Sent to me via the forum, please contact seller for all questions.
I bought this car in 1992 in Ballarat and drove it for a few years, then moved house, family, kids etc, and couldn't keep it. For the last 14 years its been up on blocks on a friends property not far outside Bruthen, wrapped in tarps in his barn. The engines the original grey. It's got a pair of HR disc brakes. There's no rust, other than a bit of surface rust where the paint is faded. The body's straight. The photos will tell you everything, really. There's a few bits and pieces in the back including the original manual and a new one. I replaced the tonneau cover and tray floor, recovered the seat, put in a footy heater. that's about it.
I'm not game to turn the engine over after sitting idle for so long.
I'd like to get $4000 for it but I what I really want is a fair price.

Is the ute still for sale ?
From the seller -
Quotea guy from Albury put a deposit on the ute on Friday and will pick it up on the 23rd of July.
PS, please don't give my number out to people looking for cars, I only posted this on behalf of someone else and my cars are not for sale.
That guy from albury is me, cant wait to get it home and get started on it have been collecting bits and pieces for years.
Congrats on it. Don't forget to let us know how your resto goes then!
I have finally got this ute safely home in my garage, after an exhausting 660km trip on probably some of the worst roads in oz.(worst for towing a car at least) The old ute certainly raised a few eyebrows being towed over mount hotham, with some people taking photos(i guess its been a long time since an fc went to the snow fields) and there were a few ice patches that had me thinking it might not survive the trip, But its now home.
The FC has a couple bits of rust (both sides in front of the rear wheel arches, hope this is a rare spares replacement panel!!) but the floors and tray are good. The spare Wheel area is in excellent condition with no rust at all.
I even had an old bloke stop me as i was passing through Omeo to tell me he has owned/restored 3 fc utes and none were in as good condition as this one before he restored them. He also said he has a hr front end i can have so it looks like i will be crossing that bloody big hill again soon.
I am practically computer retarded, so i will get the missus to put some photos of the utes trip on here tonight.
ED.
Way to go Ed. Sounds like you had a hell of a trip.
