1986 360GLT in Melbourne, Aus. 171,000km

[brad360]

I must announce I am defecting from the 360 to a 240.

I have owned my white 360 since Feb 2005, it had done 138,000km when I bought it, it had service records (I still have them). Since then I have only done 33,000km, ie. it has now done 171,000km. I had the timing belt changed soon after I bought it (have the receipt). Aside from that I have regularly changed the oil and filter, you will have to take my word for it.

I am still using it and will do a 500km trip next week, I would have no problem driving it anywhere.

The car was manufactured in Feb 1986, started its life in WA.

I have had very few problems with it. The starter switch has a glitch that I haven't bothered fixing. I turn the key, then poke a wire into the cigarette lighter to make the starter motor go. It has been like this about a year now.

It has a few rust spots on the rear drivers side door, just below the window. Nothing major.

it does not drop any oil on the driveway. Windscreen has no cracks. The dash lights have a loose connection and don't always light up at night, they usually come good by pushing on the clear plastic.

It has the most effective heater I have ever encountered. The aircon does something, I have turned it on regularly to keep things moving, it must hold the gas because it certainly works to some extent, but seems better for a northern european summer than australia.

I would call it GC/VGC, not in showroom condition.

It has a sony radio cd player, with remote.

pm me if anyone is interested. I will probably put it on ebay soon if I don't get any feedback here.

How much were you looking for it Brad?

I can only find one for sale in Australia, none on ebay, drive.com.au, carsales.com.au or trading post:

they want $380.

I would say mine looks better. the one above has a different colour hatchback. Mine could probably do with some tyres soon, they might pass RWC.

I'd say not many would have lower km than mine.

You can look at all my messages for the last 6 years and see what issues I've had.

What do you think?
