Nice corvette mate! I've always preferred the 63 and the 69 to any other models, but hey, they are all nice.

Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it? I've always been interested in owning a corvette, and you see so few of them around Adelaide.

Old friend of the family used to own a red '68 model. I was in love :P

yer thats fine i paid $25,000 three years ago, looking around now you would find it hard getting one for that price. Adelaide is hard to cos as you said not reali that many around, id say $30,000 and you coud get one. if you reali wanted a vet and didnt mind going for a newer model a C4 you can get cheaper

Nice looking cars buddy. Both look the goods.

Almost bought a L34 torana about 10yrs ago but couldnt get the finance for it. I had only started up my truck business a few months before and they wanted me to get a guarantor but my dad said no (doooooww) .

It was white with the black lines down the side (standard L34) and all matching numbers and interior 120,000 kms. Only mod was a ford 9" diff. They were asking $13,500 dollars for it .

I would hate to think what it would be worth now (only made 500 And most were for bathurst)

Also had a LH 202 4 spd torana as my second car (gold with gold hot wires) but it was written of thanks to some bi#*h doing an illegal u turn (an no, not at merino)

What do you think you would get for the torana today?

ur kidding mate!!! i would have killed for the chance to own a L34 for that price, now u would be looking at nearly $100,000 for one!

I have been offered $10,000 for it and $12,000 but seeing as it was my first car i would hate to part wid it. plus all the time my dad, grandpa and i spent on it!

    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
