that car was a genuine 1600 sport from south africa.. check my previous link and this one.. its not a mock up car, these cars came standard with all the details you all mentioned.
the fuel tanks were mounted in the boot as per the Mexico, mexico mirrors similar interior to that of a mexico. only difference was these never came with a over head cam 1600 pinto engine and they never came standard with a boot spoiler!

Asking $6100 AUD. What would it be worth here??

Prices vary these days, at that price id buy it! looks to be in great condition similar condition cars here are asking 7 - 10 grand?

I agree the fire damaged mk2 is an import, I suspect it from uk only by noticing the fuel cap which has a black centre, other things are there's no tower strength plates (RS/MEX) only.
The closest thing we had to a 1600sport was the 'Escapee' back in '76/'77, white with matt black bonnet and yellow/red stripes.

So a bit of primer plus spare shell makes it worth this much? tell her she's dreamin

you'd be better off importing one from SA yourself rather than paying for basically a set of tags, some crispy parts and a local shell to put them into.

haha wow
 
seller looks to be making money off buying wrecks looking at their other sales
 
backyard car dealers are the worst..

I like the dog harness though!
 
Matt

thankfully the door trims are not too bad..... carpets ok?

They forgot to mention those roof racks, must increase the value by $25
