thats pretty tuff.. dunno if you're into mopars (chargers, valiants, dodge etc) but try http://www.moparmarket.com/test/cars/cars.shtml if you are, theres a bunch of them going up for sale all the time.
Yer its pretty good, its now owned(just found out after getting number) by one of my good mates Mic, the car used to be owned by one of my other mates and i helped install the engine and auto, yes it is less than 4000k's old, but he sold it and now its back.
Paints not bad at all, and it has been in SM mag
do you know whats done to the engine and how much HP it'd have?
what issue SM?
and what auto it have?
im real intereste din it but im in QLD and cant look at it myaself and GF is crackin a **** at how much transport would cost up here....
although he did say he would put it through a RACV check for me..
304 fly down there with jetstar or some **** (like 100 bucks) then drive it back will take you probaly 2 days all up cost u maybe 300 all up
and if u do get it guess whos goin for a ride...thats right me!

I only helped put it in, i never asked what work was done to it sorry, and for the issue of SM not sure on that either, just saw the pics.
Call the owner now, his name is Micheal Gillhouley
i will give him a call after i work out how much its gunna cost in transport etc... i only have 8k and could scrape 8500 so i can buy it but need to find some more for transport...
is the paint spotless as it shows in the pics?
hopefully 4 weeks it will be finished i have an upolsterer hookin me up with a deal soon so i got to wait for him to finish, cage to be painted, harness's mounted,guages installed and the paint to be fixed up
its all mod plated so its on its way
If ya after a TUFF reliable muscle car the xt
is the one.
It drives,looks & sounds tuff
fly down test drive then if u like it drive it home (cheaper then transport and fun way to get it home).
cheers mick

Hey around the corner from my house happens to be an unbeleivable '68 Camaro. Noticed the other day he is putting it up for sale! In my opinion this is the best looking Muscle Car going around.
Its original red paint llos stunning
number plate is BURN.68
Ill take my dig camera around this arvo, hopefully get some pics up and get a price and specs for ya.

The monaro has a 350 chev, bored out etc.. My mate owns it, brand new engine.. only done about 8,000km.. and he cant afford to keep it any longer.. I think he's after around 8-10k for it..
The XC (ford) Is also for sale.. not sure on any specs on that.. If interested I could get you some numbers... (more details / engine bay pics.. etc.)
only problem, both cars are in cairns (Far North Queensland)

hey dude see where you heading, but i reckon you sould go something different that you dont see every saturday night at harrys. try and find a half decent chrysler (charger), or a big old buick or valiant or even a old impala (not lowrider style). American muscle is way cool. Some of these can be pretty tough if done right and not like every other car you see. For 8 grand you'd be able to find something pretty tidy. Monaro's torries and mock up gt's are done to death. try and find something a bit "rarer" that might not be in that gooder nick and do her up a bit... Just an idea!
