KIEWA GREY EK VAN

Post by resto »

I was out at Dinkum Autos this morning and found this

Image
Image
It has a star on both front doors
Image
Image
and the ID plate
Image
and chassis number
Image
I assume the star is from its time with the Snowy Mountains scheme??????
The van is VERY rusty

Anything can be saved Steve - how much do you want to spend ???? :shock: :shock: :shock:
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Anything can be saved, but this van is too far gone in my opinion - it has rust in places where rusty cars don't even have rust - check out the top of the front subframe in the 1st photo.

ID plate from this van would be for sale as well - anyone interested could call Chris at the above number. Around the $50 mark.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why would anyone buy the ID plate? Not knocking the idea, but just don't get it. Maybe it's like stamp collecting or something :think:

Why not collect ID plates? people collect all sorts of things. I don't have the room or the money to collect cars, but I like memorabilia and oddities that go with cars. I like matchboxes with Holdens on them, I lke coasters with Holdens on them and I like ID plates. :D
