Hello,
I am new to the forum but not new to old Holdens, having owned a few over the years & currently own a 51 FX sedan. I am thinking about selling the FX and would like a FB wagon, one that I can use every day. I am looking for a tidy wagon, it doesnt have to be perfect as I am willing to do some restoration work. Grey motor preferred & manual box, if its got a red motor fitted I wont complain, but I will change it back to a hotted up grey in the future. Please let me know what you have, I would like to spend 6 to 8 grand.
Thanks,
Regards David.

G'day mate, welcome to the forum good luck with your search , and we need pics of the humpy

Thanks mate, Heres my old girl...

Nice.
Are you in East Bentley?
If so I have admired your car when I was your garbo.

Yes, thats me. I have owned the FX for 22 years, now its time to let someone else enjoy her. If I can find an FB wagon it would be more suited to my 3 children and the Misses. (I could have an EK wagon, but my mother purchased a brand new FB in 1960 so I rather a FB, but will take either.)

Stick to FB's mate, they are WAAAAAAYYYY better than EK's

My Dad had a EK with a hot grey motor in it back in the 60s too. I have been collecting up Grey motor spares now for years in prep for my own hot grey, I have a Speco triple Stromberg set I am itching to use.

Great Period pic

I am still looking for a good fb/ek wagon. There was a few on ebay & gumtree & carsales for a while but they seem to have all dried up.

That always happens when you are ready to buy.

I am still looking.
I would be willing to do a swap with the FX if someone comes up with a decent wagon.

I sold my FX today so I am back on the hunt for a FB wagon, please let me know what you have.
Cheers

There was a farm auction up this way the other day
and a very average FB sold for $ 26,000

yeah seems to be way to many numbskulls have gotten on to the clearing sale thing and think they are getting a super special "barn find" yet you still hear of some apparent bargains just recently i heard of a HG monaro selling ridiculously cheap at a clearing sale
