I have 2 cars for sale atm....
 
Need to get rid of my "old" company car as I have changed jobs and will be getting a new company car shortly.
 
2003 BA XR8 Faclon.  Phantom Purple (no fluffy dice yet!) it is the 5sp manual version and is in EC.
It has the 18" option wheels with side wind deflectors and a Hayman Reece HD towbar and the FPV BOSS260 strip kit, but is otherwise standard and unmolested.  It has recently had a new windscreen, new pedal rubbers, new front and rear pads and rotors (not cheap crappy ones either...) the front bumber fully repainted and new foglights and foglight protectors.  Late in 2011 it had 4 new 18" tyres and a new fuel pump (actually 3 but I wont go into that here...)  It has done 156K km and drives beautifully.  Makes a nice cruiser and tow vehicle.  Tows the Escort very nicely and with all the torque it barely feels it on the highway.....  Car will be sold with full 12 months Reg and has a current Victorian RWC.  Ready to drive away nothing needed doing to it at all....  Asking $16K for it for anyone I know but will be going on Carsales shortly at more than that...
 
1980 Escort RS2000 4dr - Midnight Blue (factory rare colour) and has been fitted with a 5sp Sierra gearbox that was fully recoed($1000) not long before the car came off everyday duties for the above company car 2 years ago.  Has been on Victorian CH plates since then.  Engine was recoed by me a few years before that and runs beautifully.  Reco'ed head has a mild cam (to suit the gas research it is on), but is basically just a little more than a standard cam from my understanding with new valves and inserts done at that time.  Basically mechanically the car is EC.  The suspension is also pretty good too, although basically stock. Has nolathane bushes all around, with HD rear springs nad (I think) Peeders front springs with some older Munroe GT's all round.  It currently sits on some 4 spoke dragways, but I have a choice of mags if the buyer doesn't particularly like these... The body is an original 4dr RS2000 Midnight Blue manual car.  It has some recovered Scheel front seats in it with all the correct RS trim etc.  The body should really be repainted as it is faded and the old clearcoat peeling in some places.  There are a few (minor) rust spots as to be expected from an Escort of this age.  The rear arches are showing signs of rust coming back (having been cut out and welded up about 8 years ago) and the heater bubble also has some rust.  The C pillars also have sign of a little rust behind, but that is about it.  The car is currently on Gas Research (an therefore very cheap to run), but will be reconverted back to petrol for the buyer (unless they want the gas...)  The car is fully driveable and does club runs every now and again, but it really is surplus to requirements and deserves a good home with someone who will restore it.  I even have 4lt of Midnight Blue paint to go with it and could provide spares (Have 1 oher midnight blue 4dr RS as spares + significant other Escort parts (understatement!). I am looking for $4,500 for the car and can deliver (within reason!).
 
Car are located in Ferntree Gully (SE Melbourne) and can be inspected anytime in the next week (in between jobs !) otherwise AH or at weekends.  Call Nicholas on 0412 175518 or email on ncharrett@yahoo.com.au if interested.  Photos will be available shortly.
