Wow,
What a find.

Great colour combo.
Ric

It’s a nightmare mate, too bad it’s not the same as the FB EK forum, as that is easy as.
Ric.

Yeah, c’mon Vern.
We are all drooling now 

I’m not advertising it at all, but would pass it onto anyone on the forum, needs to go to an FC lover.

Yes,
We would all love an FC survivor wagon for $20k 

Asking $32,000.00.

Bear in mind, fully original one owner with paperwork etc.

Running driving car, never been out of rego.

Look back in the posts, you will see all the pics a chap posted for me.

Awesome.

Any pics?

For some reason Rio, I can’t post any images on here.

Please txt on 0409194725 & I will send some pics.
Alternatively you can email me on patrick.ryan@udtrucks.com.au

Rio,
If my car interests you, it is now ready.
1 owner, original paint, original interior.
Ric.

Rio,
Vern is right.

At your price range and even at $20k, you may be just paying to inherit huge problems.

My 1 owner FC will be available when I finish doing what I’m doing to it.

Just jump in, drive and enjoy and put a car cover on it.
Ric.

Exciting times indeed.
Looking forward to this 

Gents,

I have contact with a private guy who is happy to carry parts etc etc.
great guy and has done a few jobs for me.

Call Duane on, 0417414419

Oh the memories Harv 

Been there and done that a few times.

Very very beautiful work mate.

I’m just near Penrith Rio.

Ric.

Hi Vern.
Will do, thank you for this.

What are the details off the carby you need?
Is there a model number on it?

Clay,
I have found a bloke who has a few old Carbies, he is happy to assist when he returns from his travels.

This is unusual for me, there isn’t one part of a car I’m not familiar with, well that’s what I thought lol

I have put hundreds of kits through these carbies over my 45 years working on cars, but none of them ever had an issue, well except for the odd warped base, or needle and seat.

I guess it just goes to show how robust these very simple, but extremely efficient carbies are.

Gents,
Thank you again for your advice on all of this.

PS
My FC sat around in a mates local workshop for a few days while getting a pink slip, wheel alignment and tyres.
He said the interest the green FC generated was amazing lol.

Thanks for the explanation chaps.
Looks like my car is a late 58 build, 59 delivery.

Gents,
What was the difference between 58 & 59 rear fins etc?

Ric.

 Ow THAT is one beautiful and stunning FC Vern.
Top job mate, and enjoy the cruising.

Clay,
Thanks for the tips, and Vern thank you for offer, yes please that would be great.

Yes,
I think by the sound of what he mentioned, and that I found the idle up linkages completely frozen, I’d agree it’s stripped.

Does anyone know if any carby specialists would still stock these parts?

Hi Clay,

Yes I would say, that is what is wrong.

There is no movement of anything else except the choke butterfly.
