lol just a bit of work there but have always had a soft spot of those old girls
Just give it a wax mate.
When my place is built there is a chevy nova waiting to go in the garage.
She' not too quick, but cheap to run.
I have a mate up this way with a heap of these in a shed in different states of repair. Seems some parts are getting hard to find now days. Either way it'll be cool when it's done.
If you can talk your mate into parting with a drivers door I'll shower you in beer! The only part I can't seem to find anywhere.Originally Posted by K6Thou

Just out of curiosity what are the engine, gearbox, diff and trim codes ?
What year is it ?
camira yeah?
Rev the fucker!!!!!
haha... what engine and gearbox??
She's a roller and I mean roller - there's nothing more than what you see in the pics! It's a VH, originally a 245 manual. I've picked up a r/t slimline dash and gauges, seats, left door and bits and pieces. Will be looking for a 265 setting it up with the tripletts, and 727 torqueflite or 35 Borg. Love to get the 265 setup to e38 or e49 standard but cash will determine that.
Close... gemini
How's the rust?
Usual spots, front pans are rooted, left rear quarter, little bits here and there - not too bad for the age. Will need a full bead blast and a heap of welding. There's quite a few rust panels available
So I assume a concourse resto isn't on the cards then... I'm sure old mate has quite a few 265's and heaps of other gear as well I'll give him a call and see what he wants to part with, he's more of a V8 guy. He's currently building a VH hardtop with a nicely worked 340...
Humble beginnings ....
theres n idiot up this way with a 770 charger sitting in a paddock ,gunna he said ,;lol ,you should fit it with a 340 a 727 and a dana diff! rolling on 20,S
she looks like shes been picked up by the roof with a fork lift..
you may need to extend your door glass a little~
my brother had the 360 chysler lebaron.. awesome cars...GL with the build

Won't be a concourse, hopefully just a tough streeter. I did look at the v8 idea, but all the specs for the 265 hemi's were better - faster acceleration, faster quarter, and better handling cause of the lighter engine. they just don't have the torque of the 8's. I know all this is subjective really depending on who builds the engine. Also I want to use the original "6 pack" style paint and emblems.
K6: appreciate it, a 265 that's at least rebuildable would be great
Snaffler: Jebus only knows what's been done to this thing in it's 15 years in the paddock, but I have some larger hammers
thats a long term project right there, but the pace of my vc youll probably be finished first
I can handle pain until it hurts.
Not Clue'd up on Aussie cars.
What should it look like ?
What do you hope it'll look like ?
Pic's ?
Should look like this when done... but thinking a midnight black/red pearl with silver stripes
tony this is what it can look like..... good color choice chase as these have beautiful shapes
