Tyrie's got a point, although I was interested in the use of the registered Ford word "Tudor". [Ford registered this spelling for use on their tu-dor models in the late 20's]
If this was a 4 door, a coupe, a ute or even a wagon, its value would be determined by the availability of other, better examples in the marketplace, but other, better 2 door 1200's are a bit hard to find in the Australian marketplace these days, so it's difficult to make a comparison.

What's it's true value? Beats me, but its rarity in Australia must account for something.

I see what your saying guys but either way, wether they are ar arity's or not, by the look of the thing the amount of work involved would just not be worth the extra hassle and money.

It's just my opinion but for that sort of money you could buy 3 4 doors or utes in similar condition, or 1 in much much much better condition that would cost a whole heap less to restore due to the availability of parts, panels etc. and the less panel reapair work involved which we know is the most time consuming and labour intense work involved with builiding a car.

Your probably right though guys, it's all relative to availability and demand. I know HEAPS of 1200 people would love their own little rocket 2 door but for some reason i'm just not one of them, so therefore i can't justify the funds required on the outlay, or the hard work that would need to follow to get this thing to all it could be.

as with everything it is worth as much as someone will pay for it, it is rare and i hope it goes to a good home like the seller said we all see it on the streets for years to come. good luck who ever gets it!

If you are going to do a ground up resto on a car, a bit of rust doesnt make that much difference in the whole budget, it only amounts to a week of extra time (if that) in fixing the rust, and with rarer cars (like all the cars I have) its just par for the course because you are just lucky to get your hands on one, rusty or not. (normally rusty)
People will either have the skill set to fix the rust or take it as an oppurtunity to learn how.

$1400, thats less than a Dellow 5 speed conversion, less than I sold my H150 LSD for, 1/4 of what it cost to paint my car, its $400 less than I paid to get my seats re covered, its the price of a new set of wheels and tyres.

$1800 to get your seats recovered....they must be some nice seats

personally id think you would have to actually see the car in person before saying its to rusty....sure it looks to have its fair share of surface rust and rust stains, but its not like there are any huge holes in it (not that i can see anyway)

id say for someone that wants to build a 2 door sedan its every bit worth the $1400

Car still for sale

Surely someone is interested in a 2 door. Don't worry about the bullsh*!t comments that have been said about the vehicle.

It is not as if there are that many to choose from. Anyhow I thought that I would offer it to 1200 nuts first before putting it on any other sites.

Thanks to all for the positive comments

Yes it is not beautiful but it has good bones
