FB Yellow/white Sedan Wanted

Hi all

Looking for an FB Special Sedan, in Yellow with a white flash.
Does not have to be a showroom example, but at least, roadworthy and presentable.

Am selling my FJ to fund this, if anyone is interested in a swap?

Cheers

Re: what lies beneath

The only panels that are different are the two front guards.
Ill probably fix them up, and respray them to original colour. They will look sightly different to the rest of the car, but close enough???
I really like this car, but unless I give it a low budget quick tidy up I cant see myself driving ...

To respray the car I would end up pulling it all apart and obviously do it properly, this will be however several years down ...

Re: NSW convoy to Narrandera

just a tip,
if your buying fuel at Yass, come into town and get it. Its on average about 8c per litre cheaper than at the Caltex Roadhouse, Plus its a nice quick break off the ugly boring Hume Highway.
I can also offer my Workshop and tools for anyone if they are suffering any dramas by that stage ...

FX FJ's are a beautiful car, kept in original style. Alteration to the body shape, headlights & grille usually ends up looking like vomit.
The general spent a lot of coin engineering and shaping the FX FJ into the iconic shape it became. I would have to say its the most reconised Holden Model by far ...
