FBT being wrecked on AFF

[private9]

Hey all,

Just thought I'd post up a link to this for those that no longer venture to AFF, it's an NL FBT that's being wrecked and seeing as some of the stuff on it is mega rare, thought I'd put it up here:

http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11303469

Such a pity though, I think even I might feel a tinge of guilt wrecking that!

Bit stupid wrecking the whole car just because the motor's out and in pieces.

I tried to save it, didn't get a response.

Good luck to him.

[private9]

What are these things worth in good nick these days?

[GUTLES]

he wont post. i want those heads **** it.

Why not organise someone in Vic to buy them & send them up to you?

[vegabass]

What a cock. and the prices are a bit "how ya goin"

The seats and door trims are worth a bit but not $1800.

[nstg8a]

cos im a paranoid **** lol... bad enough giving money to one person i dont know, without it having to go through a second person.

plus theres something about that particular sale that makes me a bit weary.

[xrghiawagon]

The bloke who is wrecking is on here too!

Top bloke aswell! Nothing to be weary of!

[stevo]

Yup, ive bought a few things off him. Good guy

[nstg8a]

ive sent him a pm, so we will see what he says

[jazza312]

interior for the nc. i wonder wat he would take for EVERY bit of interior...

[Mickus]

Messaged him on fordmods but no reply

[SnyperEB]

Give him some time as Im gathering he is not on very often due to his low number of posts.

[LTDHO]

What a shame. Damn shame to see a great car lost.

If only I had the time/space/money...

Want to buy a 2x XR8, 2x EL Ghia's, NL to start?

[SnyperEB]

Ill help pull em apart I love wrecking cars out!!

[EFFalcon]

pfft wayne, 3 of those cars are ready to sell!

[private9]

Someone needs to save this thing! I'm tempted, but just can't justify the price, but I do know that it is still available complete...

[Troutman]

Around the 10-15-year-old age is when models like this are at their cheapest. When XY GTHOs were about that age, they were only worth a few thousand dollars.

In other words, I too disagree with this destruction.

[Sunboost]

He wants too much for the complete car. It'd only be worth about $10k with that many kay's and a non-matching numbers motor (prob wont matter now, but maybe in future by a longshot). That, and it's got 230km on it.

[SnyperEB]

How much asking for complete car Sunny?

[dikyby]

what a waste! he should put another motor in it, (if he can afford to) and keep her on the road. all that hard work, just to be wrecked out! such a shame really.... surely someone could save it from being stripped out????

[Sunboost]

How much asking for complete car Sunny?

It's in the 4th post of this thread, $7k.

[nstg8a]

its never gonna be worth big money, fairlanes never are.

look back at the values of fairlanes compared to their comparable falcons, their worth diddly next to their siblings.


so hurry up and wreck the sucker lol.

[EFFalcon]

I wonder if its Dave parting it out, of if he's doing it on behalf of his mate.

[Parfrey]

there was a good running one forsale a few weeks back for $8500, 7gs for this one is a bit steep. Someone buy it and put it all into a fairmont

Yeah but apparently that one was in a small ass end prang bought from the auctions and fixed up by the FTG guys (Darren I think?) thats what I heard anyway.

[LTDHO]

Apparently he has been offered $7k for it as is!

[Damage181]

If he has looked after it as well as the last owner body wise and interior I do not doubt it is worth $7K, I think the last owners name was Daniel and went under a similar name in most forums.
I want a lot of the parts he has for sale, my biggest issue is it is sad to see a limited edition car which is also a "worthy limited edition" (I keep wanting to post abuse at him), back in its day 195kw, 405nm, excellent suspension and brakes, unlike many other limited cars which are mainly a show bag, full of crap you could bought yourself and wheels looked to be painted with gold frosting. If we had to spare cash we would buy it, clean it up, replace anything not original and put it away for Concourse days etc, my missus is a evil Holden girl and even she couldn't believe someone could do this, we started thinking of the reasons; messy divorce, his Mrs hates it and is posting this up, drug habit. I went with the last one due to it being a FBT.

[someLS1]

Im not into these cars anymore really.... i once thought FBTs were tuff... but even to me thats just a fuckin waste all over a busted motor... if my car popped the ls1 id just drop another motor in!

The FBT isn't fast by todays standards but it wasn't to shabby in its day, especially against any Statesman produced at the time and a much sweeter handling car as MacPherson struts should be left in what they were originally designed for, cheap small cars.
This car is a limited edition, anyone owning one should respect it and keep everything either original or keep those parts in storage, yeah it won't have the GTHO collective value but there are plenty of cars out there that never had any real limited edition or race history which are now worth a mint, HQ onwards Monaro's are a classic example, nothing special in "any" terms but worth a mint now, pre HQ I could understand.

Best of all the FBT does not need the loud exhaust to hide the piston slap noises and the wrong firing order sickness. A bit of tongue in cheek there

[nstg8a]

it must be getting wrecked, he pm'd me and said the heads were sold, but he was gonna let me know about the manifold.

[private9]

Bit of a pity, but it's the only way he's gonna get that sort of money out of it.

[offyaguts]

Well, well, what a nice little discussion here.......seems I am the 'tard' who is wrecking it, and yes it's to fuel my drug addiction.

A little insight as to why I wrecked the car rather than fixing it might let you sleep a little better at night. Back in April of last year it overheated due to a blocked radiator and cooked itself. This was not while I had it, was a mate, and no it was not Daniel who had FBT-04, this is build number 40. I have only had it in my posession for the last few months. It was looked at, heads were cleaned up and due to the damage on the bores from expanding pistons, to rebuild the bottom end to keep all original part numbers I was quoted $3500. Admitedly I could of slapped in a standard engine for $800 odd bucks but due to financial reasons, not working at the moment, having an EL Fairmont Ghia V8 turbo which has had nearly $80K spent on it as many of you know the car, I wasn't in a position to save it.

So I don't feel great about wrecking the car, but, I have the interior in mine now along with some other things and other parts have been sold off. I did have this car up for sale complete before wrecking it, no one came through with money, a couple were interested but I needed to start getting money for it so it is now too late.

For those of you who didn't sledge, stevo, wayne, shaun, johnny etc, thanks, for those of you having a crack, maybe a little more respect in the Ford community

The seats and door trims are worth a bit but not $1800.

I wouldn't be surprised. The BA XR Leather is worth about that.
