car sold :) :) :)

HI , selling my fc windowless panel due to work t/fer , strong 179 red motor , aussie 4 speed , no rust and has been rust proofed underneath , top paint job (ba falcon blue ) , bucket seats , and has a fold down dickey seat behind front seats ,it has a hr steering wheel , but i have a original fc steering wheel in near new condition that comes with it .Bad points  :  this van is unlicensed and has no vin number , there are ways around this but it may need engineering . The van is in Bunbury WA , and i can help with transport , WA to NSW is approx $1400.00 door to door , cheaper to depot . As for photos , i have them but buggered if i can upload them , can email them though .
Asking is $15000.00 but open to offers as this must go . Has been on ebay , lots of watchers  , had one guy keen but i lost his phone no , so Dean if you read this , my apologies ,   
Cheers  Dave

thanks Martin ,  theres no numbers anywhere under the bonnet , the old rego papers only have a engine number which must of been off the old grey motor , doesnt match the 179 , so looks like ive learnt a lesson and will have to go through all the bullshit or put a grey back in  cheers  dave

thanks for the info, now going to look at a supra box for sale $300 , may need to get the bell housing though  cheers  dave

It is a t 50 but i just did the spline count and it is 20 splines which is the weaker of the two so maybe you are right  cheers

HI , WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN HELP WITH THIS TRICKY ONE . I AM IN BUNBURY WA , I HAVE BOUGHT AN FC WINDOWLESS PANEL VAN WITH A 179 AND AUSSIE 4 SPEED , THIS VAN IS IN TOP CONDITION AND IS FC NUMBER 6 FOR ME DATING BACK TO 1973 WHEN MY DAD GAVE ME AN OLD STATION WGN . THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS WHEN I WENT TO GET IT LICENSED THEY HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE MODIFICATIONS AND WERE GOING TO PASS IT BUT COULD NOT FIND A VIN NUMBER , THEY THEN APPLIED TO THE LICENSING DEPT FOR A SURROGATE VIN NUMBER AND RECIEVED ONE , ALL GOOD SO FAR , BUT THE LICENSING DEPT HAVE NOTED THE 179 RED AND HAVE SENT ME A FORREST WORTH OF PAPER WORK TO FILL OUT WITH ENGINEERS CERT ETC , WE HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE VIN , NO LUCK , DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LOCATED OR HAS HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BEFORE.      ANY INFO APPRECIATED   DAVE
