When you say "opposite" do you mean accross the street? or that it's on the same day?? There is always a big swap meet the day before the Sydney All Ford Day.

There is no link and i am sure its a private sale, the items i have already stated above and as i said it is a 60 year collection so i imagine there is going to be **** loads of gear, i am going to have a look for early falcon parts (67) but i think its even earlier than that, i am still going anyway as you just dont know what you might find in these little country towns. As for address its in Wilmington not a very big place the population will be increased quite a bit that day so i imagine there will be signs put up so follow them the crowd and most of all follow all the Fords that will be up there.
PSont forget to have a good fang thru Horrocks pass and Pt Germain Gorge on your way it breaks up the bordom of that highway. |

I spoke to the people organising the sale and apparently most of the stuff is pre 1960 - ie Customline, Mainline etc and older - very little if any Falcon stuff apparently

A bit odd having having such an Auction for collectables/mechanicals etc with no real exposure or professional Auctioneer running and publicising it...
Mind you, stroked67 and other locals won't be complaining I'm sure!

Thanks for the country town suggestion - I'm also considering offering a cash reward for info which leads to me buying one. Must have been tempting to grab that XW - I've seen a couple XT GT's which would be ok but I'd really prefer an XR so I'll keep focused on finding one... Cheers, Paul |
