I have been pondering if I should share a few of the Beauties I have carted around or not.
I decided time I should.
Please do not be asking me about the pick up or destination of these cars.

To kick of, a 63 Impala, full Airbag Suspension



A 53 Ute, it drove as good as any new car does, could easily send the Mrs on a School run with it.....



71 Coupe, with a weapon up front, half the town came out of hiding when we started her up



A 57 in very good nic



This Lincoln was a delight to drive, it was like levitating on a water bed.



Now a 48 Ute, drove perfectly



Next a 61 Australian sold Fairlane, she'd big, a dual cab tray back 4wd fits in the well normally.





Now my Favourite, I wish I took home for ME!!!!





There have been heaps more, Today, I am picking up a 67 Falcon 500, the same as what I tried to buy back before the Wifes Cancer when I had money......
Anyway, I hope the old car lovers enjoy.....

The wagon was most likely an ex hearse too.

I tried to buy one when i was 17..... Dad said NO to a V8 at 17.
Bought an XY 250, which would've been faster anyway.

My dad surprisingly helped my buy my first car- LX Torana sedan with factory 253. 
They were not particularly fast bog stock though I guess.

Not sure how true, but mate just sent me this

Brand new owner of a 1937 Rolls Royce lost control of his Range Rover and trailer.
As a result the Rolls Royce should be regarded as a total-loss.

The sad owner just took delivery of the RR from a Historic Vehicle dealer a few kilometre away from the location of the accident.

Another day - another barn find



Dust-covered Holden Torana GTR from 1973 is expected to sell for as much as $100,000 at auction

    A classic Australian muscle car from 1973 is expected to sell for over $100,000 
    The 1973 Holden LJ Torana GTR was left sitting in a NSW barn for over 35 years
    Its original owner said he paid just $900 dollars for it when he traded it in 1985

Just to even the scales, after GG posted the LC. This one is parked in Burketown CP with a period Viscount van. Also has a boat loader on top of the wagon

one for the ford fans.
What a ****in awesome MANCAVE collection of old fords.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOjUDSyx4dU

We drive this insane 1967 Ford Falcon XR GT powered by an ex Dick Johnson Racing V8 Supercar engine and check out the mind-blowing mancave where it's housed. 

The 1967 Ford Falcon XR GT was a game changer for Australia and started our whole muscle car war with the big three, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors Holden.
The XR GT won Bathurst and awoke a sleeping giant in the automotive world here for Australian Muscle Car

Ol Glen Everitt..... worse TV presenter ever.

He got onto a car forum a few years back and asked for an opinion of his shows, without saying who he was.

About 99.9% of the comments, were..... good show, goofy presenter.

Then he revealed himself.... nothing changed.  :D
