this one is not far from home. The front yard of this place has 5-6 late model geminis in it. Been meaning to take a picture of the yard some time.

yeah, i only ever saw the sedan which Barry H in NSW had. Maybe others too. Big risk though buying one...... engine condition, mechanics etc.

Yeah, Irmscher version. Would be great WRX competition. I didn't see a price though.

The fellow that sold me the GT bought one (Sedan). Last time I visited he had the whole motor, box, drivetrain on the floor. He said it needed a head gasket, and that was the only way to get the head off. His face wasn't like this
More of this . He said some words I don't say.... I encouraged him to think of how great it would go once back together. He said some more words.
Be sure it doesn't need a head gasket.

Cheers, Matt.

might make a nice donor though to rip all the stuff out and transplant into a Bellett like has been done before. A LOT of work though. Imagine..... a 4 wheel drive turbo DOHC Bellett.

Its a pity they are not 2L engine though. I don't think they would be a real threat to a WRX although should be a bit lighter i think..

Those wagonoids are cool! Something a bit different and turbo/AWD before it was cool!

Had another look, theres the price. ($7500)
You're right Dave, its as cool as a modern express! Which is something like what it is. Gemini express.Too cool.
I'd drive it!
Cheers, Matt.
