Sold the hatch and picked up the new toy yesterday Move to Other Cars area if not appropriate 1976 HX Kingswood Chamois Exterior & Interior 308 T400 Power Steering Needs Shifter/console replaced with standard one Buckets replaced with originals or a bench seat (triton seats fitted) Strips fitted back to the outside Tune (didnt like the cold collie start) Wants New manifold/carby New rocker covers Lowered Tint Venetian Got all the original books and receipts with the car, fairly short list of previous owners. Good solid body bar a few small bits of cancer starting, nothing too big of a deal to stress about. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

is it original with the T400?

personally would of stuck with the torana,why you buy a kingswood there not rare or collectables? there are just some pple you will never understand.^

dan89 might be able to help you with some of the gear your chacing aswell

OUT2ANIL8: My LS1 Torana is not affected by this purchase. The Hatch was a little too big of a project for me after all the headaches i've had with the LS1 conversion. I purposely wanted a Kingswood because they are the base model. Its tagged as 253/Trimatic, the dealer the car was bought from fitted the 308/T400 in the mid 80's. I'll send dan89 a PM and see what hes got, cheers!

That's ****in sexual, Always loved this shape!

I know of someone who has an immaculate bench seat in good nick that he is selling. Located in Armadale. PM me if you are interested and I'll pass on his number.

did you buy or swap for it? i was contemplating a swap, didnt get there in time obviously.

I bought it, i didn't get home until midnight so maybe he wanted the cash? The grille will be changing to HZ as that is all that you can buy new. Some more pics including the original purchase documents etc. New carby will be ordered next week! The one on it works fine but should be in a museum. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Convos, slammed an filter out the bonnet = O M G

good buy dan. whats your plans for it?

No thank Moe However... Mrs approval for carby/manifold/cam/sump/oil pump/fuel pump/shift kit/converter Already have on the way venetian and brand new grille Then next pay sil moulds is all i really have on the list Need to find the side mouldings where paint is marked guards to rear quarters, not real noticeable in some pics but it should have them anyway Forgot to ring the rim place By the river after work... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i reckon its rad as. i'd sod the mudflaps off, dump it, widened stockies painted black, with the hub cap and chrome trim retained. tint, repair what little rust it has, win. maybe chuck a stezza in so you can get rid of the aerial too haha

sweet looking ride....but are you selling up already? http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-V...AdIdZ313421509 (http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-HX-Kingswood-Factory-V8-VERY-ORIGINAL-W0QQAdIdZ313421509)

Just because it's a Torana doesn't automatically mean it's a "collectable" or rare, or expensive either..... So many other factors to take into consideration.

yeah stocs mrs says it has to go, thats why the price is higher... so much for approval for some upgrades to it hey! my torana is by no means rare, it is a factory 173 column shift auto SL haha

That was extremely short lived!

mmmm women will never understand mine wants to burn my VL but then asks to drive i dont think so haha

haha i got 4 cars, can't really be that pissed off. She absolutely loved the torana from the day she came and bought it with me nearly 5 years ago, so that will always be around. I've smashed almost 30k into it now to the trade off of selling the vn and kingswood after so little time is that she gets off my back via being able to spend money on the house and i get to get back into burnouts currently looking around at a few vn ss's and stuff around the 4k limit, gone are the days when you could get an average condition vt ls1 with native smelling interior for cheap Its gay hey Bax but burnouts will prevail!
