Went to the Caboolture Regional Car Club swap meet and show and shine last Saturday. Reasonable but not overwhelming turnout.
Besides all the usual suspects, there were a few rare cars you don't see that often such as a (turbo) Detomaso Pantera,  and a Marcos.  Weather was warm and sunny after a cool start, making it a great morning to wander around checking out all and sundry. I quite liked this rather original XB 4 door:  More here: https://unseenentropy.tumblr.com/search/crcc

Love that De Tomaso.
Spotted a couple regulars in Benalla today. Often see an old bloke getting around in his immaculate army green XW Falcon ute and a nice original stark white XE sedan.

I always liked the xe series and miss seeing them around. I know it's been 40 years (!!!), but I wonder why there dont seem to be more around. Ford sold a heap of them.
Not sure if the change to unleaded fuel in 1986 might have condemned a lot of them to the scrapyard prematurely.....?

Vh commodore wagon. It was a sl 6 cylinder. Full reg and looked restored as in paint looked too good to be original and the side stripe stickers looked new too.

Heard before I spotted it, a Silhouette manual FGX XR8 this morning. Such a distinctive exhaust note, which made me look up from what I was doing.
Also, a purple LX Torana A9X.

Clean E series this morning heading down the M80
 Looks to have its original or period correct rego as well. Hardly see any E series these days on the roads, they were everywhere then they just disappeared. |

Maverick, blue, parked in a covered spot on Grimshaw St, Greensborough; heading east on Grimshaw, the Maverick is just past Main St, on the left. Looks like it's been there a while.

gossip three doors down had the horrible looking SR model with stripes and a body kit, like this one.................   Her husband drove a Corona wagon. And the guy next door had a Avante sedan. Horrible things.
