Hi,
Decided to sell my ute. Its a WB and has some work done to it. Im selling it because i bought a new bike and dont drive it, in fact about 5 times so far in the past 5 months. I built the engine from new about 2 years ago and did it myself.

At the time I fully reconditioned everything and I mean everything from bottom end to Heads. In fact the only original item not replaced was the block. It had new pistons, rings, valves, bearings the whole lot was done. Cost me about $2300 to do it. And it was done spot on and with no shortcuts or dodgies. The engine starts first time everytime and I never thought Id part with it but I need to move on.

As some of you are aware, there are not many of these left in Aussie and the ones that are are fetching a fortune.

Alot of you would have seen it at the lans. It is absolutely fantastic for carting around puters and gaming stuff. For me it was a lifesaver and Im going to miss it. It is Sponges ride and I almost ordered personal plates for it being "Sponge"

These are the specs:

V8 253 Holden V8 .40 o/s
Redline Manifold
650 Holley Carby
High Pressure oil Pump
Trimatic Transmission (Not the bees knees but overall good enough for me)
Valves to suit Unleaded fuel
Electronic Ignition ( comes with Mallory Twin Point Dizzy as well)
VN Commodore Bucket Seats
Centre Console
Hayman Reece Heavy Duty Towbar
Nice 5 spoke mags
Heavy Duty Springs
Tinted Windows
Good tyres
Good paint
No Rust
Rustproofed
Kill Switch
3 Core Radiator (New)

Comes with a in dash Aircoditioner, not one of those below dash hangers that smash your knee caps off when you run into the back of one of those rice burning need for speed cars when you tromp it but a genuine in dash, hidden and intergrated. Ideal for those Darwin days when cruising chicks on Mitchell Street.

Overall the ute is in good condition and was fully rebuilt before I bought it in Darwin several years ago. It was built from the ground up and the guy that built it was a fanatic and spent heaps on it.

Below are some pics and if you want info pm me with your question. Im not asking a fortune but I know what its worth and its below that. The price is $5000.00 ONO.

Cheers

Oh PS
I bought a WR 400 with all the trimmings. Damn thing flys and I might need to get wrist straps to help me hang on. Pics coming soon.
