Title: FE Wrecking Post by: ChrisB on June 20, 2002, 11:17:26 PM Hi Guys,
I have been told today of an FE sedan that has turned up in the last couple of days at the Bargo wreckers NSW. A mate who lives nearbye will check it out and hopefully I will be able to post more info before the weekend run. The wreckers are on the old highway, very easy to find.

FE Special. It is very rusted and the windows are missing the interior is in a bad state. the man said the engine is realy good, he said, he had it going. I got the numbers off the Id plate and it reads FE225. Trim 4/582. Paint 253/6258. and I think its the chassis NO. 48980 I hope this helps. Regards Leon. ;) Title: Re: FE Wrecking Post by: ChrisB on June 25, 2002, 08:14:25 AM Thanks Leon,
My mate got to it on Sunday 23/6 and his comments were the same as yours except he said the stainless trim was o/k. The only number difference he got was paint 253- 6258 top, and the could not get the chassis number. Body ID FE 225 - 18930 hope this helps Regards ChrisB 8) Title: Re: FE Wrecking Post by: mcl1959 on June 25, 2002, 10:23:06 AM Thanks guys - between the 2 replies - I should be able to piece together the cars history.
An original all black FE special sedan with red and red interior. Most likely was a government car originally as they seemed to have a monopoly on ordering these unusual cars. Ken |
