time to sell the EB :(

[montyv8]

well the time has come, i have too many cars and my wife says i have to let either the EF or the EB go:(
they both have their good points and bad points but the EF being a Fairmont Ghia 5.0 won in the end.
you may remember the EB from such threads as "AU motor into EB", and "new front bar". It started life as a humble Gli, and with the help of my fellow SA members, (thanks heaps guys), we turned it into an au6 powered, bodykitted beast. its now dumped on superlows, has USC side and rear skirts, a GT style front bar, moffat vents, fairmont seats, s pak dash, new tints etc etc...it also has a 3.27lsd, extractors, hi flo cat and 2.5" system.
I don't want to let it go as its the most reliable car i've ever had, and always puts a smile on my face when i take it out
I don't have many pics of it handy, as im away from my puter. in the pic i do have its not quite finished, but its complete now.
I'm thinking of asking $4k ono offer for it, does that sound about right? remembering the AU engine is at around 50,000k's (from new). and to the person that said it needs too much work, screw you, you don't now sh1t ;)

[LUXO_8]

4k sounds about right phil, its in great nick, and looks awesome...

you really shouldnt have trouble getting that amount of cash for it.....

make sure to chuck up some updated pics in the thread as you can...so people can get a real indication of how the front looks..

[montyv8]

yeah i'll get new pics when i can, i'm in nz at the moment so they'll have to wait till i get back

[theboss290]

I can vouch for this car and have driven it, it is a very nice car and well worth the money Good luck Phill! :voldar02:

[dansedgli]

Thats cheap!! Nearly makes me want to buy another E series!

[LUXO_8]

buy it dan, i see space for a front-mount!

[dansedgli]

Nah I cant, $4K would finish the torana and the parents would kick me out if I bought home another car.

It will sell easy at $4k tho I would imagine.

[steven95falc]

4k sounds like a fair price champ

[LTDHO]

The EF must be nicer because that EB is gold.

[snypereb]

Do you delivar mate ill have it?

Both very true statements

Sad to see her go Phil, hopefully keep it within the club.

[TuMor]

If it had a t5 id fly out this arvo and throw $4k in your face ^_^.

Can you give more info on it? I can seem to find the thread where you did the retrofit, hows it run?

[need psi]

been in that car many times and it runs perfectly, and as he said its the most reliable car his ever owned, his not bullsh1ting either. 4k thats cheap, good luck with the sale mate,

Ehab

[montyv8]

thanks for the comments guys....
tumor - i put the motor in at least 18mnths ago, if not more... so the thread is fairly old. might even be on the old forums. as for how it runs, it purrs lol. starts first time every time. like i said, its the most reliable car i've ever had, since the motor has been in the only thing i've done to it is regular maintenance, and fitted the cam. with 50,000k's on it its still a baby. never had a problem with the auto either....

as for the "if it was a manual", if it was i'd probably be writing a thread about how sorry i am to have to sell the EF lol

[montyv8]

i'll be posting a thread in the for sale section when i get back from brissy (going there straight from NZ), so if you know anyone that may be interested thats when its up for grabs.

[XRated]

Good luck with the sale. Where did you get that front bar?

[TuMor]

Id be interested in it, for my brothers first car. Just thinking how id get it to Perth, most likely fly/drive back. Also interstate rego, it might have to go over the pits.
Sounds like a good buy for $4000, ill have a think about it. ;)

[dansedgli]

Mmm that bodykit looks sweet.

Its a great buy.

[TuMor]

and to the person that said it needs too much work, screw you, you don't now sh1t

What was that about?

[montyv8]

someone told me they were gonna buy it, then pulled out with that excuse.... ignore that comment its just me being a bastard

[theboss290]

Yer Phill what's that about???

will be sending pm!!

[montyv8]

why dan, do you want to buy it? ;)

picked it up from a local wrecker, it had some damage but all fixed now. it originally had the EB GT shaped opening for the grille, but i trimmed that out so i could have the EA grille, as i think it looks a bit more aggressive. or at least suits the car better lol

shame to see it go phil, never saw your EB in person but i did see the EF and it was very nice indeed...

[EFFalcon]

such a shame to see this car being sold, it looks so touch on the road.
deffinately something i'd purchase if i was in the market for a daily :(

[starkersEB]

AAAAAAGRRRRR Its allmost exactly what I want it but the usuall dilema i dont have enough money right now. Anyone out there want to buy my ED please ill throw in my XM ute aswell!!!!!!

[Mickus]

LOL your ED sounds like a nice ride anyway. Was the AU engine install fairly easy?

[montyv8]

easier than people make it out to be...... mechanically the swap is simple. i also fitted an EL ECU and BBM at the same time, but i must admit without Dan's (walkinshaw) help, that wouldn't have been anywhere near as easy.

[Obriza]

Damn if only it was for sale around july, i would have bought it in an instant! thats bad timing, it sounds better than mine too and i payed more for it dammit.
