As nice as it would be to win an old muscle car you'd think you would win something that's at least had some kind of resto job.

HAHAHA $42,000?!? Dreaming! That is sooo funny what condition it is in...Ice Break made all this hype about them and fancy videos etc, they're all feral though I imagine? Of course they wouldn't spend money to get them into better condition...they did the 'promo' to make money, not spend it...Just another reason to not like Ice Break...Dare all the way!! Lol. Thanks for the link, hilarious! (however, very sad for the poor car)

Like to see it with wrap removed to reveal the Goss colours etc .. then you could better gauge the value

Can someone tell him he's dreaming?

Hopefully he drops his price to a more realistic number so someone buys it and restores it properly.

Ice break even commented on the video saying ' All cars will be returned to original condition before being given away'

Yeah right.

Must have been very disappointing, you think you’ve won a beautiful (and valuable) piece of Australian Muscle car history, only to find out that it’s some rusty POS. It’s like winning a million dollars, only to discover they’re Zimbabwean.

Agreed, but it would also be nice to see what's under the bonnet.
It does say non matching numbers...

Madness, he has certainly done the right thing.
It HAS got rust but it LOOKS better than I was expecting.
A pity about the non-matching numbers, but I think I read somewhere that it had a 351?

That's awesome! Thanks for re-linking this. Glad he dropped the price, still up there though. Asking a fair chunk considering he paid like $3 for the coffee that won it for him, and doesn't seem to have much of a passion for a classic...Anything more than $3.01 would be a profit for him really?

*blonde moment perhaps* I don't get it? But...Dare all the way! Mmm, Dare Mocha, om nom nom. (Dare is the only Ice Coffee that doesn't upset my tummy)!

Can't blame him for trying to get top dollar for it, I'd do the same.

It looks much better in it's true colours. As good as it looks, there's still work in it. Between $20k - $25k or less is what I'd expect that car to go for. Beautiful example JGS coupes have been sold for between $25k-$30k within the past 12 months.
