Want Wanted - Vortex Turbo in outstanding condition
Want Wanted - Vortex Turbo in outstanding condition
Howdy all,
Johnny the Vortex lover from Radelaide here.
I have 3 of the buggers (2 on the road & 1 that was unfortunately written off that I use for parts) but none are in the immaculate conditon that I crave and it will cost a fair bit of the 'ol coin to get any of them into the great condition that I desire. Due to having a young child, I just don't have the time to do any resto work myself.
Hence I thought I'd chance my arm and put out the word that I'm prepared to pay top dollar for a Turbo Vortex in outstanding nick and prepared to travel anywhere in Oz
Cheers with Beers

Howdy Neville,
Thanks for the heads up & I'll sort out my inbox!
Sven, I haven't seen the one on Port Rd & I'll have to suss it out. Hopefully it's a turbo
Cheers for the spots guys

adelaide Vortex
I have a pretty good Vortex in Adelaide.I'm always getting comments on how "that can't be the original paint..." and its a nice colour combination of electric blue and white interior,however its not front wheel drive anymore,its all wheel drive and its running a turbo ej22/EJ25 HEAD COMBINATION,or will do once the engine is finished and back in the car.
