If anyone is looking for something to do Saturday 30 November 2013, this might be interesting:

Looks like it might come-up okay with a little spit, polish and elbow grease.
Clearing sale at 695 Wallingford Road, Irongate, QLD

Me too, otherwise ........
No, 3,000km round trip is too much for me in one weekend.

How much do you reckon she'll go for? I hope whoever gets her restores her to original and doesn't hot rod her or anything.

Dunno, it'll depend (obviously) on condition, how widely publicised the auction is (I don't suppose this little effort will help much).
Could be anywhere from $5K to $55K.
In Melbourne two weekends ago we had Classicar a veteran and vintage car and motorbike show (better post some pics in another thread). This generated some discussion on our talk back radio. I think I heard some mention of a 48/215 being 'valued' at around $1M.
Despite this being an FJ, it is a Ute (rarer, and sometimes more highly sought after), fully restored (how much there?), this could be 'valued' at $250K.

Williamson, from memory the one that was sold at auction was a 'prototype' build that was developed pre 1948 production model.
I think you guys are getting a little carried away with the prices you are quoting. While the ute looks reasonably solid in the picture, rust in the usual places, in reality it might be a whole different scenario once you look at it in detail. I would think $2000.00 to $3000.00 might pull it up, if their lucky.
You can buy a really good fully restored FJ for $20,000.00 to $30,000.00.
And what's wrong with Hot Roding old Holdens, I think it's a great idea:

That makes a BIG difference.

Nothing!
Noice!

PS. The tow hitch is great, much stiffer (less sway) than the Classic tow hitch on the CB1300. :thumbs
The Classic people could learn a lot from their US counterparts.

Glad it worked out for you. That ST must be worn out by now, you must be ready for a new one.
