My dad had about three of these with one of them being a station wagon. Love these cars! 161 is plenty. Tuned and rebuilt it would be perfect. Same green colour for all three. Green. He also had a mint EH up until he died. I had an FC and a EH special. These cars are wonderful. Easy to work on. It doesn’t need a V8 or turbocharger. Original is best. There’s not too many originals about.
what a rippa car mate ,we all had one in fact i had one when i was 19 years old ,got it from Ken Morgan Toyota as a trade in which was parked way down the back ,funny story i drove it from the dealership to the nearest servo as it had f all fuel in it ,i popped the bonnet and checked oil and radiator and bugger me it started up but drove a lil crap on the way home but i just thought it was a bit gutless ,186S speco three on floor ,i drove it for a couple months like that till i popped the bonnet and noticed i yanked a plug lead off when i checked the oil way back when ,jammed it back on and it went like a cut snake ,what a GOOSE
I had a bit of HR in my EJ - the disc brake front end, to go with the other slight mods...... 202, 149 head maxed size valves, cam, dissy, triple 1 3/4" SUs, all synchro box. Was a very fun car.
Great find! So many original parts in it. Even the plates would seem to be original. Vic registration would have been at JU letters in 1966. The plates are worth something on their own. Our family vehicle was a 1965 HD special wagon: 179 c.i. It had a JF plate.
Bringing my old girl from Tassie to Perth in March / April to start on her. About the same nick really - except the floors and K are all good. Gotta keep 'em stock I say.
We used to crash and burn these old holdens and fords. If only we knew. $1000 good price, since covid these things went for $5000 in worse cond. It is nice people are restoring them now.
The Melbourne models needed a heater no doubt. Bet the perth ones didn't get a heater 🤣 oh yer and just leave it stock ..nothing like an original especially these days .hardly see any on the roads here in Perth now
It's absolutely beautiful mate and I wish you the best with the restoration❤ Just a quick question but would you know where the vin number is located on it? My mates got the same model but we can't figure out the vin location😂
It's on the firewall behind the valve cover...There will be a series of numbers and a letter after...most likely to be an M or an S...I pointed it out in the vid...Cheers mate.
