SIMPLY, BECAUSE OLD CARS ARE VERY COOL.

[DaveR]

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 wife went walking today. Sent me these pics.
Reckon she's just teasing me. She'd never let me buy one.......

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.

[edz]

Funny how dads used to say NO to a kid of 17 buying a V8 .. Dad knocked me back on a HB torana with a 253 in it .

I'll take the hearse!! One still in use

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.

[Jeepers Creepers]

That's one RR that is unlikely to see the road ever again.

This Cadillac faired a little better.

Given a talented metal worker / time and  money ... It  could be back with most of its original panels and be  better than new ..

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

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.
