    Default MS85 Crown - Adelaide SA - rebuilt 4M on LPG, very tidy, pimp cruiser

    MS85 Crown
    Rebuilt 4M built for gas with approx 17,000 ks on it since rebuild
    3 Speed Auto
    Straight LPG - not dual fuel

    The car comes with all receipts from the previous owner, prob $5K spent on it in 2000 alone!

    Due to a change in circumstances and 2 out of 3 of my cars shitting themselves I am forced to sell this car to pay for repairs. I picked it up from an elderly gentleman who had pretty much owned the car from new. I have gotten the car, fixed it, registered it and gotten it back on the road.

    With a set of MS65 Hubcaps and twin whitewalls this thing will be a mad summer cruiser. Bay to Birdwood is coming up!!!

    Price - $1500

    I wil happily send the car interstate and I am happy to provide more detailed pics for genuinely interested interstate purchasers.

    NB: The car is currently under arrangement to have the whitewalls done. I can pass this on to the buyer if required.

    I will get some pics up shortly thankyou

    Possibly interested. Any pics of the interior, engine bay and rear of the car?
    What year? KM on body? Power steering?
    Any mechanical problems? Rust areas or body damage?
    Also, is it currently registered? Until?

    I will get some more pics up this weekend after the Whitewalls are done.
    Its a 1976, odo only goes to 99k and then clocks over it currently shows 52000 and judging by the condition of the car overall I would "estimate" it is 152000. It has Power Steering.
    No mechanical problems, the engine was rebuilt in 2000 and the odo was showing 36000 then and judging by how much the elderly gent drove it from then I am estimating it has 16000 on the new engine. It has been really well looked after by the previous owner as is evident by the overall condition of the vehicle.

    I am currently using it as a daily while my regular car gets repaired and it quite easily does the required 500kms per week.

    No it doesn't do 500k to a tank of gas.

    I don't really know how much it will get to a tank of gas, I don't want to run it out since you can't just flick over to petty

    It has the tartan cloth interior unfortunately. Not as good as the vinyl ones.

    I have some more things coming for this car in the next week or so which should give it some more potential. It looks just a tad boring at the moment. Whitewalls and hubcaps, KE20 chrome mirrors and hopefully gonna do a stripe down the side to break the colour up a bit.

    Hold off on the stripe down the side. These cars generally have better selling potential in original condition.

    The KE20 mirrors are from the same era and will fit to replace the elephant ear plastic ones that were there.

    I have a pic somewhere of one with a simple black stripe down the side, looks just like it was put there from factory and does wonders for the body line. I am certainly not intending on making this look very far from stock.

    Something like this



    But I don't like the mirrors, too big
