that shadow tone style paint job and those alloys..............at a quick glance you;d guess it was an early Commodore..

Is it a DELUXE? I thought they were Sunbirds. The other DELUXE's that I know of were HJ Kingswood sedan and ute.

Hi Guys
The top end of the car was painted black at some stage, wasn't a good job and the black paint is peeling off and the origanal colour is comming through, recon if i hit it with a high pressure cleaner it will come off.
I found the car on an auto dealers web site in SA after searching for a car in WA, I found 3 here, 2 out of the 3 were wrecks and the other was a painted rolling body priced way toooooo high.
Update, got it inspected and a few minor defects wrere picked up, basic stuff, the inspector was surprised how good the condition the car was. so she failed first time, all defects completed apart from renewing all rubbers. He pick on a ball joint but i thought if I'm going to do this I'm going a full front/rear suspension rebuild. 2 out of the 4 ball joints were suspect, origanals too.
I have submitted the Modification forms, we will see if i get approval to go ahead with the V8......fingers crossed.
More pics soon
