Has to be plenty of "shed finds" still to this day
I had a mate pick up an old car from a farm in Beechworth in the early 80s. Just before he left the lady asked him if he was interested in any of her deceased husbands military stuff. He bought home his pistol and holster from ww1 and she hated it. My mate scored that bargain for free...

Lol yeah I forgot John that ugly was back in. I could imagine how much someone would pay for one of those in mint condition. Pretty much any old car these days in mint condition goes for a bit.
Must get a pic of the A9X SLR 5000 Torana looking thing around the corner.
It has club plates so not driven often but very very clean.
Think Growler would love it, even if it is red with black graphics'
Big Bathurst drop tank looks awesome
If ugly was back in I'd be a millionaire LOL
A good friend of mine is the guru for all things F100 1950's, he passed a farm one day with a skeleton wreck in the paddock and asked the farmer if he wanted to sell.
Farmer said if you can get it out you can have it for free, turned out to be rusted out 1956 F100, sold the badge on the bonnet for $500
cabin was a throw away but chassis doors and bonnet were keepers.
He was the guy who figured out how to build a tilt front on the F100's.
Yeah do John. Bloody love those.Quote:

Might of been radical in the day though

@ NP99 can you find a pic of a Force 7 P76 for all to see
http://www.webtrade.com.au/p76/archives/Force7.htm
Go figure only ten left on the planet
I will have to find photos of my mum's partner's NA Fairlane... Peter Brock edition
Old cars hey..... I've got a few kicking about hahaha and few of the members have seen my collection lol needed a bigger factory.....
My bff's brother had a HJ pulling mid tens back in the mid late 70's
one of the faster units going around at the time
@ Mudski its not out but I'll grab a pic next time I see it for you
I keep telling my brother to get his first car again and build a beast, which was a XC GXL 351 but he is determined to buy and build a Road runner.
I just can't get him to change his mind.
XC wagon lowered nice fat wheels and a 351 oh yeah.
Ive only heard about the roadrunner, whats the other one a Yenco or something
Some memorable XBs and a XC :)
Was up for sale a while ago wasn't it?Quote:

Is he ready to sell it yet ?? Rohan's still asking lolQuote:

Not bad for a bloke in Tassie to get full factory backing for his dream
This guy did not do the XY 4x4 utes as far as I know, they were based on the FJ55 tojo
I have wanted one of those utes, since about '84, when I saw an immaculate one zipping through Maribyrnong.
Is that the guy from Launceston? He made what were called "overlanders". Holden panel van on Toyota chassis. Bloody awesome looking. There were a lot of copies but his original overlanders still sell very well.Quote:

No toyota chassis, thats the modern copy
Original had Dana diffs under reinforced std chassis
Worth crazy $$ now
Ahh yep, I just read the article!Quote:

Corners very nicely too. But it's been stored away for some years now ever since i started buying newer cars.
