Some one pee'd off a customer, or employer, or something. Does it also say "I work night shifts, please call me between 1am and 5am"?

I hope it's an e-bay scam because I just payed $12000 for this. But it did come with a tunnel rammed 351 and recond auto.

No I'm quite happy with it. All the front end has been renewed[ bushes, tie rod ends, ball joints, pitmen arm etc. I knew the car before he got it respayed and it has always been straight and rust free. Has a warm 351 with a tunnel ram and the C4 has a stage 2 shift kit with a 3 grand stall convertor which has recently been rebuilt.

Bit un usual tho this coupe above in the pics, it has what appears to be an early body shell with a later engine bay. Perhaps it has had a new front put on it. Looks good for 12k tho.

Nope there is an early type bay and a late type bay. Just like there is an early shell and 2 later type ones.

She's a 75, I haven't got her home yet so I don't know what month. He has had the coupe for about 10years. I asked him about the water bottle because I notice it was different to mine which is 2/74. He said it was always like that ever since he had it.
By the way Donny have you had any luck trying to sell yours? Or have you decided to finish it. |

mid 75 was the cross over point of early/late xb's. maybe they used early 1/4's when building or they may have been replaced. there are a few differences, but the windscreen wipers would have nuts/threads for late xb and splines for early xb
i have heard of many weird things that have happened regarding parts from seemingly different series of cars. i have been told and have no reason to disbelieve it - that someone has seen a factory coupe that had 1 door jamb with a vent and the other side without. i suppose they just used what parts were available and if they mucked up, they covered it as conventiently as possible |

Toyoya changed the service interval of their Camry from 10,000 km to every 15,000 km without changing anything else. They cant tell you the build date that this change to the service interval occured for Camry because it simply started when they ran out of 10,000 kms interval service books and started throwing 15,000 km service interval books into them... |

Body shell wise, there is a major change between 72 and 73 onwards shells, then of course there is the rear repeater lights in the rear qtr. and the later engine bay revisions. Charcoal canister was fitted from 75 on for ADR 27A as was the repositioned washer bottle. Pretty sure the rear qtrs changed repeater direction mid 75 too, so the car could well be right on the cut off dates for changeovers. When rear qtrs are replaced, they are allways the later type if NOS, or can be earlier ones if second hand off another car. It will be interesting to see the build dates etc to see if its correct. As for my car..... I have had a truckload of tyre kickers and wannabe owners who dont have a pot to pi$$ in, also quite a few fools thinkin I am desperate to sell and will accept any stupid offers they make. A couple of reasonable offers that were a little short of where I want to be price or trade wise. It went to 60k on ebay which I thought wasnt a bad effort. I have added that I will accept payment plans to the ad now, as a few have said this may attract a few buyers who cannot afford the ask price straight up. But basically the plan hasnt changed, I am going to do a bit to it here and there as I get time, and if I get a fair offer on it, I will sell it, if not, I will keep it and finish it and go from there. I will most likely return it to original state too, slowly. The orig motor is going back in for starters, not the stroker. Recently another similar GT coupe sold for over 70k and if you wanted it to the standard of a good car it needs a full resto too. It had paint sweat blisters all over it, rust n bog in the sills and needed a re-trim at the least, so add all that ontop of the 70k and I cant understand why mine dosent sell really. An I wont even mention a recent GT sale for around my asking price that was well publicised recently that is going pear shaped now.

The bloke said it was rasberry ripple, but a darker version. But it dose look like mulberry metallic it justs get a bit more pink looking in the sun. Donny, I thought for sure somebody would have bought it. It's properly a sign to keep her, finish her of and drive her. Then you don't have to worry about getting another GT. Then I can go for a cruise with you a yellow xagt and a yellow xbgt rumbling down cavil ave.

Most of the paints these days give very deceptive looks as to their true colours. This is another one. Def looks like Mulberry in the pics, or maybe a Port Wine hue.
Well, thats basically the plan....to finish it and see what happens from there. Times are tuff and I aint asking a small sum. Virtually what it owes me only. It still amaszes me tho that there are people paying in the 70k range or more for virtually the same car as mine, an these 70k cars are still needing a resto ontop of that, or paint n panel and interiour at the least.... I will more than likely return it to totally standard too, i.e. get a FMX auto and bits, fit the orig motor back in and not fit the air con and power steer etc. If it goes back out on the road as an stocko with the auto it will get club reg at the most and I wont drive it much. Prolly to and from shows and not much else as it wont interest me driving it as an auto. Will be too boaring as an auto, I would end up driving the GT-P instead. The main reason I want to sell it is to get a cheaper not so perfect GT or nice K Code GS that isnt in need of a resto but needs small stuff done that I can do without taking it off the road. And I dont wanna have 100k plus of my spare cash tied up in just one car, I would like to knock that from 100k down to 50 to 70k absolutly maxx and reallocate the remaining money to some other future ideas I have cooking. I doubt I will make it to Wintersun this year now, I have a few other little projects on the go which are a bit more pressing.

I think alot of people these days that by these cars have the money to get somebody else to restore them . So they'll try and by something that together and drive it into the shop then drive it out fully restored. Then they are only interested in certain colour and interior combos. But hang in there Donny someone out there is bound to buy it. But I know what you mean, I've been offered 80 grand for mine and its not in bad nick but its never had a resto. Next time I have someone wanting to buy mine I point them in your direction. :evil3:

Cheers for that. I am not that fussed about if I keep her or sell her.
I have had several enquieries where after they have tried their knit picking, I have told them this car isnt for them and to look elsewhere, some nicely, some not so nicely. It is what it is. Theres an XA GT coupe on ebay right now, needs a full resto and the start bid is 40k reserve not met. Anyone who can afford a professional resto is a rich man these days. Back in 04, 05 this car http://www.grandtourer.com.au/aspx/R...tosubjectid=15 cost the owner 103k JUST for the resto. This was over 3 years ago at Grand Tourer. He allready owned the car then. And that isnt speculation either, I know John the owner and he confirmed that figure to me at the Ballarat Nationals on 05.
