It needs its interior, and to be wired up. That paint is Brand new.
All the body work is complete.

I've got to climb into the engine bay and black it up, i was going to do it today, but i CBF.

Get rid of the holley & adapter plate & stick a quaddy back on it too.  Far better carby.
Thermo fan on the radiator will tidy it up nicely too.


Great project.

We nearly bought one in similar condition, from Wallacia in NSW, around 10 years ago.  The owner changed his mind & kept it, so we bought the second one on the list - a HK 307 GTS, instead.  A blessing in disguise back then, as it appreciated far more than the Q's have, but it's now moved on sadly.

Well i cant say how much my old man has had this Valued at, but lets just say, its worth around as much as a new lib....

He paid $800 for it in 1987, approx 8-9 months before i was born.

The plan is to go back to the Quaddy too big_smile

If it's a 308/M21, and restored accurately, then it will see $40k real easy.  As the months & years roll by it will just keep on going up & up.

Less than a year ago, HQ GTS 350 manuals (saginaws) were at $35k for a really good one, and they are now well above that.

Plans are, to restore it with mild engine work.

Its a Genuine GTS 308 4speed.
Its just been repainted, in the original Metalic Purple.  The color wont devalue it much if at all, try getting hold of one!
Its even got the original motor.
Unfortunatly the m21 went to Gbox heaven in about 1977, as was the style of the times.

Dude, your thinking to hard about it,
The 308 will put down 300hp+ (250kw?) standing on its head, at around 4000rpm.  Dad just wants it to be a comfy cruiser that has some balls when he wants them.
We've chosen to use a w57 5speed gearbox.
