Title: Are these for real? Post by: black57 on July 18, 2012, 11:17:42 PM Hi guys,
Just saw these on ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-EK-1961-No-1-Adelaide-near-original-factory-showroom-condition-FB-GM-/290745936810?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item43b1ceebaa http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Golden-Holden-EK-1961-FB-GM-Premier-Prototype-GMH-000-Directors-Car-Harlow-Gage-/290745889662?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item43b1ce337e Are they the real deal? Are they worth that much, or anywhere near that much? Thoughts anyone? Pinky. Title: Re: Are these for real? Post by: Stash on July 18, 2012, 11:40:25 PM Wow! Amazing. First one was just where I grew up as a kid. I wonder if they take Paypal?
Title: Re: Are these for real? Post by: black57 on July 19, 2012, 12:22:18 AM LOL. Imagine the fees. hahaha...
Title: Re: Are these for real? Post by: customFC on July 19, 2012, 12:33:08 AM They're the real deal.
Not sure how realistic Steve's prices are though. I guess if you don't ask, you won't get. Certainly no others out there. Regards Alex Title: Re: Are these for real? Post by: black57 on July 19, 2012, 08:31:07 AM Isn't this they guy with a massive collection of FB/EKs? Hundreds of them I hear.

Title: Re: Are these for real? Post by: FCRB26 on July 19, 2012, 01:55:22 PM I think id rather a brock torana or something a bit more significant for the money .
At the end of the day its still an ek with a grey motor his other cars have all been at the high end around 40K 1million dollars for a EK really cmon.. This is my opinion only not trying to upset anyone. Pete Title: Re: Are these for real?

Title: Re: Are these for real? Post by: earlyholdenfan on July 19, 2012, 07:22:13 PM Fairly common for Steve to advertise cars that "are not really for sale" at prices that will raise "interest" in the cheaper ones (25 - 30K) he has at upcoming auctions etc.
Once a salesman always a salesman BUT Of course he says it is all in the interest of bringing new members to the NSW FB EK Car Clubs, so good on him for being so selfless! M@ Title: Re: Are these for real? Post by: fasteddyfc on July 19, 2012, 07:29:31 PM have a look on the fb ek forum under the caption FB's & EK's for sale, steve has got some photos of his collection and pics of cars he is keen to sell, some amazing fb&ek's in his collection.
Also he has the ascot grey fc standard for sale on this sight. have never met the guy but have spoke on the phone a few times i think he has eyes in every corner of the country lookin out for em for him..

Post by: Johns on July 31, 2012, 09:30:42 PM As everyone here has been so polite, I feel it is beHolden on me to continue to be so.
Frankly, these asking prices are laughable. Every iteration of the grey motor Holden was slower than the previous one to the point where one of the prettiest Holden's of all, the EJ, was one of the strongest and slowest. And of course then came the red motor with seven main bearings, smoothness and durability undreamed of for grey motor owners. Regrettably the poor old FB/EK lacked the elegance of the FE/FC or the great proportions of the EJ and of course the red motor of the EH, arguably the best proportioned Holden sedan ever. I'm not aware of the vendor's motives in the various recent auctions in which cars have been offered however, I have learnt that that you cant dictate to the market. At best you can seek to educate it. I guess we will see if this education process is effective. John Title: Re: Are these for real?
