Liberty Valance - A Real Head Turner

[Liberty Valance]

Liberty Valance is up for sale as I have replaced him with a new ride.
Before you get too excited you need to know his transmission is broken again.

I recently picked up a donor car which had $2800 spent on a rebuild automatic transmission. This sounded perfect but after a few thousand kms it failed. I suspect the front input shaft seal has popped out as the trans fluid poured out of here in a big hurry. The car was driven 300 meters and parked in the location where you see it now. It could be a $20 fix but no promises.

I would like $2500 as is for Liberty Valance. For this price you get the 1990 silver liberty donor car thrown in for free.

I should keep him myself in put in an EJ25 and Forester 5 speed dual range manual but I have a new baby in the house and just don't have the time for more projects.

So that's the bad news out of the way and on to the good stuff......



He's got 4 Inches of lift achieved by

• Approved 2" Body Lift
• XT Forester Struts and springs with Liberty top hats
• 17" XT Forester Alloys
• 215/55/17 Michellin Tire with a genuine 80% tread remaining

These were taken from my new ride in the background of this picture.



At the back he's got a Towbar, a Lukey muffler and cool Subaru sticker





Inside he's got the full suede interior, electric everything, cruise control, double touch screen iPod compatible headunit, customer parcel shelf with new 6x9 speakers.

There's a missile launch button to activate lockup of the MPT Clutch and a digital readout to see how much torque split is happening at all times. Also satnav and an electric start button for extra coolness.




Brake Calipers are painted red just because it looks great behind the foz alloys.



Rola Roof racks up top for carrying boards or other cool stuff.



QLD Modification plate to keep it all above board with the boys in blue




When I had the engine and transmission out I serviced the engine:

• Timing Belt
• Ignition leads
• Plugs
• steering and alternator belts
• air/fuel/oil filters
• Water pump
• Rear mail seal
• oil seperator plate resealed
• cam seals
• crank seal
• tappet cover seals
• coolant flush
• sump gasket
• I forget what else now but basically everything you would want to keep going for another 300,00 kms

There's the new reconditioned auto in the foreground of this pic

Before I forget, Liberty Valance has also been completed rust proofed with a mix of Tectel and fishoil inside and out.




Here's the silver bullet donor car, it was a one owner 1990 sedan. I took anything off this car that was in better condition and swapped it over onto mine.

He comes with liberty valance as part of the deal. Of course he has no engine or gearbox now but still has lots of good bits to salvage.







I am located in Hervey Bay, Qld which is 4 hours north of Brisbane.

I have put so many hours into this car and it was my pride and joy for many years. I love the way it shows up the big 4x4's on the beach. It looks and sounds awesome and would make a great project for someone who is willing to do a transmission swap themselves.

Cheers, Scott.

C'mon fellow enthusists, surely someone recognises the potential in this liberty ????

PRICE DROP $2000 !!!

Wheels, suspension and body lift alone are worth this.

Such a good bargain and should be no problem selling. Is it on Gumtree?
