This is my 1969 Fastback that I have bought in Brits. The body and mechanicals are in perfect condition. Automatic, with disc brakes.

Very nice!
I am pretty sure I saw this car parked not too far from the boardwalk "mall" or whatever it is classified as when I was down in PE at the end of august. Great find.

Thank you Blitz, I have been looking for a Fastback since 1993. I found this one on Gumtree. I want to keep for my everyday car, you wont believe the attention that I get with it.

Hi Chris, I stay in Bluewater Bay. I only brought it this past weekend. I went up to Pretoria with an Intercape bus (18 hour drive) on the Saturday. I took ownership of the car in Pretoria at around 12:00 noon. Owner drowe it from Brits to Pretoria. I then drove the car all the way from Pretoria to Port Elizabeth, refreshing at 4 garages. I arrived the morning 2:30. It was a very wet at nerve wrecking drive (I saw about 20 kudus next to the road) but I enjoyed every bit of it in my new car.

Congrats Pharco
The
