Bit of a funny story with this one , I spotted it in a backyard years ago , went and knocked on the door and the sheila who owned it said "no its not for sale - we are going to do it up "

The bloody thing is as rusty as a carpark full of Fiats

Went back every year or 3 and asked the same question to get the same answer until the last time I went around there and they were leaving town

and were prepared to sell it - for $500

I offered them $100 and they told me to piss off so I did. A week later my mate who drives the tilt tray rings me up and says " I just picked up an old Holden wagon , you want it ? He dropped it off at home for me so I gave him a carton

The people paid $80 to have it carted away to the scrappys rather than sell it to me for $100

and they call themselves enthusiasts

Nice score Blacky.

Funny what some people will do.
Anyhow you got a free car in the end.

".......can I keep it ?????"

Of course!!!! just like puppies that follow you home.

Although we don't normally cut puppies into pieces.
