.Hi all.
Well, the time has come, to say goodbye to my nice low mileage ute. It is not getting the attention it deserves. I have got the Norman Supercharger bug & am funnelling my cash into my FB standard Cop-car.
Short description is this. It has 34,000 genuine original miles on the clock. NO RUST. Best sub-frame I have ever seen. Still in original gloss black under the car, & as clean as a whistle. Matching numbers on original motor. Motor may need a bit of work, as slightly fumey. This is because the sucker sat for 28 years in a shed. Interior is in excellent condition, with the seat professionally re done with a NOS squab. Fllor mat original, but not perfect. Genuine Olympic Air-rides, one is NOS. Rear tray has been painted in Shitty blue enamel, but it comes off easily. It has protected the tray magically. All panels are again 100% rust free. There are a couple of dents here & there, but they are NOT big. I have photos of them.
This car has been looked after by a fanatic over the last 30 years, but he has managed to polish through in places. The car will need a re-spray if you want it spot on.
It also comes with a wooden canopy. Not regoed.
I am in Tasmania, but shipping to the mainland is possible
I am being picky, but I want it clear to all. For more info, give me an email or a PM.

$7,000 if you want to restore it. Bloody cheap, but I want it to go fast.

$15,000 if you think you are going to modify it. Get the point?

There are a few people who are keen on this car, but I just have to be fair to all & advertise on the forum.

Thanks,
Rob J

Very good to see there are still cars like that around.  Both prices sound very fair.

Congrats on making 400 posts.  Do you get a prize?

Would luv to see a pic of the ute just for interests sake.

regards, shayne.

Hi Trev,
Yes, I wanted it to go to an "enthusiest". There is a guy down here who wants it & is keen to pay more, but I cannot abide it getting hacked for a V6, TH700 & all that stuff. Don't get me wrong, I dig those cars, but this one is NOT going that way. Money is not everything, I have learnt.
All goes well, it should be in NSW by the end of next week.

What a treasure. To sell it would be the last thing youd ever what to do but blowers and all thoses other toys have a way of changing priorities. Hope you dont feel bad for long Rob. To Ace your a lucky man!

Hi fc4me.
Yes, it was a hard choice, but I have 4 other Holdens & a wife that is getting really shirty about all the Holdens I have stashed here & there. One of the other cars is an even lower mileage car. Later model, but still immaculate. This one will sooth my "Low Mileage" cravings.

Yes, I am sad it has gone, but know it is going to get the attention it needs. I have just bought another car, this one with 28,000 miles on the clock. Car is immaculate. Only thing is, it is a.......wait for it.................HG Belmont Station Wagon!!! I know, but you gotta see this car to appreciate it. Beautiful, really well optioned & MINE!!
So, one of the others had to go. I admit to having 4 cars that my wife knows about, but there is a couple more stashed out of sight.
The canopy is really cool on the ute. The plans were availabe frokm your GMH dealer & you bought them & built it yourself, or got a joiner to do it. This one has been really well put together. Looks excellent.

Man, I would have loved that fold down seat Slim, but I suppose it would have ended up at Ace's place anyway!

Congrats on the purchase Ace, that canopy looks awesome, along with the rest of the ute!

Rob, pump some funds into that blown cop car of yours, now that's a project! Just saying those words 'blown cop car', it just rolls off the tongue. try it everyone......'I own a blown cop car'. Very jealous mate.
