Interesting Cars for Sale (>150000km or km unknown)

Mulva · 11-08-2021, 08:19 AM

Place to post cool or interesting second-hand cars/trucks that are for sale or auction, of any brand - preferable with more than 150k km or km unknown.

Looks like someone is having a clean out in WA:

Get the **** out of Dodge 4x2 truck: https://www.grays.com/lot/0002-90248...e-4x2?spr=true

Escort pano to pick up escorts: https://www.grays.com/lot/0005-90248...a-6-6?spr=true

* Over 150k km not hard and fast rule, and can post grey imports with any kms because we all expect they have had a hair-cut on the boat

Audi S5 Coupe for sale in Tasmania.

V8.

Only 25K and yes above 150Ks.

Manual too which is very rare.........I want it real bad but can't afford it.

I'm really starting to lose patience.

This thread is about interesting cars with over 150,000k.

If you have nothing relevant to the topic to add, then don't post.

Last warning, I have better things to do than to troll (yep, pun intended) posts in the pub.

Mulva · 11-08-2021, 09:39 PM

I know it was shot but am genuinely surprised that old Dodge truck only went for $1k.

https://www.grays.com/lot/0002-90248...e-4x2?spr=true

Maybe wasn't old enough

Citroënbender · 11-08-2021, 09:43 PM

I’ve got something similar (a ‘63), and yes a depressing result!

Been tossing up whether to bail on it or keep paying storage.

I had no idea what it was, and most don't have the equipment to tow a truck with short notice. I'm sure that factored into the price and the amount people were willing to pay or gamble.

Was it a mid to late 70s d5n 300 or something? If I'm wrong what was it, and what engines do they have? E: from a guess a 245 hemi i6?

Winning bidder probably has larger trucks to hual it away and were bidding scrap price, not something they know was restorable or a runner anyway. Would be different if you could list info about your truck to a buyer and if it was a runner they could test drive.

Citroënbender · 11-08-2021, 10:44 PM

That I can’t answer, a mate knows the series better. The cabs are all interchangeable, and I think the chassis fronts fairly similar if not identical - my SWB seems to have holes that relate to the heavier steering gear. At only a grand you could shorten and de-rate it. Front wheelbase is wider than Effies so the Jag IFS isn’t such an easy choice.

oldel · 11-08-2021, 10:58 PM

Apparently if you extend the chassis you can pretend you're mike finnegan and they make good ramp trucks that are worth $$$$$

After I finished my apprenticeship I was a bit stir-crazy from working in the same shed for four years, so took a job with a local transport company doing deliveries. The two trucks I mostly drove were both Dodge D5N. The smaller one was probably a 1 or 1.5 tonner and ran a slant 6. The larger one was probably around 4 ton and it ran the 318 Poly engine.

Any ideas as to what is with the T/A markings on the vehicle?

Yeah I have no idea myself. Ended up assuming it was just a ****-take and the guy always wanted a 6.6 litre Trans Am or something, as it looks very similar.

Trying to work out if that roof has had a dodgey lift? Not just talking the different colour and the rust line, but is the height is higher than stock? Some shots looks like it is; others it doesn't

ozpacman · 12-08-2021, 10:57 AM

Mulva, I think it's just an optical illusion caused by the roof racks, exterior sunvisor and the contrasting colour that throws to look of the roof line out.

What's he done to it? And it's got CV8 seats in it front and rear

DTFRMONT · 12-08-2021, 10:12 PM

An FG G6ET pre-production build, would be interesting to know how it escaped the crusher. Looks like it's had a hard life.

Is $26K big $$$$$?

Citroënbender · 13-08-2021, 12:15 PM

So, is this actually worth anything now? For a long time it seemed worth less than my cost to wet blast it.

Those old Dodges and Inters look great restored but are often full of rust in the worst parts of the cab. Replacement of the cab is an option if you can find one in good nick (like trying to find XD tail lights.) Most of the diesel ones are a better option as the old petrol models blow through fuel at an alarming rate. Most of all the good ones are gone.
There are a few good examples around here, one is an ex paper truck and the other petrol Inter is a water tanker semi based in Shepparton.

I guess it should appeal to someone who wants to make their 186 into a 186S

I think it might have been, probably someone who didn't come up with the money, seen that happen a few times with Grays

Of course it's worth something!...on the right forum if it is 186 or 186s I could see someone paying good money, may look around for you, I'm so bloody bored brother, I need action, even mental will do..

Cheers Billy

Your right about the 2000 AU Fairmont, the White paint job does not do it for me, but did ya get a look at the "nerf bar"........never would of thought that diameter pipe would suit that, but seeing it I have changed my mind!

Looks different to my car, must be AU1, different wheels and lateral bar in grill.

Cheers Billy

ozpacman · 13-08-2021, 10:50 PM

If I bought that AU, that hideous bar and spotties would be carefully removed and listed for sale on Gumtree before the engine had even cooled down! ��
