Oh man thats heartbreaking. Someone needs to rescue this thing before it goes beyond repair. Good find, i would kill for one of these. Lets hope it doesnt spend to much more time like this, it needs to be out on the street.

Drooling at those pics. CRUZIN Mag has pics at the back of finds like this and it makes the mind boggle. Mind you they are normally of a different era.

Did he tell you why he wouldn't sell, apart from it being an ideal shelf for a tomatoes box? Looks like it's getting to the point where lots of TLC won't be enough to save that old girl. :(

they flat out won't sell, or just won't sell for what your offering?
What sort of a fool knocks back reasonable offers on a car they are letting the weather eat infront of them? |

However... It's because of silly comments "if he wont sell .... then take!!!" that knowledge of cars like this whereabouts should be kept discreet. |

My Great Auntie has a very original FX holden (pre FJ). She is 98 YO, still very active but she will never sell it as it was the first new car that she and my G Uncle ever bought. So these old cars are loved by some that would never let them go.
The FX BTW is in amazingly good condition. It got parked in her garage after the clutch died back in 1960, with 38,000 miles on it, at least that is when she thinks it was. When she dies it will become the property of her only son, who is in his 60's now. He will certainly put it on the market. They are not worth much, but a 100% original and complete example may fetch 10K.... If I got the chance to buy it I would. I would then pass it to Hardy Kuhn and tell him to make it new again. A piece of Aussie history.

I worry about that fairlane, cant be good for a car to sit on its side for all those years. Still stops the tyres flat spotting and springs sagging i guess. |

not a real valuable find, but it pays to keep your eyes open
spotted a 6/1990 VN SS in atlas grey, manual, cruise, aircon, 116,00k's, but with a rooted exhaust, missing airbox and totally shagged paint...... still trying to track down the owner, it'd make a good restorer

The property we're looking at buying apparently has a few 'really old cars' in the back of one of the paddocks. Me hopes it's got a blue oval on it.
Going to look Saturday.

//takes another drink, to repress the depressing subject A guy offered us 10k for my sisters XY. Just a standard falcon 500 with almost zero rust. Not bad considering she paid $800 with RWC and rego 5 years ago, It has been parked in our shed for 3 years...

A mate of mine has an XA GT coupe which is sitting out the front of his house in the weather and in need of attention. He has been offered 25-30 grand for it but wont sell, instead it just wasting away, such a shame!!!
