Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Has been garaged and under cloth sheets for the last 8 years, only has I think 50,000 or 60,000km on it.

Leaky everywhere in the engine but not a spot of rust aside from under the rear bar a bit.

:cheers:

Sedan or wagon?
Colour?
V8 or 6?
Pics?
Auto or manual?

Edit: Price?
Does the odometer work as the gear in the cluster that runs the odometer on those decompose over time rendering the odometer unoperable? Can be replaced, but if it doesn't work KM's could be wrong.

1981 XD Falcon
3.3 Straight 6 (smaller motor, was hoping for the 4.1 but checked codes and it's engine code L which is the 3.3)
It is blue in color, paint is in excellent condition as its always been garaged.
Sedan
It's auto unfortunately but it will be my brother's car anyway.
Price: $0

The odometer has 80,000ish kms on it and car hasn't had rego since I think 2006, barely driven in the years before that as the fella that had it couldn't drive very far. Either way the body is in excellent condition. Engine we will soon find out.

Don't know if it is working yet. Car is still across the road in the garage and we couldn't move it this arvo because the tyres are too flat to be able to move it from where it's sitting, let alone up my driveway.

Had a battery in it and all the lights on the dash light up, still has some fuel in it lol.

Tip a bucket of water over the windscreen and check how much ends up in the footwells lol!

Those things are notorious for rusting out under the vents below the windscreen.

Serious f**king shitboxes tbh lol! But if it's free :cheers:
