Righto will do.. Just depends if the son wants to sell it.. The old lady was going on that it was gonna cost her $30,000 to get it rebuilt like she wanted to do.. But it has been sitting there for about 7-8yrs and apparantley she is getting too old now.. lol I was thinking in my head that I would never be too old to rebuild a old holden ute.. lol

The main reason I want to rescue it is because she was going cut it up to make the back a bed to go in her shed, and the front clip and guards were gonna become a bar that the bonnet electronically lifted up and out come the bar.. My jaw almost hit the ground when I heard that.. :(
And the other is because I have always wanted a genuine V8 WB Kingswood ute..

Went to an auction this morning, this is a 5 month 84 kingswood 4 speed v8 very untidy with HX gts dash, lots of bog and a deville front on it, went for $1500.00 i bid upto $750 just for spares
But there was a restored FJ that went for $10250.00 good buying i thought. and a HD prem Wagon unrestored with period features that Went for $10,500 far to much i would of thought.

That is very similar to the one that I am looking at.. The one I am looking at is a 4th month 1984 kingswood V8 + 4spd, has the same wheels except they are silver/chrome.. and its Alpine white instead of blue/teal..

Same colour as the one I valued at $2000 except it had no major rust and had alloy wheels, plus original front and WB U17 dash.

Well it's a no go... The old woman didn't want to sell.. She then basically told us to f^*k off..

Yeah, I'm not angry about it... I'm just dissapointed to see a good car sit under a tree and go to waste.. But you know its the usual 'I'm going to restore it' story..

But what pissed me off the most was that I just started to talk and she butted in and snapped 'NO, NO, NO, NO not selling..'
