My very own "SHED FIND"

**Vombil** · 31-03-2011, 04:47 PM

Picked this 84 WB 6Cyl 3-speed today for $850 off an old bloke who actually had it in his shed

Upper gate is totally rust free. No gutter or seam rust at all. Perfect bench. Everything works. Doors are near on rust free too!

Drives like a frog on acid

very happy with it. straight to the farm

Nice one.
Good bodies like that are getting harder to find.

nice score...clean upper gates are getting money that close to what you paid for the complete car..

I was told by a customer only last week ( very reliable source) of an old guy in "country" NSW that bought 3, yes THREE, brand new WB utes back in the day and stuck them in his shed. The high mileage one has about 700 (yep...Seven HUNDRED) kilometres on it....and they are still sitting in his shed in a little town called *%*&$#@*

Can you at least whisper it to me?
I won't tell anyone.

That translates to 85874328. I called that number, it could not be connected. :Chin:

There's an old Holden dealer out west (probably not far from a few regulars on this forum) that I went to a few years back, who still had a brand new VS Acclaim in the showroom - never sold, and beside it was a real nice Atlantis blue WB ute with the sports instruments. Unfortunately it wasn't new, but was damn nice!

Still had 'em (12mths ago

) Plenty of NOS dust on that VS

yeah theres a 'cocky' i nthe southern part of our great state (WA) that had 2 HQ factory v8 utes and a v8 WB. Top mileage was one of the HQ's at 8,000. One of the HQ's went for $8,500 recently and the WB sold 4 years ago for $10,000.

Great buying with those miles at that money
