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!!??

THEY'RE STILL OUT THERE!!

Nice find we all most got a HG Monaro 14 years ago on the road for 4k if we only new back then what we no now............

PS I will take it of your hands if you dont want it......

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'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.

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.
