Hi All
I am desperatley seeking my dream car of an FC Wagon. Would like one with a HR front end and red motor, the interior and exterior in original condition (not fussed about colours/materials, just want a bench seat in the front, original dash and all chrome pieces). I am a serious buyer, not a time waster and I'm willing to pay good money for the right car. I would like a complete car that I can make my own over the next few years.
If you know of a suitable car (no rust buckets or incomplete cars please) or are considering selling yours, please send me a message.
I would greatly appreciate any potential leads.
Thanks
Amy

Amy If I lived a little closer I would be having a look at this car. Seems to have everything you are looking for with the exception of the red motor. Ebay Item #330365595342Looks can be deceiving and so can sellers, best rule of thumb is to inspect any car you are considering purchasing especially if you do not know its history, or at least ask if one of the club members live close by and can have a look at it for you. Cheers Jim |

Send the seller a message to let him know you might be interested if the deal falls through.
Some winners of cars on ebay walk when they actually see the car.
Regards
Alex

If you are patient... the car that you want will turn up. Its too easy to go and get the first car you see and then find out that you have to spend more money than its worth on it.
I was done on the ute that I bought because i was a little hasty.
You will get the car you are looking for I am sure.
Cheers
Jason.

Extreme patience is the key, I waited for ages for a wagon to turn up in SA. I ended up buying one from Castlemaine Vic, needless to say in the months after about three good ones turned up in SA  |

Hi all,
Found my dream car, thanks to Pete (you're awesome).
Can't wait to get Effie home, thanks to everyone that helped me find her and offered suggestions along the way.
Now I just need a front bench seat....
Amy

Wouldnt be the first time someone is silly enough to import an old Holden from New Zealand.  Seriously though, glad you found your dream car Amy. Cheers Paul |
