There is another thread here on the forum discussing the questions about the steering wheel install ect. This is the original listing from a month ago. It was at $1500 starting bid last time.

Ah. You mean this.

The airbag steering wheel and the late-model column stalks aren't quite original.

Hmmm. Even so, a '68's not the year I want. I'll just keep waiting for someone to put up another '74 142 for sale.

There is very good condition 72 142 in Wagga Wagga I can direct you to if your interested. It was listed a good year ago, but I believe he still has it. He is asking $2500... A little on the high side. There is also an ok condition 74 142 down here in Melbourne for $1200. I haven't seen it in person though.

I think Neal may have bought the Wagga one.

It's funny, I noticed someone in Wagga looking for a LHS door for a 142 on gumtree the other day. I wonder if that is the Neal you're mentioning?

Ex850R

I know from talking the seller of the 142 they are very nice people .
It had a bit more than the lhs door I thought but a very nice example .
He had got it from an old lady on a farm , it had sat under a tree for a few years he pulled it out , payed her I don't rember how much , gave it a good clean and polish that was basically it .

Not interested in a '72, sorry. Wrong year for me. ;)

Ah, well, that's another story - a '74? I would be very interested in that one. Do you have any more details about it?

Crabolsky140

I still have some photos that he emailed me... link below. Don't know anything about the car, but the guy bought it (along with a parts car) as a project and just never got around to tackling it.

But at least she's in the same state as you. ;-)

Many thanks for posting this, Ben.

So that's where they came from... they look way too wide on this car.

I like the 760/850/960 column! Height adjustment in the wheel. Still stock steering box?

Major Ledfoot

You'll have to ask the new owner, VQ - it went for $1535.
