I saw that one on Gumtree myself Gazza I would think that the price is pretty fair when we all know how much we spend getting a car rebuilt and through engineering and being a SBC with all the paperwork you couldn't build it for that.

What a car is worth and what a car sells for are 2 different things :)
At that price I don't think it will sell - it is not in concourse condition,
Compared to this
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1960-FB-Hold ... 339f1a68ed
which has had a full nut and bolt resto with everything replaced or new.... even this can't sell for $10k less

Hey D-Man I agree with you that a car is only worth what somebody is willing to pay I was only making the point that we all know how much it costs to build something to the point of full registration.

Totally agree Neil :thumbsup: but I've had several "vontage" cars over the years and spent a small fortune on all of them and never got a cent back on any.... not that I am complaining just stating the facts :lol:

That was my point Gazza and D-MAN is right as well you never get it back I think if were trying to make money out of it we would all be broke the only ones that seem to make money are the supposed resto shops if we take our cars to them.

Hey Gazza I wanted to thank you again for giving me that rusty sub chassis I was able to get a good section out of the inner guard to repait the battery box area of the other one I had and a section out of the radiator support if anybody else needs any bits and pieces let me know there is the drivers side inner guard and a couple of the K legs are in good nick
