    My barn find!!

    Well more of a back yard than a barn find, but check this out... This is what a mate of mine showed me last week in a backyard in melbs west. (no im not tellin where..! ) Took some pics today.

    Problem is the guy looks like one of those hoarders. Theres crap everywhere.

    If you look reeeeaaaaallly closely, you can just make out the back of a panel van parked a bit in front of the monaro. And you cant really see it but across to the left is a ute. So overgrown I cant get any details. Im gunna go back sometime when im not in my ambo uniform and jump the fence to get more details.... Sorry best photos I could get today. Cool huh!!??

    Considering where it is it looks to be in pretty good nic, very original looking car also on the outside. Interior looks to have had a cloth re-trim at some stage....

    Good luck Hainzy, hope you can get it........ if I don't beat you to it

    Number 1 rule you always adhere to Hainzy! Never, I repeat never post pictures of wonderful finds like this on the internet! Keep it a secret till you scout the guy out and potentially buy it! All the best hainzy, what a great little find! Let's hope the guy doesn't know its market value...

    About $5000....... Monaro prices have dropped considerably and the one Hainzy has found is only a base model.......

    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!
