More rust than coupe.

friendly_prawn, Jan 15, 7:05pm
haha none of them look to be in very good shape.A good base for some one looking for a project but it would need to be priced sensibly IMHO

No plates or papers. So no evidence they were ever regd in NZ.GL to new owners getting them registered.

picture 1 and 2 behind the ute is a coupe that looks ok

Theres a lady local to me that has a shed full of chevs.shes getting on in years now, god knows whats going to happen to them all, theres about 50of them.

trogedon, Jan 16, 1:53am
Yep re the sensible pricing. The Val. seems like a bargin compared with the other two.

friendly_prawn, Jan 16, 2:24am
Hi Trog, tats probably the most expensive charger I have seen on trademe when you consider its condition.
Now and again some quite reasonably priced chargers do come up. I have seen them lower priced than the barnfind one and all reg and wof'd for sale on trademe.

trogedon, Jan 16, 2:28am
Agreed f_p - I did say "seems"

Looks like a pile of expensive molested junk to me, all of it.The Falcon coupe especially, its not even described accurately.For a start it would be '72 at the earliest, not '71, and it appears to be an XC with XA guards on it!The dash is definitely XC.

friendly_prawn, Jan 16, 5:29am
yep, its all had a real hard life.
You would want stuff like that pretty cheap to be worth while doing anything with.

rayzor14, Jan 16, 5:33am
My guess is that the coupe is anything BUT an XC.
Obvious hints that lead me to that conclusion - XA rear i.e. tail lights, rear panel. XA front guards and bonnet. Column shift - to the best of my knowledge they did not bother with a bench seated XC coupe.
Either way it is a hodge podge of parts slapped together to make (roughly) a whole car.
Correct me if I am wrong but the radiator support panel looks like a 6 cylinder variant too so I am guessing it was the absolute base model of whatever it was at its birth.
IF (and thats a big if) it were an original GT or GS with numbers it would probably be a sensible buy but the truth is it could be anything and when all is said and done it will be no more or less than a customized Falcon coupe if someone buys it and does it up.
As for the Charger - hell for that money you can do a lot better. It is no RT, just a run of the mill Charger which in perfect condition would be unlikely to fetch 30K.
Interesting what people percieve values of these things to be. I can totally understand for example something like an RPO83 coupe in condition like this going for big coin - that will always have measurable value once restored but what is the real saleable value of a customized Falcon coupe of unknown origins! In my view not much more than someone is willing to pay for it and in todays market that may not be a whole lot.

hes an old towie so they are all proberly recoved cars that hes had for years

sfw4, Jan 16, 10:12am
theres a lotta dislike for towies round 'ere. especially when gangs run them indirectly

blackdotlova, Jan 16, 11:09am
What ever he's on i don't want any lol

morrisjvan, Jan 17, 9:03pm
Valuble,! completely rusted out ,all the hard to get bits are gone,no papers let alone reg on hold , and he' s got an attitude ! worth 2/3 of 3/8 of S.F.A.

friendly_prawn, Jan 17, 9:23pm
so you are saying when they were originally stored there they had no value! Doubt it, back in there day they were quite sort after cars. I used to drive my bil's charger and thought I was just the bees knees. I was never a fan of the Ford coupes myself but I know plenty that used to rave about them. Maybe your just not old enough to know.

gwr1, Jan 18, 12:57am
I,d sell the whole pile of rusted out shit buckets for scrape

yeahm8, Jan 18, 1:19am
I recall him advertising that charger a while back, think he was asking 20k for it though, may have been 25k.some ridiculous price anyway.lol

trogedon, Jan 18, 2:21am
NO, they're still worth doing up - but not at that $.

morrisjvan, Oct 1, 8:12am
I agree they were indeed desirable vehicles,but looking at the condition, they would have been fair rooted even when they went in the shed , and with no paper work you will never get them back on the road,notwithstanding the immense amount of work involved to do that !scrap metal (unfourtunatly)
