Possibly, it was up near Murtoa in western vic on a property that had over 150 chevrolets plus a fair few other makes as well.

A while back the scrap merchants bought the most of them & crushed on site

after the new owner had a disagreement with the guy he bought the property off & the new guy decided to ust scrap 'em...

I know the owner took a few of the cars back to St Arnaud & I have seen a few of them on ebay over the last 6 months

I helped move a few raritys that got sold before this happened, mainly ex army vehicles

Is that the super-rare NASCO Shooting Buggy Option ratbox?
I've heard that's right up there with the NASCO Army Men option in terms of rarity...

Do you know why he scrapped it all? Norm was a great source for chev parts for over 30 years & I was up there getting some stuff off Adrian then the next thing I knew it was gone!

I heard he had a disagreement with Norm but it isn't confirmed, just what the locals told me up there, I was up near there on the weekend actually.
A big loss to chev people.....

Pritty much scrapped it 4 quick cash,Dam shame,He can be a real TOOL

First met Norm about 1985, top bloke,ME and my brother were looking for 59 chevparts,Got the bits we needed and spent the rest of the day talking and looking at all chevs. When Adrian took over the place he had a disagreement with Norm over one of the cars(BLACK 70S CHEV).
