Great website! If only i could find a '70 chevelle 396 SS or a '71 Buick GSX on a farm in the riverland! but then again i probably wouldn't have the Cortina.

sorry but i see some of those cars as a shame just corroding to nothing....then again id rather see them BURN then some young idiot (like myself) come and restore it and put bling rims, bodykit, stereo, etc in it

if i had the money id snap up all those classic fords, and put them in a shed to rot there...LOL

EDIT: forgot we were given 2 dodge charger RT's 1x rolling shell and 1x shell and 1x hemi 265 hehehe

no sorry i didnt explain properly

ok did some volunteer work for SES when cyclone larry hit my home town
went back for the innisfail show, took the councils ute (i work there too) and went to some guys place cause he asked for help...
anyways long story short he had a collapsed shed/barn whatever since the cyclone....so we helped him remove his stuff inside....happens to be 2 dodge charger bodies, 1 is complete + the engine (not looking too good though) + those cool jellybean mags, the other is just a shell... since we helped him and loved the cars he said we could keep them for helping, he already got paid insurance money for them....

anyways our (a friend and mine) dodge chargers are better condition than that thing...
so yeah we were given 2 chargers for our good deed.... and now we might even get a valiant (dont no much about these so thats all i know) original condition (looks mint)

anyways its related to thread cause these were nice cars rotting in a shed and now we have them.

P.S. one is painted in the original 'magenta' pink colour , interior is original
anyways im back in tville and i never brought the camera with me so no pics at this stage..... we still gotta pick up the other engine, the valiant (possbily sell it to fund the other two)

I dont feel sorry for you anymore FALCONSR

Wasnt it you that was having issues with eBay and the like

You were complaining about that when you were "GIVEN" two chargers.

And magenta, oh my god, and it prob has the big tank and all...... :

Want to buy a charger - look at this one on eBay - all you got to do is put it back together:-

Very interesting story. Pix would be nice!
BTW: The '70 Charger under the tarp isn't actually too bad in the body. It's just been gutted for mechanicals, suspension, etc. The owner has a VERY NICE '70 Charger driver in the shed.

This is such a crime - you said "Dodge Charger" so I assume these are left had drive

In respect of condition you would be very hard pushed to get one in better condition than the eBay one considering that you obtain these for free and they have been sitting around for a while.

But you can proove me wrong with Pictures.........
