Plenty of feral ones like that out here Mike.



As Gav has indicated, my hobby is collecting old Valiants from out bush.
Now I really dont know why I get some of them, but I cant help the sad thought of leaving it out there all on its own.
Here are some.
1968 Valiant VIP, floor shifted V8 auto, The VIP from this year model on had an extra 100mm added to the vehicles body length.
I grabbed it for the disk brakes, engine and gearbox.






Same trip I also picked up this 1972 VH Charger, it is just a base model, but is very good for rust repair section in the areas that rust badly.






Got this one a few years ago, now being restored in Newcastle.




Here is one that I am fixing (Or atleast used a big chunk of this one)




Here is bottom half of car above.






And here is one I grabbed last Monday (Aussie day public holiday).
Dragged it onto its side first.


Backed trailer under it as far as possable, and layed plyboard down and lowered it back down.


The skull dragged it onto trailer.
