Don't know, "can" you?

@@El-Pollo-Loco I purchased it because it has a tip tray and I wanted that but also because I could afford it. At the same time as this vehicle there was a Holden Rodeo sitting next to it with a tip tray too but $23000. This was $9000 and I paid $8000

Hahaha

It's always hard doing a job the first time. I found both the black covers only recently I've also had to do the spindles on my Courier Ute. That was a learning curve too

Everything I've driven is a Cop magnet until I got my White Ute. Cops leave the Farmers alone where I live because they pay the big taxes

I reckon it still looks great and would love one now

Yes, Cosmic Blue

@@jimk7882 I think the owner would get upset if I lost their wheels

To be honest I didn't even notice the wheels because it was the first time I've ever seen one of these. Seen plenty of Panteras

Well obviously I'm just a liar

I have no idea about the wheels

@@NewstartGarageOZ No worries, she's an absolute beauty...! Can only imagine the noise and poke when travelling at 100kmh in top, pulling her back into 2nd gear and squirting to, say, 140kmh...awesome 👍

I agree

Looks like a debadged restoration

@@NewstartGarageOZ Yes, I think you're on the money. As a kid, I recall the Custom having a bench seat, and the dashboard without the extra vent that aircon vehicles had.

It's an owner modification

Most definitely

Yes, it'd be nice

I'm a Ford guy but I've never liked Fairlanes.

Problem is that they weren't making what most people were buying. So they sabotaged themselves

We have one now, it's being China's and America's b itch

It's definitely different

Do you remember what the filth were driving?

@@NewstartGarageOZ Not specifically (16 yo just pulled over! first time) but I think that they generally used Holden panel vans in thos days.

These things happen

The HQ is the best looking one

@@NewstartGarageOZ Absolutley. Uncle had a Kingswood, we had a Valiant both with bench seats but I’m positive both uncle and dad would have preferred this and would have if they didn’t have so many kids. 🤣🇦🇺🇳🇿

My XW still has it's bench seat. I love a bench seat

Yes, wish it was mine

Not sure, definitely fabric on the faces

I agree

Yes, it is

It's Australian made, that's all that matters to me

They didn't allow V8's in these old Holdens for a long time. I no longer live in Adelaide so I don't know if that's changed

I think thos is just an organised meet. Called Coffee N Chrome. For pre 1980 vehicles

@@NewstartGarageOZ Ah. Those sorts of things ere fairly common in Delray Beach, but I've never noticed one going on around here.

I Googled about this vehicle after I got it and most of them have these issues. I'm fixing it. Just lots of roadblocks during the years. I do work on it every time I'm in Adelaide

Jeremy Clarkson can drive a vehicle for half an hour and tell people not to buy it and they get on their knees and praise him. I owned it for eight years but apparently I know nothing.

Taugh me one thing though. Keep your opinions to yourself because people are only interested in hating you for them

@@NewstartGarageOZ You must have been floored by how many views it got when it happened though. Damn. If I could have, I would have kept my '77 VW pop-top forever. I LOVED that car. I did a lot of work on it in the years that I owned it. My little Kia Rondo that I bought when I moved to New Hampshire turned out to be a real beast. I just thought it was affordable, and I liked that it had 3 rows of seating, with the back two folding flat in 4 sections. Very versatile. But then I kept it on the road with minimal investment for 14 years... I'd still have it if my friend's son hadn't caused so much body damage in that accident a few months back. It was still running just fine, but the body damage was enough for my insurance company to declare it a total loss.

@@NewstartGarageOZ I bought my mum's 2014 Nissan Versa Note and it feels like I'm driving a roller skate. 😂

Bet they're worth a bit now too

Certainly is

Most definitely

It's amazing when you compare it to what they were selling

I bought it from Grangeburn Holden. They only had it to sell, so it's not their fault

Certainly is

See lots of desirable vehicles at Coffee N Chrome

Fortunately my arm improved a little bit not enough to be able to do repairs at the same ability as before.

Cool

Did you move here from the UK?

@@NewstartGarageOZ CANADA

@@KenHubbard-jz1vq oh, wasn't expecting that

@@NewstartGarageOZ WELL YA AND AUSSIE'S AREN'T EASY TO SNEAK UP ON ,WENT THERE IN 1970 AND LEFT IN 2017 NOW TIERED IN VIETNAM , 🍁🇻🇳🍻🍺

No Data to gather via this one, that's for sure

So the possibility of me using reverse psychology to drive the prices down so I can get s cheap one to get the parts I need is way beyond comprehension. If you actually bothered to look at the rest of my videos you'd see that that's exactly what I did. You'd also see the videos of the work I've done to fix this extremely unreliable vehicle because at no point have I said "I don't like it". I wasn't going to respond but most of you here have no f'ing idea about anything. Makes me wonder if there's any f'ing thing as Human intelligence at f'ing all, FFS!

They were heaps dangerous because of that issue for one and a propensity to roll. It's their reputation that made me record the video

A unique piece of Motoring and South Australian history

I don't think it's for sale
