Went past that monaro again today and actually chatted to the guy. So farkin frustrating! Absolutely not interested in selling. He would rather see it rot instead...
Had a good look through his weeds though and have a look what else I found in there.. All these cars plus I kept tripping over panels, gearboxes, engines etc etc... What a farkin waste!
That brings tears to my little old eyes! :(
That's criminal... should report him to Russell Ingall The Enforcer's Car Protection Agency
such a waste when someone would rather see them rot than sell to someone that would restore.
I agree, what a waste.
Look at all those HK-T-G's going to waste :errf: :( :( i REALLY like HK-T-G's.
BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman

How come he let you in there to look around if he wasn't going to let you take anything... I would of expected f-off at the front door if that was the case.

A bit early for a Sandman Jennie... note the tail light... HG by the looks...
That Monaro looks to be in pretty good condition and very restorable as are the other cars, even the Premier would be a cool car to get.....
See it a lot though, like the idiot owners who don't get the ridiculous price they are asking for a car so sell it to scrap for $100 to spite everyone....

Did you actually offer any money. He has probably had a gut full of people offering him $200 for it. Try going around with $2000 in a wad and wave it under his nose. Keep another $1000 in the back pocket just in case you need to up the stakes.
You never know. Even at at $3000 its a bargain.
Some owners are probably afraid of the buyer turning it around for a quick massive profit. That can be a pretty shit feeling. I sold my HD last month to a guy with big plans to restore (I had one when I was a kid yadda yadda yadda......). 2 weeks later it sells for 3 times as much on ebay. I only accepted his lowball offer cause I thought he was going to do it some justice. Didn't bother me too much as it was a long way down the list of projects and I didn't loose any money, but if you saw the car you sold for 2k show up a week later and go for 30 I'm sure it would be a bit of a kick in the guts.
