pretty good deal be good if there were few more pics
better deal than the gt v6 on ebay at least you can do it up how ya like ..

Nah. Throwing money at a converted 1600 is money down the drain. The last converted 1600 on ebay sold for $13,300. Genuine V6 can fetch up to $30k. Maybe worth considering only to sell the v6 engine and do v8 a conversion. Then as a v8 would be worth in the mid $30's. But even then not at that price. There was a good yellow 1600 project in Perth a few weeks ago for $3500.
Here's one for the escort boys

yeah but by the time you find a good v6 gt at a fair price then throw another 20k + to make it new again and right and only to be worth what you spent on it ... doing up my v6gt has cost me heaps .. id probably rather the v6 clone for 4gs running and then i would be able to do what i like to it different trim any color i wanted bigger wheels etc on another note thought id replace the electric fuel pump i have on mine was at repco and thought it would only be few dollars more for same one .. turns out it was a f...ing joke 127 dollars for the same one i can get of ebay for 25 bucks .. think ill just get a holley low pressure one

Yep V6 original is for the purist. I don't see too much point in being able to say it's an original car with this and that. They all drive the same. Also someone will always be there to say that's not original or that's not correct but who cares. My Perana isn't a numbers matching engine but it's still an original Perana engine. If anyone reckons that detracts from its authenticity then their idiots.

That Escort estate looks cool, but really, he should have hidden the tow truck before taking the pics. With the scrape on the side who's thinking it was an oldies car, they've handed in their licence, moved on or passed on...
He probably offered to tow it away for free, just to help out... Theres a couple of Perth tow'ys notorious for doing just that, then asking a small fortune for the car or its parts.

Someone said he wanted 20k, Im not seeing it personally. 16k was a damn good price IMHO I would have been over the moon with that price - as a seller. I feel better after what I paid for that white one.

Unbelievable I really can't understand if their are multiple bidders. It must be a scam or joke of sorts.

Take away what I believe are shill bidders, and the price probably wouldn't have got that high.

when i rang him he told me 20k thought he was just fishing to hear my reaction
didnt really think he meant it ..
but after seeing 16k and still a reserve on it maybe he wasnt joking ..
if its a genuine bidder at 16 then if i was him id take the money and run ..
but i think it will be back up again or on the other places gummy or facebook etc
and i thought 5 for mine was a tad too much considering i had to rebuild the whole car back up

Going to be interesting to see what it gets. Nice car but old paint and engine problems could be more serious than a head gasket if it has been sitting all this time with old coolant in it. Are those bonnet pin brackets correct? Mine is 4/72 but brackets are different.

It's quite nice. Sort of blown away with the eBay one for $16000. Stuffs up all my perceived values now. People will go on previous pricing and that will for a long time show.
