Great Cars Going To Waste

[fbtim]

Look closely at the pictures, and please don't ask me to pursue any of the cars pictured! These were taken today (Australia Day 2011) Look at the doors, and complete cars going to waste.

[EKSPCL]

There's another grey and white FB right up the back on top of the stack

[Aussie Bob]

In front of the Grey FB there is an EK Wagon and in front of that is an FB wagon with the roof caved in.

Also a rust red Windowless panel van.

Maybe the Half a ute was an ex Army.

So where is it?

Im game.

[samprinci]

yer where is it??????? - there is also an FB under the red HD/HR

[Aussie Bob]

Its a private yard in Melb. The owner gets around the swap meets.

Here is the Van before it went up. Also imagine what's underneath all those cars as in the second pics.

A forum member is a good friend of the owner.

there's also a yard that looks very simular to that with what i'm told the same contents just off the highway at coonabarrabran, if anybody has been through coona you would have seen the place with half an FB or EK on the roof, they're top guys and get onto quite a few early holdens they do alot of restos on monaros and the place i'm talking about is across the road from them

Silly question, but when you say private yard, you mean he collects all those cars with no intention of selling them or the parts?

[Scubbs]

I believe the yard at peak hill is now available

I herd that the old guy that owned it passed away and the son now owns it but has no interest in cars
I will find out

[Nostalgia]

There is also a Yard similar to this down here in Geelong.

[rustysdungers]

YES the cars at peak hill are for sale in the paddock $2500.grand for a rusted out shit box
I was there not long ago

There is a yard in my suburb in the industrial area with row upon row and 3 high of some extremely rare old car's rusting away. I often take the dog for a walk past there to see what I can spot. There are not too many Holden's in there as far as I can see in, a few EH's and HR's and an FC. Apparently the guy who owns them is an old hillbilly and will not sell any of his car's or their parts. From the street I can see a few Valiant Charger's, early Beetles, Mini's, early Jap car's that are pulling huge money now (Corona coupe's and KE10 - 25 corolla's) a Lloyd Alexander, a Goliath, a Peugeot 403, a Honda Scamp and an S600 coupe etc to name a handful.

I often think these silly old bugger's are very selfish, they make me angry. They tease the real enthusiasts who are looking for those last few parts to make their car's complete. We all know, the old buggers know as well, they have no intention what so ever 'doing them up one day' as they alway's rant about. I fail to see sense in 'collecting' all these car's when their 'collection' is literally falling to pieces before their eyes and therefore becoming worthless with deterioration.

I think they should all go and see a doctor about their hoarding issues and do all the people in the old car movement a favour, and from all the money they make selling the car's, buy a proper house instead of living in a shack, and go and collect stamps or something!
