History
1973/74, came off the production line at the end of 1973 and was first sold in early 1974. I don't have much history on the car. From what I have been told by the previous owner, I am the third owner, and I have owned the car since 2013. The guy I bought it from (according to him, the car just sat in his shed the whole time he owned it and was started regularly and that was about it) told me that the original owner was an old chap who lived in Melbourne and that it was first registered in Melbourne and subsequently spent its life there as a daily driver. The old fella was also responsible for all the damage down the side of the car and to the rear bumper that still needs to be fixed.

Along with a ground up nut and bolt restoration.
