1978 G60 Ute "pottsy"

Post by G60michael »

Hi Guys, Recently Purchased this beautiful Gem of a G60 that was proudly owned a good mate of mine John "Pottsy" Who sadly was killed in a motorbike accident recently, when I herd the news I was truly gutted, he was a true blue legend and one of the most down to earth bloke you would ever meet and his love and passion for old Nissan G60s was beyond belief, has 6 others and 3 of which are projects.

His Lovely wife Dianne contacted me again about the G60s as John wanted me to know first if someone was to happen to him, she said he knew I just love these old trucks and that he could be rest assured I would only give them 100% love, Sadly funds are tight an she wants the old g60s gone and she gave me the price I just couldn't refuse!

Truck is in mint condition, all original, no rust and no Bog, couple of small dents ill et pulled out ASAP!! Truck was last registered in Tasmania Aus in 2012 where John "Pottsy" brought it for $4000 From memory. Since then he has replaced All Wheel bearings and Seals, Steel Brake lines, Wheel Cylinders and brake shoes. New Brake Master cylinder, new Clutch master and Slave, new belt, plugs and NOS Original Water pump!

She is a true gem that's had a lot of love its whole life, and we know John would be watching over me and the old girl from up above, and be very proud of me and the old truck, it was his baby!

I've names the old girl "Pottsy" in memory of my good old mate whos surname was "Potts", Also "Pottsy" in Aussie slang means the person is a Legend
