Default Old Holdens

For anyone who is partial to older model Holdens, I have located a fella who is close to my house (300 metres away) that has a few in his back yard.

If anyone is keen to buy cars or parts let me know as he says that most of the stuff is for sale.

The pics are in my gallery

Boxhead,

Nice find. I looked hard but could not see one Ford...

Would you mind checking as I'm looking a for a nice 3 window '32 Ford coupe. Prefer without rust..

Keep looking you may find a yard full of Fords - then PM me first..

Hope all going well there

You missed the little Ford Pop ute. I had a hot rodded Ford Pop two door as a teenager. I'd really like a Ford Pop Van.



Cheers

His is currently fitting a 350 chev to the little ute Mike, but when I was talking to him it could be prized from his possesion I think.

He knows where there are alot of cars out bush and I will be trying to get some locations from him, so I can atleast go for a look and maybe bring home anything good.

This weekend I am heading down toward the rock as there is a VJ Charger down there out bush, it is only a standard 6 cyl colomn shift but he tells me there is no rust in it at all, only body damage is a dented r/h front guard.

Yeah Leeroy, that is a Chevelle Malibu.
He has had it on his body rotiseri (sic) and done the underside as good as new.
The color will be a mid metalic green.
