Here is a shot of my Dads FC when he first got it. It was a well optioned demonstrator, that included radio, mudflaps, grille badge, bonnet bird & alloy wheel trims. He added the little nodding dog accessory in the rear window ;D!! He had it for a few years, but then sold it. I tried to track it down & was successful......kind of....It was totalled a few months before I found it & wound up at the Hobart tip :'( :'( I love that colour scheme. Rob J Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: 4hammers on July 17, 2004, 08:22:37 AM Here is my first FC. It was a very run down, but original car. I restored it (My first go), but in this shot had not put the side trim back on, due to lack of correct clips :-/.
This car was sold when I needed a wagon for my first born, but disappeared. I have no idea where it is. Engine bay was fully chromed. This is the car I set on fire while welding in floor pans :o :o Rob J Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: Burnsy on July 17, 2004, 09:55:47 AM Here it is bright and shiny, years ago before they had grass on the oval, tough back then in 1999 in Queenstown, played on gravel!!

Dad's FC bought in 63 for around 1000 pounds and sold in 70 for $300 and now he wants it back ;) (http://img76.photobucket.com/albums/v232/EKBurnsy/Dads_FC.jpg) Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: customFC on July 17, 2004, 10:02:58 AM Here's a pic of the second FC I owned.
Unfortunately it was stolen and never seen since. There is a thread in the real cars section that has more pics.

Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: Tailshaft_Tim on July 18, 2004, 09:46:02 AM Unfortunately, these aren't cars I used to own, but cars I "coulda-woulda-shoulda" had. Well, according to my Dad anyway, I was " supposed" to inherit the old family car as my 18th birthday present, had all survived.
(http://photo.starblvd.net/Tailshaft/2-1-2-1091164758?m=1&pg=1&ro=0&co=1) (http://photo.starblvd.net/Tailshaft/2-1-3-1091165774?m=1&pg=1&ro=0&co=2) (http://photo.starblvd.net/Tailshaft/2-1-4-1091166385?m=1&pg=1&ro=0&co=3) (http://photo.starblvd.net/Tailshaft/2-1-5-1091166531?m=1&pg=1&ro=0&co=4) 1st is Dad's EK, before and after shots. 2nd is the R/T Charger the family had when I was born - unfortunately, whilst we were living in Malaysia, it was stripped whilst it was in supposed safe storage back home! 3rd & fourth cars were our family transport when I was a teenager, 4.1litre Cortina & GTR XUI (which Dad didn't let me drive on my L's). When I got my licence at age 17, I went against the family taste for 'faster' cars and bought the car that I'd saved for since I got my first paper round at age 10: a stock FC (pictured left). Later, I bought a modified FC wagon (after I accepted that a little more speed can't hurt). Obvious question is “Why the F*** is there a F*** in the photos?” - this is another "coulda had" story. Once we got back from Malaysia to find the Charger stripped, we went used car shopping at Parramatta Rd. We found a tough red & black SS Torana Hatchback which Dad put a deposit on immediately. When we went back the next day to pick it up, the Holden Dealer had sold it to someone else for more money! Dad was so p*ssed off with them that he went straight to the F*** Dealer and got the Cortina instead (of course, he later wished he’d just waited for the next Torana and eventually got the GTR-XUI which we restored). Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: robbzfc58 on July 18, 2004, 10:39:51 AM OUCH !! Tim i prefer the stock look of the ek in the 1st pic. real nice charger & xu1...oh yea the cortina...its yellow ;)

Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: 4hammers on July 23, 2004, 09:43:08 PM Sweet.
Mate, Charlie certainly had the "Moves" back in those days, what happened to him?? An Accountant? Odd. :-/ Also, there are a few rules on the forum & one of them is not to mention the FJ Van to Trev. I know he has spent countless nights crying himself to sleep on his pilllow, after evenings spent drowning his sorrows in his VERY cool car bar area / BBQ area. Bloody good excuse to utilise the ammenities if you ask me ;) Here is another shot I found of pair of FC's. This was only taken probably 2 years ago, but both have now been sold. Ace got the ute & My Bro` got the wagon.............Maybe I should get one of those areas Trev has for consoling himself ;D Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: 4hammers on July 23, 2004, 09:46:49 PM DOH!!!!
That bloody "&" has done it again. Here is the photo, renamed & the "&" taken out!! Rob J Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: zulu on July 23, 2004, 10:22:03 PM Hey Trev, What about a pic of your sons Monaro, it should be classified as an old Holden by now, 30 plus years old.
Gary Title: Re: other old holdens Post by: robbzfc58 on July 24, 2004, 07:25:04 AM rob your right...cried myself to sleep again last night...thanx to you seb ::) its not that the fj was better than the fc...i just want em both!!
