Default History/ Previous Owner

Hey All,

Not sure if this is the right place to post, give me a heads up if there is another section.

Anyway, This is a long shot, but I'm putting out word, to find the previous owner, of my Project Falcon XC.

Here are the Details:

CAR: Ford Falcon XC 1977 Sedan
ENGINE: High Compression 6cyl 4.1L
3spd T-Bar Auto
COLOUR: Betta Store Primrose
GS Rally Pack
VIN: JG23TC56132C

This car was sold from Peter Warren Liverpool, from September 1977, its been living in that area for quite some time, however I purchased the car from Newcastle NSW.

On purchasing the vehicle, I found a few things that may help, it was insurance with NRMA, it also had a Sticker from Bankstown Bob Jane T-Marts, and finally, it was last registered in 2005, under this plate.

AFM30C

Any other info you might need, to help, just ask me. And any other Forums, you think I should post on?

Cheers Harry

Hey Guys,

Yes it is a fleet colour, for the store Betta Electrical.

I think I might contact them and see if they have any information. Here is a link to a list of "fleet colours" if you scroll down you will see "Betta Store Primrose"

http://www.aus-ford-uk.co.uk/html/co...e_colours.html

And Yes I have some picks, I'll link my photobucket on here, it also has progress shots of my rebuild.

















So those are the photos, sorry about the quality, as you can see in the last photo the chairs had these cloth inserts, and a green and cream pattern. Is this an option of a special request. It also had original plastic on the seats.

Another piece of information is this this link.

http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11251128

That is someone who has restored the car to original colour, however I think thats an XA?

Cheers for the help so far guys

What a cracker. You won't find another like this one.

Will make a great resto. Unique options from the look of it.

Good luck with it.

Keep us all posted.
