I've looked each time it was listed, and wondered what was wrong whwn it didn't sell. Some would suggest that it's less desireable being a non-twincam auto, but at the price, we thought it's gotta be good buying. The timing was right, as he was going to Melbourne for the motor show, so we took a punt & bid. Surprise!, he won.
He was able to check it over & arrange transport.
It landed on Tuesday.

Some details - It's a '79 model, so is up for club rego. It's the last version before Piazza.
SOHC 2lt Auto (a-la Gemini) 13" factory alloys, Aircon, Power steering, front discs, rear drums, full instrumentation, and 'modern' stuff like variable intermittent wipers, central locking, electric boot release & fold flat back seat. (It's a very little boot!)
EVERYTHING works. The power steer needed fresh oil, and it needed a new fuel filter. A service basically. We thought the ride was pretty firm - turns out it has adjustable shocks. There is a new looking stainless exhaust fitted. It drives & steers very nicely.
There are a few rust blisters, the worst in the driver's door. They're being fixed ASAP. I reckon it will have plates within the fortnight!
It is AMAZINGLY good. Gary is WRAPT!
Cheers, Matt. (And Gary)
