Found this in a council Depot in Outback NSW today. Bought it for $100.00 yes $100.00.
No rust, no windows, interior complete & needs redoing. Car was registered and driving two years ago Till it ran into something hence the panel damage. Matching number 850.
Bought it for parts but am thinking its too good for that. What do you all think. Is this a rebuild project ???

Thats what I thought, couldn't believe the price when I asked what he would take for it. Really, except for the panel damage on the front, which i reckon would be an easy fix there is nothing wrong with this car. Theoretically it should start with a battery. It was originally "Acacia" which I presume was white.

I think I'm getting excited about the prospects of a project. Not the least of which will be the road trip to go and pick it up !

Well, it gets a little better. The owner has spare windscreens front and rear so is throwing them in and also a second engine so it is coming aswell.
Have organised a local truck driver who does weekly runs to Sydney to put it in the back of his truck and he will deliver to my door.
