Bristol, Not original engine
Hi all -
"There was a 401 or 403 for sale last year in the USA with a Ford 6cyl engine. They virtually give these away, so a relatively inexpensive transplant. " I recall the Bristol with the Ford Falcon engine sold eventually for more than $30,000 US. Here's an earlier story: http://bringatrailer.com/2009/02/07/...1-bristol-401/ Way too much, in my opinion! Bob |
Bristol, Not original engine
Bob,
yes I agree , a 401 like that in Australia might bring A$10,000 (about US$9,000 or GBP5,000) if the owner was lucky.I was very suprised it sold!! There has been a 400 with Holden/GM 3 litre 6 cylinder engine & auto box for sale for about 3 years over here, the price has been dropping from A$17,000 to 12,000 It would cost about $15,000 - $20,000 to bring the car back to original before a full restoration was started. There are other 400's & 401's needing restoration in Australia that are complete rust free straight cars that are worth about A$20,000. Regards Geoff |
