Title: Rare??? fc?? Post by: fc4kiwi on June 15, 2004, 03:16:00 PM saw this on e.bay today check out the description???
item number 2482077556. dont know what you would pay for that but wouldn't pay that high overhere in kiwiland for something that looked like that. Title: Re: Rare??? fc?? Post by: nicko on June 15, 2004, 08:51:05 PM had a look at it yesterday and was thinking they must grow good smoking gear on their farm also.
lol Title: Re: Rare??? fc?? Post by: 4hammers on June 16, 2004, 05:22:47 AM Yes, fellas. I think at some stage this guy has bumped his head quite hard. BUT, have a look in the engine bay. VERY original, even the original battery strap. What else might be there? Then have a look at the flash. It is a VERY late FC. It has the rear fin extensions, so the only part of the car that has the extra colour is the door frames & the flash. The seats, even though I bet they are knackered, would have the nice embossed part on the front seat.
But, I have to say, the bit were he say " Bit of discolouration on top of guards would clean up OK", leaves me thinking this guy is on something. That is surface RUST! RJ Title: Re: Rare??? fc??

Post by: HARKO on June 17, 2004, 11:25:48 AM Sounds like an old Hot rodder if you ask me - nothing is too hard ,it just takes time , but this thing looks realy good for a starting point at that price.
Title: Re: Rare??? fc?? Post by: collecta on June 17, 2004, 11:59:45 AM I like how the guy says WOW WHERE DID I FIND THIS ONE. If he doesnt know where he found it, what is he on. cheers Scott Title: Re: Rare??? fc?? Post by: 4hammers on June 17, 2004, 08:33:32 PM That's right Harko.
Nothing is too hard, but even the most optimistic amongst us, would have to agree, it is by no means an "EASY" restoration, nor an "EASY" hot rod. Rob |
