Hi again,

Thanks very much for all your comments and advice, it is very much appreciated.... I'll do some more research and gauge any further interest and try to establish a bottom line...

Thanks again

Hi Guys,

I have had an offer of $3,500 - I really did want a bit more and wanted to throw back to the forum to see if this was possible..........

Cheers

Thanks Guys,

I appreciate your comments and would really like to see it go to a club member/restorer/enthusiast - it has been a very good car and I just wish I had the skills and knowledge to restore it myself so I didn't have to sell.

Cheers

Ingrid

here are some pics of the car:













email me for more information or more photos

Due to a lack of technical knowledge and limited space I am reluctantly offering my 2 tone blue FC Special Sedan for sale. The car is in very good original condition and hopefully I will be able to add photos in the next few days. The car is very straight and as far as I know has no rust. Since buying the car I have had a small rust bubble cut from the bottom of the driver’s door skin, and another small piece of rust removed from the bottom of the passenger side guard (where it joins the door). The man I bought the car from told me it was resprayed and the engine reconditioned in the mid to late 1990’s. I have had the gearbox reconditioned about 1 month ago and it is still under warranty. This car is currently my regular daily driver and is very reliable. To my knowledge this car has been a daily driver since it was bought new. The car still has the original number plates and has never been unregistered to my knowledge. The car has the original aftermarket AWA radio that still works (Although it is difficult to change the station but 2CH comes through perfectly) and I have the instruction and warranty booklet for this. The car also has a heater but I don't know the brand. The interior is original and the seats are in good order â€" the armrests on the door trims have cracked and peeled. The rubber floor mats are also original and have cracked over time.  I have a sun visor that has been resprayed to match the skyline blue roof, but do not have the chrome side clips required to install it. I also have the original roof racks that are also skyline blue.

I bought the car from an elderly gentleman who owned the car since 1960. I have the warranty for the AWA radio installed in 1960 and the rego papers from when I bought it showing the same name to verify this. When I bought the car, the gentleman’s son told me a story about this car being purchased by his father in 1960 from Gelignite Jack Murray. I do not have the original warranty card or anything else to prove his claim. I have contacted the RTA and they have told me that their records do not go back this far so they could not verify the original owner.

ID numbers for anyone who’s interested are:

ID:                 FC-225-10920-S
TRIM:             267-630
PAINT:                        253-2037
Chassis No:       8-20072-S
Engine No:       L562226

I paid $5,300.00 for the car and would really just like to get my money back. If anyone wants any more information please email me. The car is currently located in the Sutherland Shire of Sydney NSW and is registered until 17 October 2004.
