Sold.

The FE wagon is now listed on Gumtree with photos.

Hi Rio,

If it helps Shannons valued the car at just under $50k.

I have an FE 5 litre V8 wagon for sale. It was built by Ed Ho and I have owned it since 2008 when it was in the top 10 at the Mt Gambier Nationals. It is set up with a 4 speed auto, Rod Hadfield chassis kit, modified Ford 9 inch diff, HR disc brake front end, frenched headlights, and is painted in Etna Maroon and White. Currently on Club rego in South Australia and registered with the V8.

Asking for offers over $15k. There have been some mods done by a fire in the back of the engine bay, roof lining and dash area. Motor can still be turned by hand. Still a good platform for someone to do it their way.

Can’t seem to get the photos to work here though. Text me and I will send them.

Thanks

Yep. I don't think it has moved since I took the photo of it ten years ago.

None of those are hard to find at my place, just hard to restore. Nice score FATBOY.

Buy them up quick as what is in the shops is all that is left. Sadly mine is still in the post so I yet to see one.

Hi Glenn,

Thats OK. Turns out my family have grown too tall to spend a long time in an FE and don't want to go anyway.

Robin

Hi Glenn,

I may be interested in one or the other. How many do each sleep? I can give you answer tomorrow if that is OK.

These cars were modelled from my 2 tone green FC and grey FE. They spent 2 weeks taking measurements and videos and have come back a couple on times since. I have seen later models and they are much better but I have not seen the final ones yet.

Railtrack Riders was excellent if your into trains and the whole family can do it. You get to pedal rail riders through the rainforrest on a disused track. If you get puffed or slow they come and push you with their motorised rider and you can push anyone slower in front of you.

So, I guess it is for sale again? ???

Hi Laura,

Here is a photo of the FE Wagon.

I bought the FE wagon several years ago from a car dealer in Ballarat. As Ken has said it is not for sale as it is a prized part of my collection of 21 FE and FC Holdens. Click on the image to enlarge it.

Sadly mine are not producing yet due to a delay of several weeks to get a meter but should be done this Tuesday. We did test it for around half an hour and got nearly 5kWh's but it was all adding on to my meter so it is off.

I was just reading an discusion about cooling your panels on hot days to increase output. They were getting 10-30% increases by running or sprinkling water over the panels during the hottest hours.

A small generation unit may be the answer!



 

Actually it was my old ute before it was Scott's old ute and soon to be my mate's mate's old ute.

Slim,

The van was in the Birdwood Museum for 3 months back in 2007 in a club display to promote the 2008 nationals.

Hey Slim,

Now you will be able to stop using my van as your avatar.  :D

Good to see that the collectors are having a chance at all those items and they are not going straight to the scrapper.

I had a look at the car last weekend and collected the numbers:

ID              FC225-16125-A
TRIM          300-847 RIFF RED & BLACK
PAINT         256-7770 INDIA IVORY
INSERT       253-6258 BLACK

ENGINE       603630
CHASSIS     FC15973-A

There has been a lot of work put into this car and it is close to completion. It is actually a September 59 from the engine number but has now been painted as a 58 which I think looks good. The underside has been stripped and painted as has the engine bay. There are just a couple of pieces that need to be painted and some of the interior has not been repainted. As Lawrie says most of the hard work has been done just a few bits to tidy up.
