1980 RS2000 4 Door

Not 100% convinced I want to sell this at the moment but thought I might check if there is any interest out there at present.

As the title says I have a 1980 RS 4 Door.

Sno White
Matching Numbers with original service book
Mini lights 205/60
Original interior (Only one small tear in passenger seat)
Door cards ok - no holes
Engine rebuilt by previous owner (unleaded)
Gear box rebuilt
Brakes rebuilt
Carby rebuilt (original as far as I know) also have twin 40 Dellortos with brand new lynx manifold to go with the car
Changed diff (no noise - have original noisy one...)
Suspension upgraded to nolathane bushes (previous owner)
Extractors with 2" exhaust
New battery

Mechanically this car is as good as I have driven. Brakes feel good (for an escort). It goes well, I have not raced the car and bought it for some fun on the weekend and with intention of slowly restoring it to it's former glory. Mechanically it got there...

I have had the bonnet and nose cone repainted and some rust professionally removed from the sills. There were plans this year to complete the rust and bog removal for a full respray but it still looks good without. I am too fussy hence the need to sell or spend too much money. Unfortunately some numb nuts pushed the car by the nosecone while getting the gearbox rebuilt and put some hairline cracks in the paint.

I also have various parts to sell with the car.

I am located just outside Toowoomba. I am looking for $8000 and would be happy to deliver the car to Brisbane for free as it would give me oe last drive.... I really don't want to sell but I would rather see someone enjoy it than it sit in the shed.....It also has about 11 months rego if bought in Queensland.

If you're keen give some notice so I can at least charge the battery....

Cheers,

Matt (0411122774)

    Just thought I'd add...

    I bought the car in 2006
    I have added about 5000-6000km in that time

    I have also replaced the clutch

    Last real drive it had is when I moved from Brissie to Toowoomba and it didn't miss a beat. Pulled up the range without a worry....

    Had a couple of requests for more pics. These are a little old but the car rarely leaves the shed/cover so are pretty much the same. Once I charge the battery and give her a wash I will add some new pics.

    I also remembered I had rust removed from the rear guards. All done properly.

    I do have receipts for most of the work carried out on the car. Including some by previous owner. Do not have engine rebuild details and having trouble with the carbie. May be in the glove box.

    Car also has basic CD player (Kenwood?) and some new Philips (not Alpine - they died) 6" speakers in front (not in doors) and some Kenwood 6X9 in the back. Still can't hear much over the exhaust and I was hoping the twins would be all the music I wanted to hear but they never mae it on the car.

    Car has new battery since I have owned it.

    Have receipts for; rust removal and some painting, new muffler, gear box rebuild, battery, clutch replacement, brake and wheel cylinder repairs, carby rebuild, full exhaust, personalised plates, respray in 2006 (was not by me so not sure exactly what was painted), wheels, tyres, suspension.

    These receipts add up to about $8000....

    Thought it was a low price. Had a bit of interest, thought there'd be more...

    Car is registered in Qld until May 2012.

    Will take the car to work and give it a clean up and add some new pics.

    Can officially say the car is for sale.

    More pics

    Hi Gaz

    I will get some more pictures as soon as I am at home in daylight hours.

    To be honest the blemishes will be difficult to get in a photo. Will try my best.

    Extras include: twin 40 dellortos, taillights, xe(?) lip(attaches to front spoiler), brand new lynx manifold, original steering wheel (pretty average condition), sun visors, tail shaft, starter motor, original air filter. That's all I can think of at the moment. Will check the shed to be sure.

    Will be happy to bring to Brisbane for you. Firm on the price to be honest. Anything less and it's not really worth it to me to sell.

    Will get some more pics up soon.

    Cheers

    Matt
