trying to find my old Blueprint EB V8 turbo

[ebv8]

i have been searching the net for ages trying to find what happened to my old EB
its was a 1991 EB Fairmont V8 painted blueprint and fitted with a single gt35/40 turbo and ED ghia trim and scorcher bars
I sold it to a guy out at penrith. it had been through about 4 people the first year and I had a chance to buy it back for a cheap price but missed it by a day.

last i heard it was our of rego sitting out at western sydney somewhere

if anyone knows of it let me know i miss it.

good luck finding it mate, i got lucky and managed to get my ED back after around a year.

Last I saw of it was it was for sale out the front of the WestBus bus depot. Apparantly the then owner was a driver.
It was out there for months for sale. Apparantly a lot of work was done on it at a local fuel injection place.
These few little snippets might be of some use.

thanks, it had a stock ECU and stock 19lb injectors so it needed work to get more power. i sold it about 3 years ago for $10k and i could have bought it back 12 months later for $5k but someone beat me to it.

Good luck mate, hope you track it down.

I still wish I hadn't gotten rid of my old TE Cortina back in 2003. Had it 13 years and it never let me down. Let it go to a local wrecker at the time to replace it with an Astina. Old corty would be long gone now.

Cheers

spotted it 3 weeks ago heading over the ropers road overpass heading towards st clair.

it was owned (after the ebay adds when it was in the penrith area) by a bloke at AUSTRAL on the rural outskirts of liverpool a few years ago, that was at the time it was on ebay for around $6500 i tryed to convince my wife to let me buy but no dice :( sounded nice i watched the owner fill it up at the little old servo station in the middle of austral town, it looked exactly the same as in street fords
good luck

cool so its still about and being driven, i did see it forsale a year after i sold it and was in austral and was out of rego so i thought the worst as it wasn't engineered so passing a blue slip might have been difficult.
i do have a new project now which is a 1983 VH commo wagon, 2 family owners and very tidy and i have just built a VS clubsport engine for it, keeping it carby and hopefully will look fairly stock under the bonnet apart from some parts needed to run the new motor, i'm even keeping the stock 185 tyres on the stock 14in rims which is terrible in the wet but it looks period correct.

thank for all the replies
