OK, so it's not really a million quid. I'm happy to come down a little bit ; )
Just needed to comply with posting rules. I actually have no idea what this is all worth as a job lot.
As I'm moving to Shetland soon I need to clear out my garage. I already have my toy Sportrak up for sale in another thread and more interesting stuff will be coming soon.
So here's my 1975 Chevette hatch, a project I've never really got around to doing much with apart from spend loads of money collecting parts.
It had a Rover V8 in it when I bought it but that was removed and sold. It is now just a rolling shell with an interesting mix of bodykit parts and Manta A back axle and front suspension. Shocks were all shot when I got it so they were binned. The springs are uprated, possibly Koni items (the shocks were Konis so maybe it was a complete kit). The bodykit parts are a mixture of Black Magic and HS/HSR panels I think. Bodywork is generally good but has been patched previously on the floor and there are rusty bits in the bottom of the boot on either side that need attention. The transmission tunnel has been battered to make the V8 fit and a hole cut in it aft of the original gearlever hole for the Rover gearlever. The bonnet has had quick release pins fitted and NACA ducts pressed into it and is in excellent condition. All lights are present and in excellent condition. The original interior is mostly gone.
I've collected a fair amount of bits for it and these include:
Full Manta GTE grey cloth interior (I mean everything; dash, seats, centre console, door cards, carpet, seatbelts etc). None of this has been molested.
Two sets of four Manta 5 spoke alloy wheels. One set has all the centre caps present.
Manta 1.8 engine.
Manta 1.8 5 speed gearbox.
Three propshafts (one Manta 1.8 manual, one Manta 1.8 auto and a hybrid Rover/Vauxhall prop left over from the V8).
Ideally I'd like to sell all this as a lot as I don't want to be messing around selling bits and pieces here and there over a period of time. I have a lot of other stuff to sort out ready for my move but having said that, I know that there are some items here that are worth good money to the right people so I may be persuaded to sell some parts separately. I'm open to any and all offers.
I'm located in Bedwellty in South Wales. Postcode is NP12 0BB for satnav and Googling. Tel 01443 822982 for more info. Happy for people to come around and have a good poke around my garage with free tea and chat provided. No obligation or pressure to buy applied.
