Nostalgia drags are on today at the Motoplex, i'll keep an eye out for you.

None spotted but a shed loads of fast old school muscle!

[Lump]

yeah, they are getting hard to find - thanks for having a look tho.

I have a potential purchase tho - 1975 'shed find' - untouched in 25 years & not a lot before then either, original/genuine XBGS351 Coupe, factory LSD 9".
Awesome body with sfa rust, 177k kms, original books, original lic plates running & registered - stock as a rock.

thanks, but the bloke wont trade for $20k cash - only for a car of similar value

[mARC]

Going off the last part of the for sale add looks like ole mate got his gear together, started getting quotes and shat the bed?

Based on his add, car of similar value would surely be a running Gemini? As there'll be a shed load of work/cash required to get that to a stage where you could drop an engine in.

(based on bare metal respray and metal patch work)

[Lump]

No, he's had plenty of cash offers at $20k as is - its very probably worth a bit more than that for cash ($25k), but I think he's holding out for a swap for a car well in excess of $20k - seems strange to me only wanting a swap but its his choice.

You could easily be looking at $40k to restore if you dont do most of the work yourself. For that car I dont think that is overcapitalising at all.

lol, yeah strange seller - wont even take phone calls

[mARC]

The article just smells fishy to me.

ATB with your your purchase, and thread/build thread when you kick off.

[mrniceguy]

You wouldn't consider a coupe without paint done?

[Lump]

I possibly would send me a pm with details if you like

[Lump]

a fine specimen..

[mARC]

It's an XA but given the rarity of an XA GT Wagon, it's a steal at $10k

'Runs and drove before I put it into sealed storage, about 10 years ago now'

[Lump]

lol, so many things wrong with that car, probably wasnt even a v8 originally (6cyl tacho).
at least he's dropped the price $5k now... :-)

[Lump]
