My Great Auntie has a very original FX holden (pre FJ). She is 98 YO, still very active but she will never sell it as it was the first new car that she and my G Uncle ever bought. So these old cars are loved by some that would never let them go.
The FX BTW is in amazingly good condition. It got parked in her garage after the clutch died back in 1960, with 38,000 miles on it, at least that is when she thinks it was. When she dies it will become the property of her only son, who is in his 60's now. He will certainly put it on the market. They are not worth much, but a 100% original and complete example may fetch 10K.... If I got the chance to buy it I would. I would then pass it to Hardy Kuhn and tell him to make it new again. A piece of Aussie history.
