Gone to a new home

shanegtr

I've had an LJ torana parked up in my shed (ok carport) that I made a start on fixing some rust years ago (back in 2007) that due to a combination of a lack of storage space for removed parts and kids I've never made much ground on. With 4 kids even if it was on the road I cant just put the family in it for a drive as we dont all fit. So a while ago I started looking for something a bit more suitable that can be used with all the family. Found something not long ago so now after 17 years of ownership my Torana has been sold. Kinda sad but Im looking foward to the next vehicle. As a certified lover of anything automotive I have been ashamed to have not owned a V8, well thats now not the case and I've done it properly as the new car has a 454 big block ;D. I'll post pictures up when I get it home, in the mean time your all free to guess what it is, but I'll give you a couple of hints, mid 80s, big american wagon and a history of the model name starting in 1935

Could be either a kick arse, Impala wagon or..... some of those A Team styled vans are pretty cool and nearly all (The big 3) are packing big block power.

If it is a Chevy van, it'll have captains chairs, full of gadgets, very plush interior.   :cup:

You get out and in to the world -- you take more @#&$. ...You climb a little higher, ..you take less @#&$.  ...Till one day -- you're up in the rarefied atmosphere -- and you've forgotten what @#&$ even looks like....  Welcome to the layer cake son.

Bids at $50.00 a time are just mucking around.
If they really wanted it they'd bid serious money, but then again it is an Auction, so a last minute bid would probably be the go.
