The car was purchased in Canberra from Alan Cowie who had bought it in QLD. I bought it in 1986 and was told " it only requires minor details to complete the car". The car was complete with velour trim, engine, gearbox combination and Holden rear end.
The minor details turned out to be new electricals, new diff, new brakes, new exhaust new wheels and tyres. The car being previously registered in QLD also required rego and an engineering certificate. The car was purchased for $7500.
The car was sold in 1989/90 to Mick Swan in Canberra, then later to Stumpy Green, who has since sold it to an interstate buyer.
