81 has been up for sale for +2 years i think.
79 is clean and nice. very nice.
how ever both are still missing the 15k 1980 one's fresh engine FK engine.
would be interesting to see what its actually putting out. i guess i would be content with spending 10-12k to take it home. then bugger off the wheels for something else.

The '81 is a car dealer , the price goes up and down a little , it has been up to $11k if I recall.

I've had a look at the 81 and it's had a bad respray. There's no way they'll get that type of money.

Heh. Not surprising, with such crackpipe prices

If somebody was keen on a 2-door, you could import a factory 240 Turbo from the US, convert it to RHD, and still have change left over after tidying it up, for the money being asked here.

egads (she/her)

They are old enough and unique enough to leave LHD even.

^ and get that forien woah factor ;P

Indeed. Case in point:

This one would be close to $14K, landed in Oz.

Having driven a couple of LHD cars on Aussie roads, I can tell you the novelty wears off pretty much instantly! For a car as cheap and easy to convert as a 240, there's no way I'd leave it LHD if I imported one.

had the pleasure to drive the first 300C hemi when i come in. was pretty bad ass. was weird but visual was the worst issue. those damn cars suck to see out of.

Always drive with a passenger to give you guidance!

Yeah the intensity of the frantic screaming from the passenger seat helps you to stay on course.
