FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

We are selling our family car  :'( after nearly 6 years. It was bought at a  private sale from a bloke who took it home off a movie set in Qld over 15 years ago making  it here to Perth WA. She is a renovators delight, light blue with white roof station wagon, with 8HR number plates and floor 3 speed gears. It has since had new tyres; air brakes; rear air shocks and springs; the engine is a very reliable red 172: new plugs & exhaust, and thus she has never broken down. The roof was new 4 years ago, the body has some rust which has been part of the reno plans, but due to children and work became a low priority, now the job must go to a more committed HR lover. Any further queries don't hesitate to contact me, Coralee  :D

Air Brakes and a 172 red motor .... ?????

It's like I tell my wife Slim, what's one inch less.... ;)

 ::) Are ya interested or just bored? Obviously i know nothing, only repeating wot a bloke like yrselves explained who knows more about engines than a chick like myself, and i may have it wrong but i can send your a foto, or 3? If it makes you happy? Oh, and an inch is an inch... ;)

Slim,
I reckon air brakes setup would be for trailer (caravan) given that it has air shockies (presumably for towing).

hmmm,
        so size does matter,my minus
has been lying then dam,  :P.

p.s thanks but you may want to
try the 48-78 early holden car club
nsw or hd-hr car clubs of any state
for a better chance of a sale.
                                             col. ;)
                                   

Hiya, thanks for the info. Do you have an email address of the recommended HR contacts? I am offering $2000, I have done some checking and believe I have been informed wrong as the engine  is orange a ?173  :-/still not positive on that either, and the brakes are disc brakes, i am now going to obviously ask you guys if i need to know anything eh...  ;D

I like a witty reply loock .
The blokes on here are a bit rough on the new comers hehe .
Its like a gang in here  ::) .
The engine may be visually orange loock but the reference to a red motor covers a wide range of engine sizes and years of manufacture , In actual fact you could pop the bonnet and look at a green motor exclaiming "Thats a red motor"
173 sounds perfect and disk brakes are good too .
$2000 sounds very expensive because its not what we like  ;D FEs FCs .
Its always good to go to the source www.hdhrholden.com but great you have let us know also , I have a mate who is looking for a wagon and I will let him know of your add however we are on the East side.
Hope thats helpfull

 ;) Yr a win on Harko I like yr style...Thanks for the encouragement, of course the price is very negotiable and being in the West is a real disadvanage yeah...I will try the web site you gave us and sit tight, trying to hang in there for her to go to a good home. Went to the Holden wreckers to see about parts and ? if they were interested in buying her, they offered $700 for 'her' parts! was all they wanted :o. They busy doing up other cars and not able to take the job on bla bla  :'(  Anyways will check in again... ::) Thanks blokes, this is kinda cool...  ;D
