Title: FC Holden Convertible
Post by: JohnArge on April 22, 2018, 03:29:15 PM
My name is John Argentino. Back in 1967, my uncle created an FC Holden convertible. He recently died, and it has spurred me on to try to find if it still exists. The Rego used to be JPK 011. That rego isn't valid any more. I think i was once told that it may have gone up north. John Wanner has a convertible but he had that done himself. When you google FC Holden convertible, another one shows up. There's no info on it, but if you hold the mouse over the photo it show up pintarest.com. I tried that website but it looks a bit obscur.
If anybody can help me out with some info, i would be very grateful.

Hey John.
A google search should bring up some convertibles, as there are at least 4 on the road at the moment.
There were several convertibles back in the 60/70's and most have not survived.
There is one that is believed to be a survivor and not a recent conversion.
It has some specific mods that could be compared.

When first put back on the road after being found in a chicken coop.

A change in paint colour.

I believe this is probably the same car today.

Do you have more details and/or photos?
Colour? mods? etc.

Regards
Alex

Hi Alex, I've just sent you an email with photos (I didn't know to do it on this forum). One thing I didn't say in it is that the original colour was a creme colour. I've mentioned some mods that were done on it back in the 60s. I'm assuming the email address that i sent it to is still valid.
