Dead ones I know of four

and a pic......hopefully not the last

 

[Philip Foglar]

These are like an endangered species, so it's great to see them being bought and restored by Fanatics! It means that these awesome cars can live way into the future rather than get trashed and neglected by others! :thumbs:

 

[Sankekur]

There is also a Ice white one that is stolen recovered and doesn't have a cylinder head in JHB.

Not sure if it is the same one you refer to:

10) Another white gumtree one that's suspect

 

[Adi]

Standing in Randburg?

 

[Sankekur]

Sort of, close to northcliff if I recall correctly.

Owner is a towtruck driver (vulture) - assuming he hasn't managed to sold it yet.

 

[Adi]

same one.......busted head.....went to see the car still for sale....

---

engine bay comes in lotsa bits and pieces

---

had that one as 19 on the list

 

[Sankekur]

Cool, have my doubts whether he would sell it any time soon, as he wants way to much and does not want to budge on the price.

 

[Adi]

Wanted R25k last i spoke to him, then R20k....

 

[Sankekur]

Yeah same he wanted when I had a look, way too much considering the condition, as there is not much that can be salvaged without needing refurbishment (my intention was to get the car as a parts car, sports seats 3/4's of the M-tech kit etc)

 

[Andy1GP]

Wanted R25k last i spoke to him, then R20k....

Not too shabby then? Project for someone...

Trust me the car needs massive amount of work to get it to even half decent condition, the most of it being mechanical issues so not really worth it unless you can get it for reeeeeeal cheap (much less than the asking price)

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Mine.
Albeit that its not driving, although with a day's work it could be

 

[Andy1GP]

Congrats! All the best with the new M :thumbs: Can't wait to see it at the next meet

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Hehe
I wish that was the case, but have "owned" it now for a year, driven it for maybe 3 months of that year and already rebuilt the motor. THe motor is yet to be turned after the rebuild.
Its a long story, but is getting sold soon (Hopefully)

 

[Andy1GP]

"owned"

My Bad :bangdesk:

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Ha! Ha!
All good. I just hardly consider it mine due to the time that I have spent in it, enjoying it in comparison to the time I havent seen the damn thing.

 

[Sith]

Good luck with this, Adi. Holding thumbs for you. "The car that good drivers get when they go to heaven."
