1968 Ford Falcon XT GT – One owner from new

No longer available

One owner from new – this car was bought when the owner was 21 years old – he’s now 75 and the time has come to give this beloved Falcon a new home. He and his father bought a pair new GTs together from Ford dealer Lynas Motors in Perth. The car has been cherished ever since.

It was his only car for the first 5 years. The GT remains notably original and correct. In the mid-1970s he had air conditioning fitted (which still works very effectively today) and high-quality fitted sheepskin seat covers, which he advises have never been off. His wife found the car’s acceleration so strong that a (removable) headrest was fitted to the front passenger seat… A Venetian blind on rear window has been there from new.

The owner was a founding member of the Falcon GT Club in WA but has not been active in the classic car scene for a few years now.

Twenty-five years ago the body was stripped and repainted by a reputable painter, now retired, in its original Polar White colour. The owner had the engine rebuilt at the same time as a part of the car’s mid-life makeover. He confirms it remains a matching numbers car.

In addition to the original purchase documentation from Lynas Motors, the family have photos of the GT in the early days.

The car is remarkably original, and has never been restored as such. Interior is good condition, not restored and shows its years of use in some areas. Exterior has rust bubbles showing in bottom corners of doors, LHS sill and RHS lower rear guard. There are a few small paint chips which would be easily rectified.

The 302 V8 rumbles very nicely and provides easy performance, still impressive 54 years after the car was built. There can only be a very few XT GTs still with their original owners – there’s every possibility this is the last one. The car also has the benefit of never having been customized, unlike so many others. It offers a very special opportunity to obtain a car bearing one of the most iconic nameplates in Australian motoring history.

1995 Mistubishi Lancer CC GSR

The Lancer GSR was a game changer when it was launched, bringing turbocharged all-wheel-drive performance to a reasonable price range and Australia was one of the first markets to get the car. Enthusiasts embraced the model which lead the way – assisted by Mitsubishi’s strong rallying success.

The owner of this car bought a Lancer GSR when they were current, in the same metallic Astoria Green colour and had a great ownership experience with it. When the car was a few years old, it was sold and replaced with a newer car. He always had very fond memories of it and many years later, the chance to buy one as a classic came up, so he grabbed it. This car was sold new in Perth by Leederville Mitsubishi to a Wembley Downs owner, and retains the dealership stickers and handbook compendium, complete with service book and handbooks.

The original owner kept the car for a few years then the second owner (having also bought it from Leederville Mitsubishi) had the Lancer for 22 years before the next owner who had the car for less than a year when the current owner purchased it. The long-term owner had the car slightly lowered and fitted a set of aftermarket alloy wheels as well as a sports steering wheel. The original alloy road original wheels and steering wheel have been retained and will be sold with the car. On purchase, the current owner treated the car to a full service including replacement of the timing belt and water pump. He also had a new set of tyres fitted.

He says proudly of the GSR “everything works and it’s been 100 percent reliable”. The car starts perfectly and runs very nicely.

The Lancer presents very nicely inside and out. It’s quite evident that this has been a well-loved car.

Today the car shows just over 121,900km, and it is clear upon inspection that it is in fine fettle throughout and an outstanding example of this iconic model. Many Lancer GSRs were customised over the years and it’s refreshing to see such a tidy and correct example, which is a real rarity – and points to a future as a collectors’ item.

1967 Jaguar 340 Automatic Saloon

This car was in long term ownership of an enthusiast who passed away a couple of years ago, so is now being sold. Following a period of not being used, the car has been recommissioned and runs very nicely. The engine purrs like a Jaguar’s should.

The car is good, but not perfect and would benefit from attention in several areas. The bodywork and paint are very nice, though some adjustment is necessary to get the doors shutting flush. Some of the chrome on the car would benefit from being redone.

Inside, the upholstery is worn, but not damaged. The carpet would probably be replaced but possible deep cleaning will bring them up. The woodwork is fine as are most of the fittings. There are small details such as the felt door seals need replacing and some parts are a little ill-fitting. The radio and its speaker have been removed, and not replaced. Some detailed attention to the interior would give the car a real lift.

The car has good Pirelli white sidewall tyres and the spare wheel matches – a wire wheel, with white sidewall tyre. The tools and jack are with the car. There’s a small quantity of new parts which will go with the car, as well as the handbook.

An excellent opportunity to buy well, and enjoy driving as upgrades are done.

1990 Mercedes-Benz SL 320 -SOLD

This car was privately imported from Hong Kong several years ago by the past President of the Mercedes-Benz Car Club. He sold it to the current owner some 9 years ago, but he’s made little use of the car.

It is in need of some love… The roof doesn’t work (though the fabric is intact), the paint on the bonnet needs re-doing and the rest needs polishing, there’s a problem with the instrument cluster – and another cluster goes with the car. The owner advises that sometimes the windows don’t work.

However, the car starts instantly and runs well and the odometer shows a mileage of just 66,000km. The car is fully registered.

The SL is complete, straight and sound. It wears AMG 3-piece alloy wheels. But it needs someone to give it the attention it deserves…

The owner is very realistic and ‘motivated to sell’, hence the asking price is just $15,000 ono. An excellent project for someone with some skills and the desire for a stylish Mercedes Sports…

1937 Vauxhall GY ‘Sloper’ – SOLD

This is a very special car. The large, luxury model 6-cylinder Vauxhall, with a body by Holdens, the rear section of which is exactly the same as the famous “Sloper’ bodies fitted to American GM products by Holdens at their South Australian factory. Just 51 were made in 1937 and this is the only one on the rod today – anywhere in the world. There’s just one other, non-running survivor.

The super-stylish Art Deco inspired 2-door bodywork makes this car very special – but so does its very high level of restoration. The car has won awards since its completion. It was sold new in Western Australia and was previously last registered in 1967.

There’s a record of the car’s restoration and a quantity of spare parts to be sold with the car. The numberplates 37 GY go with it if sold to a WA buyer.

With a 3125cc OHV 6-cylinder engine, 4-speed floor shift transmission, hydraulic brakes and independent front suspension, the GY was an advanced design and made a great touring car.

This fine example offers great potential for years of use in club events and will always be centre of attention for its uniqueness… A very rare opportunity.

1967 Lotus 7 Series 2 1/2 – SOLD

A really well-sorted Lotus 7 with period correct Ford 1600 GT engine, fully rebuilt. This car has been thoroughly restored by the current owner, with suspension, brakes, engine, gearbox, steering, electrics, etc, all reconditioned for use in motorkhanas. Rollbar, harness points, towing points and new competition tyres on wide Elan wheels all fitted for this purpose.
