Muzz Landau · 25-06-2008, 10:46 PM

Here is my 73 Landau. Needs alot of work. I'm sure it's not the worst you've seen....

Paull · 26-06-2008, 12:13 AM

Here is my old Landau just before I sold it (sold it for $7000 with original sales brochure, parts manual and workshop manual)

Factory Burgundy with Black vinyl roof

Factory Black leather, still in quite good condition too

And with a whole bunch of spares as well

Came across this Landau and had to have it ,needed a lot of work as had not moved for a long time.Rebuilt the engine trans diff and brakes.Drives great and all matching numbers.

Thanks for enlarging that photo!.The body needed a real good detail but its not bad.When we tryed to get it on the truck the back wheels were locked solid.The back brakes needed a lot of work!!.Engine ran but rebuilt it any way.Replaced front and back wheel bearings and went form 2.75 to 3.25 diff gears.Works well with the 15" rears.

Auslandau · 13-07-2008, 10:39 PM

If thats all that was required ..... good luck to you! Great find and well done to the original owners!

montyv8 · 21-07-2008, 12:50 PM

its not often you see mine with wheels narrower than 10" on the back, and a stock bonnet, so i thought i'd add these pics

Taken after getting home from the vehicle testing station, after getting the defect removed

Was a full inspection, passed first time with no issues.. pretty stoked considering I assembled the car

can't wait to get the convos back on

All you need to do Col is strip out all that luxo gear like power windows etc and you'll have the ultimate weapon

Hey, I'm a patternmaker by trade. Reckon I could knock up some moulds to churn out some carbon fibre panels!

I know I've had it up before but I took some new shots the other day so I thought I would share them with you

or from the other side

fullysik.com · 25-07-2008, 12:31 AM

And one of my saddest moments was when I put this one owner baby square into a huge tree, had taken the wheels out to Eastern wheel works and had them widened to put the T/A's on, new rubber, motor was just ready to get a freshen up and whammo!! no more gentlemans express.

montyv8 · 25-07-2008, 01:37 AM

I love that race car.. but i've already told you that

:

What size are the torq thrusts? I want a set for mine and your rears look perfect. I was looking at 17x11's.

cob115 · 25-07-2008, 08:16 AM

cob115 · 25-07-2008, 08:24 AM

Fullsik got me going seeing that beutiful XA made me open the photo bucket and post a pic of my baby.had a few days of no rain latly so iv been driving to work n back

fullysik.com · 25-07-2008, 08:26 AM

Hi Monty, thanks for that, the torque thrusts are 17 x 11 front and rear and so pleased I just had em polished up. I think you need a bit of a higher profile on the rubber with these rims as a lot of 17's on coupes have a low profile aspect and to me it doesn't quite fill the guards as a bit more rubber does, just my opinion of course. Actually I'm not sure there is much option on profile for road tyres is there, I haven't looked.
So maybe 17x11 rear and 17x9 fronts?
By the way, you can buy the coupe, it's going on the market very shortly

fullysik.com · 25-07-2008, 08:32 AM

That's one very sweet coupe COB, love the bonnet, front spoiler, hell it's all beautiful. You've got yourself one very nice collection of coupes may I say if I recall correctly, certainly gets in yur blood doesn't it.
The bloke grazing to the left would be worth a few bob as well, so the cattle feed the coupe fund?
