African Muscle Cars - Forum

This is probably a long shot, but if there is any place i can get this information it is here...

I am curious as to what happened to a specific fairmont gt... i just want to find out if it is still on the road (still in SA!?) and being looked after.

This is the last information i have:

1. The car was bought at an auction in Kroonstad i assume it was at a bargain price. Approximately 4 to 6 years ago.
2. It was white and had a manual transmission.
3. If i remember correctly it had a vinyl top.
4. Dead give away - the petrol tank was significantly enlarged...

Anyone got some info on this baby?

You will have to give more info like reg no or vin etc.
Was this your car?
I was offered a GT about 6 years ago exactly as what you describe, but it was from Welkom. I declined as it turned out the car was stolen. Are we talking about the same car??

Daan

Sorry, but unfortunately that is all the info that i have...

Perhaps it could have ended up in Welkom, but i am not sure. All i know it was bought at an auction. They only unique fact about it is the larger petrol tank or was that a common modification.

Nope, not my car, just someone i knew. They auctioned off this car along with his other cars after he passed away.

The larger petrol tank was a common modification during the 70s - it could cause a lot of problems though.

I bought a GT, that had small front damage from a guy in Vanderbijlpark, he owned a scrap yard with lots of old cars etc, I think his name was Toobie or something. Fits the basic description you gave.

Thanks,

Its a bit hard to imagine that car ending up on a scrapyard, since it used to be in a good condition. Well, i guess anything is possible and it was a few years ago.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
