Seller says:

This is a Holden 138 Grey Motor that came out for the EJ Holden.

The condition is unknown, however it is not seized and can turn over by hand.

It would be great for a restoration project.

At the other end we have an FJ FX motor out west - or s it as the seller does not know.

Out of my FX Holden is the grey motor we think its a 132 but could be 138. We do know it was a Repco exchange motor believed to be from a FC Holden. Doesn't turn over been the car since early 1960's sold in as is condition as pictured

Holden 138 Grey motor, doesn't work needs a rebuild, attached is a 3 speed Gearbox... seems to be in working condition, Gearbox is still attached, both original from original 1963 EJ Holden , Cash only on pick up only from the  Sunshine Coast QLD

On the expensive side - perhaps ???  I just paid $2k to have my motor rebored etc - but for an unknown motor does seem steep

Seller says

Buy a piece of Australian history. Twas my dream to this old girl up but my other dream to build my own home takes priority. 59 FC with HR front end, 202, trimatic, banjo diff, LP GAS, bucket seats need work, have an EH sump and pick up to go in, needs floor pans ,left sill rust in usual places sub frame. Have converted rust spots and painted to stop spread. Stripped undercarriage of road grime and painted with hammer coat. Still heaps of work to do but will be worth the effort to an enthusiast. Rear end rust free!

This sedan is advertised as a V8 conversion- although there is a red motor sitting in it one of the photos, but there is talk of a 5 litre V8 and bits in the description. Please save this car from the cut and shutters - PLEASE!  - No I don't know the seller. It's at Goodna Brissy

There is a an Army sedan at Macedon VIV could be a great project -

There are Only " TWO " 1958 -59 FC 217 Army Staff sedans left in existence and this is the only one unrestored and absolutely original in Australia.

Was used as a Military staff car in Melbourne for Top Officers of the day on and off base.

Comes with all Australian Army parts and fittings, 2 way radio amongst other interesting items.

I have original books and manual to go with it.

No lookers.

I want an easy hassel free sale.

Requires some rust repairs to subframe etc but its all original including paint and upholstery and there are definitely NO other 1958 FC Business sedan 217 Army staff cars left to restore.

This is a really early car with low Melbourne build number.

People have said it is the rarest FC Holden in Australia .

Runs well and is complete and comes with some spares.

This is a rare museum piece and should be displayed as is.

Stored in farm shed since bought from department of Defence in 1969.

Has original 1970 rego sticker still on window.

38,000 GENUINE miles.

Clean up and display as a survivor car or fully restore to concourse.

I would leave it as it is.

You WILL NOT get another opportunity to buy one of these rare FC Holden Army cars again.

$7000 or offers.
