There still out there and they still hold lots of interesting Aussie heritage that you think doesn�t exist any more and in a condition that takes your breath away.

I sorry I can�t tell you about its whereabouts and I probably shouldn�t post the pic�s, but I�m gob smacked about what I�ve seen�����regards





This car has about 70,000 miles with the books in the glove box....





And it still runs without a noise.............



And those are genuine dress rims hanging up there......



And heaps I haven't mentioned or seen yet.........

reminds me of the shed my 1930 buick is in, it not only contains cars, but a Mig fighter.

[Toranavista]

Bound to be an old set of rabbit traps in there somewhere.

MY GODFATHER!! im simply hoping that the old bloke shown in the photos (the owner i assume) is actually doing something with all that treasure, and isnt like a number of folk ive come across who have things like that but are holding on to them, while they rust away because "they'll be worth a mint one day" you mention that there is many more that you havent mentioned, is the old fella ever gunna get aorund to restoring/driving/using at all the cars he has, what good is something like that if it cant be appreciated. My two cents.
CHEERS Chris

[smeer]

They're not worth mint when they're rusted and useless

[Pop's-SS]

I might have put up this one befor but it is worth a look.

72 Zodiac Blue XU-1 and HK 327 Bathurst Monaro.





Does bring a tear to the eye especially when they are only a short 15 minutes drive from me and I know the owner very well.

Theres a classic example of this in Perth.... Bob Ridley is his name and he has way too many of the early rare holdens :(

Also noticed this alot in the country, seen some lovely cars while out with the old boy visiting a few of his mates, most recent a lovely white and black hq ss with the plates 'SS HQ'..

[Pop's-SS]

I knew I had another shed shot somewhere.

Front and centre unless I miss my guess is an Aston Martin DB5 (maybe DB4) AKA "Bond". "James Bond". Well at least close to the same model car he drove.



Could be a 1928 Chev Tourer on the left and far back right maybe ? a 34 "B" Model Ford??

There seems to be a lot more in the background. I didn't realise there were so many till I lightened the photo up in photoshop.

damn thats a shame that XU1 and Monaro

[RIM-010]

An XU-1 and a HK Monaro, side by side... what an awesome sight.

UNLESS THEYRE RUSTING AWAY IN SOMEONES SHED!

My uncle has a 1920/30 something Buick in his shed, complete with Straight-8 power baby, yeah! hardly any rust, still goes, almost immaculate red interior.

i know of plenty of early Holdens around where i live, in old forgotten farm dumps.

Which reminds me, theres a farmhouse ive gotta check out...

[REDA9X]

I think if your Buick is a straight 8, it's made after 1930 from memory, mine is a 1930 and a straight 6, but the last of it's kind and it just so happens the last one in the country too.

[RIM-010]

Now THAT is a car that will appreciate in value...

OK, its a 1930 - something Buick.

someone asked for a pic in another post, so here it is




these were taken in the 70's, but it's pretty much the same, just hasn't moved in a while

[dattoman]

Ah yes the old shed/barn find

I just found a LJ 6 cyl 2 dr in my brothers shed
Been sitting there 8 yrs and hasn't moved
So I bought it
Needs the dust blown off it... a carb..... some minor fixups and then I'll get it back on the road
Looks straight and rust free

Hopefully have some pics after the weekend when I get it out of the shed

Probably won't keep it long though..... as buying that one made 8 cars for me...... so one..... maybe 2 might have to go......haha
My 6x12m shed is already bursting

[REDA9X]

Interesting site. A mate was telling me the other day he knows of a 73 Bathurst XU1, one owner, has barely ever moved, so low KM, but it's sitting in a pig pen on blocks, the pigs have eaten the tyres off it..

[Pop's-SS]

There is another GEM in a shed right here in Cootamundra and although I haven't seen it lately, I know its there because I personally know the fella and he said that he hasn't got the money to do it up yet. And yes he knows its value.

It is a genuine 1 owner LH SL/R 5000 and the only 2 things non original about it is that it has a different radio and the exhaust is 2 inch not 1 7/8 inch.

I have known Simon since 1977 and it has been his car since new.
