Ugh. How long is a piece of string? It is worth somewhere between the very large sum of money that an very good original or restored chrome bumper 70s car with relationship to cool models (while not actually being inherently cool itself) would command, and the zero value based on the fact that it is not completely straight, is badly weathered inside and out and would cost more to bring back than it could ever really be worth.

You might sell it to a Datto tragic for a couple of grand. You might sell it to someone with a very weak grasp on reality for 5. I'd offer $200 and suffer instant buyer's remorse because I don't need a project like that, even though I would really like an old 240K.

I was looking at a roached out sedan a few days ago, no engine, front end suspension, bootlid or bonnet. Rust in rear 1/4s and over the windscreen. Interior in equally poor nick.

It went for about $750. That's what the seller told me anyway. 

You're a long way from anywhere, that's the kicker, also the bonus given the lack of moisture out there.

I'd be keen on knowing a price and picking it up, coming from Orange NSW if you can get a reasonable price sorted.
I'm sure you'd be inundated with messages soon.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
