cheers for all the kind words guys. I'll end this thread with my favourite photo of the car taken in the clem 7, on the last cruise I went on. :(

Awesome photo to remember an Awesome coupe!

wow nice pic Brad,

 

you are the first person i know who has gone through the clem 7 btw, haha

Just read this thread and holy shit! I swear to god this is probably the best looking ke55 that ever existed! I just got one and the inspiration this car has given me... I'm speechless man, it is almost too awesome! :)

It's such a shame that its gone now, but such a beautiful car won't be forgotten very quickly! There are some parts of this car that are definately going to be seen in my car and I really don't doubt that there have been many others who have been motivated and inspired by your car as well.

It's good that you were able to get another rolla to work your magic on. Hope you have the best luck with future builds man!

man, sorry to hear, restoring one of these now and couldnt imagine what it would be like to get it stolen, hope they catch the lowlifes that did it :(

Never did, Don't think we ever will unfortunately

Ok, so these cars came with 2tc's, right? Could somebody tell me what the difference between this and my TE51 is? Because they look identical, except I have mustang taillights and grill, and the back doesn't angle flat. But they seem like they should be the same car.

These came with K motors. The TE51 wasnt sold in aussie, it was sold as the KE50 with a K motor, same generation as these though. Not many around, I heard someone call them The Orphans because nobody wants them.
