Hi.

Sorry to hear of your father's passing.

Hopefully you will find a good home for his 360, without it ending up in the hands of the drifting lads!

One thing that would help your advert no end would be a few pictures, they speak a thousand words.

I've been kind of thinking about getting a 300 for a while now, if it would be easier you could email some pics to me directly and I could post them up for you?

Or you never know, I might have it myself!!

Steve

Sorry to hear about your loss. Must be difficult having to part with his car.
I hope someone on here gives it a good home.
As said pictures will certainly make a difference. If you have any problems posting them on here just say and I will guide you through it.

Is the car a manual gearbox? and any other info will help secure a new owner. Mileage?,Any rust?,Condition of interior?Does it still start and run?

Good luck with finding a new owner.

So what size engine was fitted to the 360?
Regards Brian.

Brian,

All '60s were fitted with a 2.0 redblock, manual 'box (in the back like all 300s) and a stronger "torque tube" type prop over the 1.4/1.7's weaker alloy item.

Most models were carb fed with only the very late ones getting injection.

I'm after a last of the line GLT injection myself, but they're going for daft money now

Anyway, I agree with every word Brian said... More info and pics please

Steve

Hi, I hope you find a good home for your Dad's car.
114K miles is nothing to a Redblock engine that just means it has only just been run in

Hi,

It looks quite nice and in a good colour

Is there any rust anywhere to speak of? I can't make out from the pictures.

Has it got power steering?

Does it run? I.e, did you have to push it out of the garage?

Go on then I'm curious now, any idea on how much you're looking for?

Thanks,

Steve
