Title: Shannons auction - FC
Post by: oldgmh on February 01, 2005, 10:24:32 AM
Has anyone had a look at the FC going for auction soon at Shannons in Sydney?  It sounds okay. What condition?  
Maybe judging by the prices achieved for old holdens at their previous auction in Melbourne it may be at a reasonable price.  
Any feedback?
I love the Buick Riviera too - ah well... only a certain amount of room in the garage!

The FC that sold at the Melbourne auction actually turned up in Ballarat.  I went and spoke to the owner and it is for sale.  He paid $3000- from the auction site and he told me he wanted $4250- for it.  car is from SA and has not been restored, but all the same it is not in bad condition.  Aparentally it had rare number plates but when traced back they were on a 59 cadillac which then deemed the plates not original.  He also bought the black FX that was for sale.

The inspection times are this weekend. I'm going to go down and have a look as the auction rooms are only a few minutes away from me.

Hi EDDY
     Does that mean that there will be another FC in the garage.

Probably not. I think I'm FCeed out.

But I like the look of the MG TC and the lightweight Mini Cooper replica...

Edward

MG was immaculate. But at 6'1" I don't fit in it. :-[ Not even close.

The FC ended up going for a little over $7k including the Shannon's fee to a phone bidder.

One of the better unrestored cars I've seen.
