I can't see any reason why you shouldn't post the number here - after all, presumably this car yard wants to sell the vehicles :D If it was a private number it would be a different story, obviously. cheers RET Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: coolaride on August 13, 2002, 01:15:02 AM hey there Denis , yeah ,post the number . i know i`ve done it once or twice before with no dramas and anyhow you might be giving the guy some business.
cheers coolaride :) Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: mcl1959 on August 13, 2002, 06:53:45 AM We published a photo of this yard about 6 months ago in the Vic newsletter when he had 4 (four) FE's and FC's in his yard.
It looked like a photo from the 60's !!! The owner also has a 3 door FE which is very rusty but is supposed to be being restored. Ken Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: FEHOLDEN on August 13, 2002, 08:28:26 AM thanks for the replies everybody

the photo Ken mentioned is one that I snapped in November last year and put in our newsletter earlier this year. The wagon on the right was owned by a member who mentioend to me this yard had a few others for sale so I went along for a look. I'm experimenting attaching the pic from a new addition RET has included sooo fingers crossed X here goes.... Cheers, Leigh Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: FEHOLDEN on August 19, 2002, 06:28:43 AM thanks for the photo, well done
funny thing is that the two fe's on left of screen are the same ones i was talking about!!! so i'm not so quick as i thought. :-[ :-[ :-[ denis Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: Geoffs FE Ute on August 25, 2002, 07:20:18 AM Drove by the other day.The black FE and the white/red FE sedans where still there.
Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: mcl1959 on August 27, 2002, 08:43:25 AM I spoke to Ian today at Autonomics. The Red/White FE has a red motor and is in excellent condition.
The Black FE is pretty much original still with the grey engine. Once again very good rust wise. Prices are on application Ken Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: PTB on August 28, 2002, 10:58:37 PM Seems quite a few know about this yard and the cars in it, yet I haven't heard of anyone who has actually had a look. Has anybody had a close look yet? Has anybody actually spoken about price? Would be very interesred to hear if they are REALLY worth considering.
Pete. Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: mcl1959 on August 29, 2002, 08:56:53 AM Yes - I've looked at them, the reason why no-one has had a good look at them is because they were both marked "not for sale". However I have spoken to Ian as I said above and they are for sale, but he didn't want to quote a price.
Ken Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: PTB on August 29, 2002, 08:10:42 PM Thanks Ken,
I'm interested in finding a car to use as an everyday mobile. What are your thoughts on what you saw, in particular the red and white car? I'd check them out myself but am in NSW. Also, your opinion would be appreciated. Pete. Title: Re: fe's spotted in yard Post by: Flamed_FE on August 30, 2002, 01:52:28 AM It's been awhile since I looked at them (thought about buying the black one last Christmas).
they both were floating around the 3 to 4 k mark White and red did not come with the plates, running a 179 from memory. (I may be confusing it with the cream and burgundy FC in the Pic though!) A little rust. Black is a stockie, used to be a daily driver, black and red interior, carpet, most of the outside chrome was painted black as well (door handles , park lights etc), a little bit of rust but nothing major. Never got around to driving it though. It's been awhile so don't take as gospel Hope it helps Alan |
