My 3 Axle 1975 Bedford Deluxe has sadly got to go
« on: June 03, 2015, 02:30:36 PM »
Hi Guys haven't been on here in ages as life has taken over.
You may remember my massive Bedford motorhome rebuild from a few years back
however, over the last 4 years sitting in my Driveway. its a bit worse for wear.
I WAS planning on starting over again with a full rebuild and do it properly this time but as the usual story goes.
Have a family now and run a business and no spare time for car projects.

Heres the honest truth.

Shes not in a great way. Rainforest conditions are not kind to cars.
Rats have eaten the wiring
Rainforest conditions have opened new rust holes.
I've started gutting the inside as it mostly rotted out being wood.

Highlights.
Its a rare 3 axle 1975 Deluxe .
I still have the Deluxe badges
The trimatic gearbox was rebuilt with new case just before it was last driven (i know why did i rebuild a trimatic)
The 186 was rebuilt (still needs lead additive) and should kick over as it still has oil. but the wiring is all chunded by rats.
Has a 350 Holley
The 2 x 100l stainless water tanks are still in the back.

I have a heap of parts including the old carbie. bull bar, etc.

But basically this is a wreck and complete rebuild from scratch kinda deal.

And i'm really sorry to the Bedford community to have let this happen.  :'(

$$$ WILL TAKE ANY OFFER
, just want to see it restored to the beast it once was.
Can either be a motor home or a flat bed truck.
Feel free to come and check it out.

Needs towing from Mt Glorious , 45mins northwest of Brisbane.
26 Attunga Lane, Mt Glorious.
