Not a holden but 3 months ago i brought a 1966\67 vc valiant safari wagon with 34000 genuine miles on it.coming from out west its rust free,the tyres are stamped 4-69 the spare is original tyre.the interior would be 9 out of ten but brittle even has the original vinyl floor with not a wear mark where the heel rested.i started it after 26 years bent a couple of pushrods rebuilt the carby and it runs sweet as.all the paperwork is there plus accessories pamphlet.the only downside is they painted over the metallic silver and its a horrible beige colour.it is a beautiful old honest car.
Great story keep it running.
The vc also still has the 4 poster bullbar, bash plate from bullbar to back off gearbox,bash plates around the fuel tank,the owner reckons it came from CAL with all the bash plates and bullbar ordered new. The car had all new brake pads and cylinders with master cylinder kit in a box in the back dated in 1993 so i used all them and rebuilt the brakes .the wheel weights are still in ounces not metric.the steel bash plates are thicker than 6 mil but thinner than 8mil so must be imperial size.apparently it was the running to town car i don't think it ever drove on bitumen looking underneath it lucky it had all the protection under vital parts
Post up some pics ...would love to see it
Super cool ride. Some white walls will really suit her. Happy cruisingOriginally Posted by Gunna Do
I will have to get the kids to do it I'm not that computer savy yet.
I remember the term "ground up rebuild" used to be used. However, just as meaninglessly as "fully restored", you just don't know what they've done.
Lol, I remember full ground up rebuild lmao
As for not knowing what your getting its a case of "caveat emptor",buyer beware isn't it?
