G'day lads,
Well my 9 month hunt for the near perfect gtv6 has come to an end. After seeing some photos of a Silver GTV6 in Newcastle, I had a professional Inspection conducted, and once that came back all good, I jumped on the first plane yesterday to go get it. Upon arriving I was soon confronted by service history and receipts verifying the 95,000 genuine kilometres.
The car is in amazing original condition, having been stored for most of its life in a shed covered, the interior is faultless, all electricals work well, and the running gear couldnt be in better shape.
With all work been done to date documented, I know it has come from a good home.David the previous owner has spent a lot of time, and money, to ensure the car has remained this good. Cant wait for run to come up to give you guys a look.
very nice thats what mine looked like before i stripped it.
only difference is mine has sunroof.
very nice .
What a find! Looks fantastic. ;D
Mmm....looks extremely clean - good buy.
yes and has history, reciepts, tools, brochures and books that go back to day one. I wanted a red one with sunroof, but i am in no way disappointed in what i ended up with. This car is truely amazing, only a few scratches here and there, but it purrs like a kitten, and will be kept in cotton balls in the garage to ensure this beauty sees many more years in its current condition.
Even the undercarriage is like new with it being only driven on sunny days, and the previous owner washing it once a year, has ensured no nasty dirt build up. Obviously i am excited, but cant wait until the next run.
I dont plan on doing any modifications whatsoever, have someone in dandenong who is a guru with the linkages who will deal with that once and for all. I also plan on treating the underbody to kill of any signs of surface rust. ANy ideas on what best to do?
Hi ageG, the gtv6 is a fantastic car, i actually looked at it the day before you, but, we could not agree on a purchase price, so i opted for the white one instead, hope you enjoy as much as i am enjoying mine, God i luv these GTVs!
Ohh yes, you would agree David has cared for this car to no end. Was the white one you are referring to from SA?
That silver gtv6 is a very nice unit, i was going to look at it on the sunday after you viewed it, david was going to give me a call saturday night if the sale fell through, well i never received the call, so my hunt for a gtv continues, well done and all the best with your new purchase.
michael ;D
no, the one i purchased was from syd it also was on car point, the white one in sa did not reply to my queries so..., the one i bought has 114k also log books etc and complete service history, never smashed and never painted, but has been buffed over and over, so its at the panel shop for a complete strip and spray to original cond, coupled with a set of simmons wheels, happy dash not cracked and interior not faded, gearbox still smooth enough and having had 5 transaxles over the last 20yrs the box will stay that way!
^^^^^^ that white car from sydney, is that the one with the dark tinted windows and sunroof, i think a guy named sam owned it.
michael
yes thats the one, i recall looking at it when the originall owner was selling it poss about 10yrs ago! nothing had changed just few extra ks. and those wheels... who ever bought those wheels for that car should be tortured!!, so in the mean time 1 gtv6gp to die for sold to a guy in victoria, and a 911 also sold to a guy in victoria, this time im keeping my white gtv6!
yeah that car looked pretty good in the pics, i will be also looking at another white car on the weekend if it is still available, i would prefer red but.....
cheers michael :D
well the red one in perth on carsales looks very good also, Colin the owner seems to have put a lot of time into maintaining it, i was very close to buying that one, just the distance put me off but transport would only cost $600 so it might be a worthwhile punt.
there is another gtv6 silver one 2 owner car in carpoint under alfetta heading wants 12k only 103k states car is one of the best, worth looking at, it has black mags which look a bit too big in diameter poss 17s or 18s
yeah i spoke to colin in perth , car looks good but has done a lot of work. Thanks for the heads up on the silver car franck, i hadn't seen that one.
cheers michael
Other than the year, it looks identical to mine (mine has a little more engine work) i am happy to go look at it for anyone over East and make a report?
Thanks edward if these local cars dont work out i may take you up on your offer.
michael ;)
hey michael, same here if you need some one to check the silver one in syd let me know, i can give you a detailed description, i am very critical! and it would give me an excuse to look at it. cheers
thanks franck, i am in camden so the sydney cars are not a problem, i plan on viewing the 2 cars this weekend, cheers.
michael ;)
cool thought you were in victoria, good luck as far as rust is concerned check around windscreen and rear tailgate, front end between grill and bumper, under rear bumper, bottom of doors, engine bay brake fluide area for spills, basically all over
^^^^ will do ,thanks for the info.
cheers michael
