Now,thats sad....A bit of a rarity I should think...
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...g?t=1278810505this could be rite up your alley lammy .. how much would it cost to ship it down under >?
How about this little coupe for $5500? All stock
Hoss,thats an interesting piece..Have a mate way up north,who has a 60 panel,came in from Wyoming several years back...its for sale at the moment...Quote:

As far as shipping goes,I think it cost about NZ $1800 to ship our F100 out from California about six years back..[Three vehicles in a 40 ft container] Got no idea what it would cost now,as the shipping is quite competitive between the two countries,but,the cost of shipping from the east coast to here is quite a bit more,,plus,the alternative is shipping to Ca.from halfway across[or further] your great[big] country can be quite expensive I am told..Time someone started doin something about that bridge between the two countries,that Dave S was talking about...:LOL::LOL:
Now that is a tidy looking little number..That would probably owe about NZ$20000 by the time it got here,with the exchange rate,shipping,and tax,and all the other nasty little surprises that get lumped on the price between there and here,,then go thru an inspection,a very rigorous one too,before it is allowed on our roads..:eek:Quote:

The seller states the the roof is sun-baked and rusting, but there is no rust underneath .

The interior is dry from sitting outside during the hot summers. It has ‘68 Mustang bucket seats and a black interior. The Hurst shifter and full Steward Warner gauges across the dash are well done and are right for a 60’s-era hot rod.

The 256-cubic-inch Merc flathead has Offy heads, 2-deuces, headers, and a Mallory distributor. The Ford Toploader 4-spd pushes power back to a 9-inch posi with 3.89:1 gears. Brakes are discs up front and over-sized drums in the rear.

Yeah,thats a kool old car...I would be into that if I had the cash,,and somewhere to park it...:whacked:

i took this shot 6 years ago .. the little bush to the left has now almost totaly consumed the car .. dont know anything about the why of it sitting and rotting away .. i`ve seen plenty of people stopped and looking at it

Man, what a shame Hoss, that Tbird looks to be pretty straight.
i would really enjoy taking a 4 door something wagon and making it a 2 door .. i just can never put my eye to looking for such a project .. even though i`m working over the stang i`d still like something else to do .. i want a 5 speed in my `v6 pinto ..

yeah,but they dont seem to rust out as quick over there do they??You will have some of the ''residents'''asking about the Holdens...The old HG panel doesnt look too bad,,nor does the CK[?] Valiant...Still got a few dry ones out there....:D
good stuff cranky .. i dont think there`s that much " junk" in the whole U.S .. i cant believe this car is sitting in wide open space not 20 feet off a main road .. with all the thievery going on it`s a miracle it`s not stolen .. super straight old plymouth ,,:)

Im liking that Plymouth Hoss429 and yes iy should be locked up in a shed not left to the weather.
iv`e seen this old dodge truck sitting here for 25 years .. iv`e gotten so desperate for something to drop my 429 in i finally stopped to ask the old fellow if he`d sell it .. nope !!! thats` a good truck .. just needs a battery ..
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...g?t=1283777937
i need a battery like that truck needs maybe i can get going my self, hmm
hasn`t been much around to shoot lately .. i know one fellow with a yard full but have`nt got a chance to stop by ..

The first one really got me, because from the doors (I have other photos of the car) and the "no rib down the back inside" appearance, I believe this to be a '26...
The touring car is sitting next to a house, spotted while on vacation to Kauai, just outside the village of Hanapepe, a few years ago.
great thred guys.
found this video of some that have been looked after. and look like they will be safe for a lot more years to come.definitely no rust here :)
cheers barnsey
