Hi Col.
VERY cool. Love the Standards. You got the ID plate numbers? I would be keen to see how close they are to mine.
Love that NOS too. The headlight rims are chrome? The numbers came up as FB EK/225 & 229. What is all the NOS trim? I assume by the looks, they may have been planning on making it a "Special".
Good score,
Rob J

Of course you realize that on this forum you'll have to keep the car disguised  ;D

Hi Col
 Â Magic looking car. Would FB standards be as real as FE,FC's ?
 Â                Hey Sgo could you please enlarge the FC on your logo. It looks like my 2door. Thanks
 Â 
 Â   Cheers Al

G'day COL58FE,

You've scored yourself a very nice car!

I noticed in the photos there is a lock on the drivers side door. I was under the impression that "standard" 215 models did not have a drivers side door lock? I know this is the case on hd/hr standards, utes & panelvan models. What about fb/ek & fe/fc models?

Cheers,
Ben.

Your write Ben.
         Should be no lock on the drivers door on FE-EK

Very honest looking car, you have done well. A little TLC and it should come up a treat, oh and a bit of paint. ;D

Hey Col.
Sweet looking new addition.
I bet that interior was the clincher.

 ;)g'day people,thank's  for the
comment's and interest.as for
the door lock your right on it's not
 ment to be there,but was fitted
by holden from new as the nasco
map shelf and nasco mirror
(not pictuerd).also has a bonnet cable
 lock thingy he reckon's it's a nasco
option but look's like a cable off a
hk-ht to me.this could be true but
 who know's it may have been fitted
 by him but i can live with the mistery.
yeh the trim made it more tempting thank's again,col58fe. ;)

is FB215-4711-S,ENGINE IS B142100,
CHASSIS IS FB48836S.cheer's.pic of

Hi Col.
Thanks for that. Mine is actually FB215 - 108M. It is "Hi-Gloss" black, which is still Duco & is so early, it is actually an FC colour. A bit further into the run, they painted the FB colour, which is Carlsbad Black.

If you want a look at mine, go to my "Homepage". It is a little house picture, just under my name on each of my posts (Click on it). Next to where the Instant message & email shortcut is. Click on "FB Copcar" & there she is!

Regards,
Rob J
p.s. The bonnet lock was an Nasco accessory. I have the complete FB Nasco accessory list here.

And of course not to mention the accessory indicators!
Great car and magnificent find, congratulations

Hi Col, Your new beast looks very similar to mine, I have an EK-215 that I am currently rebuilding the mechanicals on, I am the third owner and it has only done 58,000 miles since new. Mine also has the chrome headlight rims which I believe are factory on the standard sedan unlike the ute and van. Is the color of yours 245 (strata blue)?

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and we can exchange photos.

Good to see another standard saved from the scrap heap.

Cheers
Jason

Hi Jason.
Glad to hear of another Standard. They are my favourites. But, the chrome hedlight rims were not factory fitted. All Standards & Commercials were released with painted headlight & tail light surrounds.
I would love to see some pics. Mine is a Black FB-215.

Regards,
Rob J

Hey col60FB,

Great car, quite rare and lots of potential.  I reckon you should take off those silly wheel trims to keep it looking authentic.  By the way - they aren't worth anything so you may as well just post 'em to me.

G'day All,
Just about the head light rims they are all painted on standards etc. The original painted head light rims are in the boxes that the chrome ones came out of showm in the boot pic. The painted ones will be re-fitted once vehicle is painted. As for the wheel trims, since they are worthless I may as well keep them rather then trying to sell them for pittens ;D ;D ;D.
As for blinkers I think they were fitted up by holden because the wiring looks all genuine, but where the blinker lights in the dash are you can see marks where the metal caps once covered the holes.
Now as for my email address just click on my username and it will list my contact details there.
Cheers Col60fb/ (Col58fe) ;).

This car also looks the same as Ken Ross'car, who is a member of the FB-EK Club. Ken attended the recent Jindabyne Nats in his car.

Cheers,

Graham

Thats interesting re the headlight rims, I guess someone must have swapped mine along the way. Thanks for the info Rob.

I just noticed this pic.  I bought this car about 2 months after Col's post and restored the car (where necessary) and drove it to the FB-EK Nats in 2010 in Narranderra
Here are some pics
