Its ermine white base model but looks like it was floor shift.
no guards or bonnet with prem subframe. no engine seats or interior. has rusty doors and no glass and has no rear quarter glass mechanisms.
No rust in floor or roof or gutters none around the windows. rear quarters have been flarred. has boot with the shorts alloy garnishes but no stailess trim on any of the car.

I figured between $2000-4000? as it needs alot of work and parts

Havent you learnt anything from that guy that gives sermons at church?...Captain whats his name.

ask yourself if you really, really want one that bad to do all the work to it to get it up to a decent thing first. in my opinion, you are only giving some people such as beaters, painters and trimmers a job, and you might as well just throw bundles of hundred dollar bills at them and run, its less grief doing that and not as much stress in the long run, believe me.
nick morans mate just sold one for sweet F.A. thats was just a hop in, turn key and drive and enjoy deal, which proves they are not worth bugger all anyways(no disrespect to nick, his mate, or that car)so just in todays world, it pays to buy smarter unless you are a major glutten for punishment..steer clear bundybluedog, or buy it for a song, chop it up, and put the money aside for a mock up HO, better value and more fun in the long run!!

A rust free roof alone is worth $3000

Matt

For once i have to agree with you Fortch, even though i do make a living out of it and am far from the cheapest bloke in town.
But I do remember the days where you had all the parts at home or you found them at swap meets .
There was no monopoly on parts of prices , and it was exciting. You would have your mates help out etc..
That is mostly gone today and its all about ego, money, selfishness and status rather than pure fun which i agree is sad .

matthew,
if you read my comments again, this time properly and even better if you read them before puttin down 6-7 long necks, you will see that i was thinking and stating along the same lines, and that was to get it and cut it up and sell the 40yr old fatigued metal to someone like yourself..who will put it to good use..it aint worth $3k, but thats what you may certainly get or maybe not get for it..

even better for you bundybluedog...no need to dik around with old junk..

As with anything that has the word "value" attached, it is a personal decision as to what you think it is worth to you. As far as an HK Monaro goes, come Christmas this year you will be able to buy a brand new bodyshell with all hang-on panels for around $20,000. Again, if you feel this is good value then go for it.

We differ in opinions we wreck, no need to get personal. I havent touched a King Brown in years. I was only joking.

Your a Ford man, Im a Holden man. We are never destined to get alone on a Holden/Ford website. :)

In my opinion $3,000 would of been a good buy IF you were chopping it. If you were restoring it, maybe not. Spend $15,000 on a neat GTS.

matthew, matthew,

i wasnt getting personal, only if ya bein a donut, i love stirrin ya and i wanted you to bite, but yanno, maybe im a dill somtimes..lol

im a staunch GM man, even my phone number is all GM eng numbers, but im a realist, and as much as i dont like it, ford in OZ have the only true muscle cars, and when it comes to HK-T-G values and what people think they are worth, i love argueing the myth of the HK value, rubbing them up and then running away leaving them grumbling like mutely..hahahahahah
schmudder, fundder..grrrrrgrrrgg gummmbblly...hhahaha

God bless America, they gave us burgers, weight watchers, chevelles, vettes, 427 side oilers, Big block Chev to put into HQs and finally Beyonce..
