**Sold**

Price $6500 (or offer me something)

*Edit added photos*

About to relocate interstate for work and sadly have to sell my 1997 GPvR. I purchased this car from another FTO AUS member (Bushido) back in 2011. Happy to take to mechanic of choice or another member to have a look. The last service was done by VIPFTO in July 2013, can take back to VIPFTO for a service and inspection with potential buyer present.

Hoping to pass this car onto another FTO AUS member instead of putting it on carsales.

Only things I have changed are new alloy wheels, new stepper motor and battery. Haven’t had any mechanical issues with the car. The CUSCO LSD is a bit clunky when turning at low speed but there’s no mechanical issues with it.

Below is a copy and paste from when I purchased the car.

Thanks everyone for support and looking,

I know most people here already have FTO's so probably not the best place for selling another FTO haha,

My question to you though, any reason you never came on cruises and stuff?

Unfortunately it's been a pretty long 4 years for me, i bought this car when I landed my first paying job which was sending me all over the country. I relocated from Sydney to Adelaide to Melbourne to Canberra back to Adelaide for the first 2 years. Then when i finally got placed in Adelaide permanently my dad was in and out of hospital for heart surgery (triple bypass and a stent for the last one) so i was flying back to Sydney every second weekend.

I tried to go to the annual cruise i think it was 2013 (the year where it started raining really hard), and all my local roads got flooded so i got stuck lol

I have to admit going on cruises wasn't on the top of my priority list

Totally understandable. GLWS, man, pass the next buyer on to us so we can scare them aw... I mean, welcome them warmly into our accepting community of enthusiasts.
