this is the best unrestored EK you will ever find,never driven in rain,

i,ve been waiting for this one to come out in the day light ,its in a mechanics work shop on his wheel aligner,and comes out a few times a month,its dusty and would come up great with a detail.

HELP,

got these pictures sent on my phone,can have this sunburger torana 6 cylinder,still drives for $300,the missus is not happy looking,

so i want some honest opinions about it and roughly what it would be worth to convince her.

the interior is real good,runs fine can drive, need tyres pumping up.

Heres one thats been sitting at the airport last 2,3 years http://cgi.ebay.com....e=STRK:MEWAX:IT
$450ish

The old EK looks very nice.

hi mate,

the xu-1 is running to smooth for my liking,when i bought the car many years ago it came with a few extra camshafts,and it looks like the one in the engine is a pussy,s grind,which is going to be sorted.

i ,m also going to pull the engine as rear main is leaking,which is the best way to do this ,with box or without?

Mate many different opinions on this,but I would either do what I did in my resto and rig up a frame that slots into your front chassi rail and roll out the whole frontend with motor and gearbox or pull the motor out with no gearbox,both ways are a achievable by yourself.

This looks like a good excuse for a drive next year.

Is it an annual event?

hi johnno,

yeah its been a very long time since the xu-1 has been out,and best of all,alot of people enjoyed the car,interestingly from kids to the elderly.

there was only 1 numbers guy,that was only interested in the numbers,and not the car,he wrote everything down,hope he enjoys himself when he gets home :buttrock:

funny thing the monaro,s never attract number freaks,i,ve shown the cars many years ago and its always the xu-1 that attracts the number people,don,t know why.

and 2 pink EK,s they would have been a treat.

thanks woodsy,

the monaro is coming along slowly.i work on it when i feel like it,its a hobby, so i only do it while i,m enjoying it,when it pisses me off i have a break and do something else.

FC,s are a good looking car also,getting harder to find these days laying in paddocks.

FB EK Nats was at Sawtell (nears Coffs) on the long weekend. Would have been a bit wet!!

Those cars on the truck would have been some of Steve Jackson's cars. He has an amazing collection of low mileage unrestored cars including a factory one off EK 'Premier'.

one thing i,ve noticed in recent times,people are chasing FE,s

craig that EK prem is very interesting, i,ve never heard about it before,do you have any links to info, or pics?

tbm,what kind of truck is that? a diamond reo at a wild guess.the FE is cool,

i remember when i was 15 at baulkham hills there was a real nice 2 tone fc with a super hot sounding red 6,that layed burnouts around town i loved it.
