Yup, Standard on all FB Specials both Sedans and Wagons. They were never offered on any other model and were never an accessory.

Most EK Owners wish they could have FB parts, so your not alone.

shit yeah they look heaps better on ek's anyway;
they were originally designed for the new and
exciting model after the fb but were put on the fb
to make it sell faster so they could get on and make
a better faster holden the EK

Sorry mate, NASCO offered Electric wipers for the FB. It was released with it's own part number and are fitted to my FB Station Sedan. (and NO it is NOT the later EK Wiper motor). "2" Speed Electric Wiper Motor for FB Holden Part No: 7418909
You got me on the Hydramatic. Like I said, it's the only thing NEW on the EK over the FB of any consequence.
Missing the Automatic/Hydramatic doesn't in the least make me feel inferior.

Hi Jay,
Mate, it not really a debate i's just shit stirring, both model are great. Only FB are way better!
The NASCO wiper motors are a rare item and to be truthful I have only ever seen three in all my time playing. The original vacuum wiper switch controls the two speed with the wire cable sliding the two stage electrical switch on the actual wiper motor.
Sorry I don't have any spare to sell.

on how many would be still around

I think you are thinking of maybe the plastic/perspex rear window weather Shields. Also these were done in aluminum but were only slight.
The only other thing I can think of are interior roll down blinds.
SunnyTim might know of something different from earlier FJ's etc.
Regards, Smooth

FB's are better

Just keep trying to convince yourselves that EK's are better than FB's, but when it all comes down to it "you can't polish a turd" so best you just stick to your shitty EK's and just leave the FB's to people that have a bit of style and taste.
