yep found it I emailed this guy some 3 years ago on another site said he had the gt in the corner was great condition motor was out of it etc .. I said id like to see it he never ever got back now it turns up ..at 15k its a non goer and needs work ...is it worth that ..how would I know ?? rods drove up here from Tassie I trailered mine up here as gunna is with his gts ... but 15k ...none of my business cheers davo

Davo why would I say it was there if it wasn't I said it's there so it finds a good owner as it deserves to be on the road Anyone that really wants it and prepared to pay for it will find it. Its location of sale was broadcasted.

all good just at the moment they are coming out the woodwork ...a lot of car movements ....im happy mine is tucked into bed waiting .....cheers davo

Here ya go...Norm Vearing, Wagga, $15k, that's all I got:

it's amazing how many GT's have been 'found' lately......... when i first started in Belletts back in the 70-80's you just couldn't find any at all......

all details on facebook put in his name you may have to sign into the old 80s etc cars first ..its an original old thing motor is out of it has only been used for 3 years then stored 50.000 miles ...it needs $$$ on it but its an original old thing plastic doortims etc and a swag of bits with it wonder if he does trade ins ?? for my mazda /cheers davo

If I had an extra 15K to play with , it would be worth that to me

theres a lot of gt.s coming out of wood work ... ....im a bit confused ....people say they want a gt in there collection but I only received 2 phone calls ...for my sale of gt ....not that many people want them

Wow, Norm from wagga,

I spoke via phone to him in the 90s to buy back the GT motor from my brother's crashed/rolled/wrecked GT from 1980ish.

Great guy.

And damn, I could have visited him on the way thru Cootamundra over Easter. Such is life

Can someone post a link please? I've looked everywhere over the last few days but zip.

And no, if I buy another GT in this millennia I'll be shoot at dawn for a month.

Oh yes!
I remember Norm Veering from Wagga Wagga.

He kindly helped me out with a Perspex emergency screen for my sedan back in 1983 ish at our first big interstate Bellett meeting there. I was almost at Wagga and was following believe it or not ..a Gemini ...not part of our meeting....when it threw up a stone and frazzled my windscreen. Those were the days I'll post some photos of that weekend meeting when I get the album out.

So Dean, I guess you have collected a car for each of your boys now?

Cheers, Lewis

Yes they do want one, but no one wants to pay any more than $500 for one, they thinks it's still 1970. and as for 2 door Falcons . almost as rare as Bellett gt's these day.

Yes Lewis, I now have one for each boy and the convertable for the girls. I dare not push it any further or I'd be talking to Norm yesterday.

I concur.

I would have called Rod but already have this year's quota filled.

And some wish they still lived in the 70's but nothing is wrong with that

a spare.... plenty of room in the shed.....

Thanks for the encouragement Glenn but there are only so many body parts left that can be sawn off with a blunt butter knife

Living in the '70's was fine, but in those days you could buy one for $500 and then restore it. but now buy for $15000 and spent another $15000 on it, and it will be worth $20000, we all convince ourselves we can rebuild it for nothing.

Alright...I'll say it...

...I bought mine for $12k, have spent $12k on it and, having done a number of shows, stock GT's don't raise much interest from anyone other than Bellett fans, so if I put $20k on my car now it would take a long time to sell.

Rod, had you been a couple months earlier I would have gladly paid $15k for yours and on-sold mine to a friend. Poor timing for both of us, unfortunately.

Rod mate, I just think your car sold so quickly that many were unable to check their finances!
Plenty of us agree that the value is rising, and rightly so, but it doesn't mean we have the money.

Apparently the Wagga GT has been taken down, so may well have sold.......with the motor sitting on the floor.
15 grand is a bargain.
Matt

yes so true matt

I was in Wagga last Monday................
