Well, I cracked. Everyone says sedans are cool, especially Cam and Terry, but I didn't believe them. Turns out the were half right...

...I've been looking for a family cruiser for more sedate driving so a sedan would fit that bill. A good mate James located one and passed on some detail.

A week later I picked her up from western Victoria and met a lovely couple John and Shirley and their son Paul. They graciously allowed me to leave with their pride and joy.

Now John and Shirley had the car since the early 80's when their previous 240K got rolled so they needed another and bought this car off two young girls in Horsham.

The car had been used as a daily till the rego ran out in 2012!!!!!

The family sedan had been used frequently to pick up the grandchildren too, as the car is fitted with a child seat anchor, perfect for my two year old son.

So now the car is at my place, along with my hardtop coupe, and I've got to set about restoring her back to stock glory!! Dad and I did another epic road trip. Thanks again. Here are some photos.

It's a 10/1975 complianced car with a vin in the 8000 bracket. Matching numbers engine (I think) and a factory 4 speed manual! Extremely lucky. The paint is the original colour but it has been resprayed at some stage.

Where did everybody go????

I get the impression facebook is now the place to be

Yeah, I still check in occasionally but sure has died.

Hey Adam, haven't stopped by this site for a few months so just saw the message.......

I'm not on Faceplant   There's enough to suck the time out of my life without being active on there as well, my wife is on it so I will get her to join the group for me so I can at least keep a finger on the pulse.

I did enter the Rocket in last year's Bay to Birdwood and she went ok, apart from a niggling carby issue which I have since fixed.

We got to cruise most of the run to Birdwood amongst the Prince Skyline club cars, so that was really cool.  We were the only 240k car!!!!  Sedan or coupe, and I only saw one or two Z cars.  There was like a dozen Prince Skylines though

Also did a trip to Victor Harbour towing my bike to get it Dyno tuned there, she worked hard towing that trailer at 110  used a fair bit more fuel than normal and a bit of oil, but was a good trip.  Don't think I'll use her a as a long haul tow car again though.

How are all your projects coming along?
