Great find, it looks as though it has had a Tilly's three tone kit fitted at some stage.

Scotts correct, a Victoria single or twin line by the look of it, HAMFIST, ask the wrecker if he knows where the stripe kit is, front seat looks pretty good, bit of elbow grease.
Good luck with it

If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.

From what I can see the body doesn't look too bad, most of the important stuff seems to be there, having no wheels makes it look worse than it really is, welcome aboard.

It was a Victoria twinline kit - you can tell it is a twinline because of the small piece behind the rear door on the rear quarter. The single line didn't have this. The downside is the body has about 100 holes in it now where the stripes were and the kit is almost impossible to find. I know of less than 10 cars existing with this stripe kit. Did I mention my car is one of the 10  Ken |

It is the twin line kit as Ken describes and when being fitted you could either fit the twin lines or a single line which in your case it looks as if they may have gone for the latter.

This car is also exactly the same as the FE my Dad had when he was 18. It started as a 3 tone, light green bonet gaurds and doors, darker green roof and white boot. My Grand father bought it new and had this done, the Dad got hold of it and it was repainted all one color. British racing green.
Sadly this car is now somewhere at the bottom of the Clayton tip (Victoria). I might be able to russle up a photo of before and after if i pester the old man.
Cheers Scott

Here are a couple Hamfist, it gives you lots of options with the paint    You could easily recreate the strip/s with stick on chrome protecta strips and you have the holes as a guide |

ID tag reads
FE-225-37778-A
trim 266-707
paint 253-7475
RPO 253-7446 TOP

Your car is an FE special sedan (225), and is the 37,778th made at the Adelaide (A) plant.
The trim is Peacock Green & Dolphin Green (226-707) - note your plate should say 226 not 266
The bottom paint colour is Shannon Green (253-7475)
The top paint colour is Biscay Green (253-7446)
RPO stands for Regular Production Options - in the case of the Fe special, 2 tone paint was available as an option at no extra cost.
Later the RPO was dropped as 2 tone paint became standard procedure.
You should also find a chassis number near where the washer bottle is.
Regards Ken

You will have your work cut out for you, at least it is all together, so you know what you have got in front of you.
Good luck with it.
What are your plans for it?
