoon etc) then I am out of the
running
But I agree with Brad - would be good value.
If still for sale in a month or so when my bank recovers I will be calling - but that will not be the case.

Not wanting to hijack Rods ad, just saying whatever your taste, 181's are nuts cars and weather you want a sand racer, an off road adventure machine
or like me, something not the same as anyone else, the king dick of slammed rats, they are fantastic in all modes. Like the other boys say, mine was
bought from the states and privately imported, and Rod's is a bargin!!
