bellett teardrop pretty sad has 90.000 mls on the clock paint is the puppy brown colour chassis is pr20-4029588 is this an early one or round stickmans green machine its in need of loving can someone date it please and i will buy you a beer at coona cheers davo

Where is the car located, how is the rust and how much do you want for it? I was actually gonna start looking for one in a couple months when my current project is a bit further along.

by my reckoning, it's a may-june 65 build.

using the numbers posted elewhere, we know that chassis # 4014973 was feb 65, and 4042963 was sept 65.
basic maths means that is near enuf to 28000 cars built in 7 months, making 4000 cars per month.
starting at the feb build number and working forward, it puts 4029588 around the may-june timeframe.

hope this helps davo, and to quote yourself.... "i will buy you a beer at coona", so i look forward to a cold one!!
cheers.

simmo.... bullitt is in SE Qld.

Thanks for the info, probably a bit far for me.

hi brett beer organized ...i have 4 pictures of the car the car is in sydney will attempt to post in next few days the owner thinks its worth more ... will let you know how much.. the shots will show it all cheers davo

Is the owner an old Bellett car club member? If so, my Dad probably knows them.

i dont think so the car was in a private collection of cars some ....100 cars ..old chevs etc when i got wind i thought you bewdy but the photos again let me down a bit he has had the car for 30yrs and not under great coverage will try and post today the shots cheers davo

try these photos ...hope they come out regards davo ....great old sticker on rear bar ...

sorry guys didnt downsize the photos but you get the idea even the speedo has rust at approx 30mph ,seats shot ,etc etc and it has the new look grille not flat black just flat rust i will attempt to get it but i reckon hes like the guy in brisbane with the blue 66/67 ...these are worth a lot of money ...yea they are .......................restored .......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ cheers davo oh the motor was done years ago ..how many??? who knows regards davo

Thanks for the pics, let me know how much $$$

Would have to be keen to start that resto...

funny how some people just dont understand what a car is worth.

it is what someone else is prepared to pay!

or it just sits and rots till its towed to the tip as scrap. such a pity

jeez it's got more than it's fair share of tin worm....
we've all seen the bumpers rust, but never seen a grille that bad, so would hate to think what the rest is like in the "normal" rusty areas....
as OZ said.... keen resto'ers need only apply.

who's your dad simmo?
and which club?
might know him (and u) myself!

My Dad Graham Degnan and his brother Warren were in the Bellett car club (in NSW) and in it when it became the Isuzu car club. If Ive met any of you guys, I was probably still a little kid.

ah yep i knew warren back in the day. good to have u guys aboard. cheers.

I am with you Brett, no idea and I have another prospect here in Sydney of a tear drop, good for restoration however they $6k for it, so it sits, AT LEAST IN A SHED!!
At the most it would be worth $2K, when I suggested that figure they decided to sit on it a while, it is left from a deceased estate, still has a loty of work needed, very little rust.
They talked themselves about restoration, BUT I don't think it will happen, too much sentimantal value attached!

Hey Simmo, I probably know you, (yes you would have been a littley then ) I know both Graham and Warren in fact see Warren on a regular basis. Time for another thread I think!!
Dave M.

I dont know if you remember Dave, but me and Dad had a look at the GT on the side of the m4 a couple years back.

spoke to the owner of the teardrop last night ,he has been away and had abetter look at it the motor is seized been sitting 30 yrs he said all lights etc work ...he was cagey about a price then after squeezing him wait for it .........................around ,,,,,,,$3000.00 the car is out of sydney anyone intersted iwll see you at coona cheers davo ..../...next project ...just been told about a pr90 not a basket case driveable currently in storage ...at this stage and has given me a clue on price around the same as the teardrop ...im chasing it as we speak cheers davo

Drop it like a hot scone Davo, especially if there's a PR90 in the offing! Man, there's some greedy people out there...how the hell did he come up with $3k as a reasonable price?
