If this information is not enough or the car is not for you I suggest you spend $120K+ on a supposed ‘concourse condition’ car or source a rusty Monaro.Then you can spend the next 5 years of your life endlessly chasing parts at swapmeets along with dealing with what’s left of the resto ‘experts’ at today’s hourly rates..
Genuine buyers only please, reasonable offers considered or contact for more details with under car hoist inspection available. The car has had a recent on hoist independent inspection carried out.
