Default WTB KH TX3 Turbo 4WD Laser

Hi guys my farther is currently on the look out for a KH TX3 Turbo 4WD. This may be a long shot but he doesn't want heaps of airbrushing or racing seats just a good honest car with the original engine and close to factory specification as possible. We are in SA but will travel for the right car.

Cheers Ryan

I was looking at one point as well (KF or KH) .... and was rare to find anything ... and if I did ... it was butchered. Good luck in your search.

We bought an early KH from country Victoria. It has been played with a little but it still has the original motor unlike allot of others we have looked at. On the hunt still for a KH2 still but going to be pretty fussy with that one. They should come out the woodwork now we have one under our belt. I missed out on an all original KH2 4WD some time ago in NSW's one owner who had died and the car had sat in his parents shed for the last 15 years. 60,000km all original including tires. Apparently went to a collector in Queensland!

Damn ... that sounds like a barn find indeed. So low that kays.

My Mother had a Manual KF GHIA... with whiteline mods .... similar go to the TX3 N/As ... just velour interior ... great car ... went on forever and drove so well. I keep looking as well ... and they are so hard to find (especially a manual GHIA as well). She had done 140,000 in 14 years of ownership ... only did an ignition module in that entire time (rest was normal maintenance).

I know it says KF ... but the tailgate and wing look like KH ... not KF
No front shots to show headlights/grille though.

KF TX3 used GHIA rear garnish with the red TX3 badging though.

Yes looks allot more like a KH than KF. I have looked at that one allot but we payed under half that for ours. KH's ran from October 91 to October 92 and KH2's ran all the was to 94. I would love to know sales figures.

You are a mad dog Ryan!

A mate had one back in the early 90s...white with white rims. Loved it.
