Forbes wreckers are good. Give west wyalong a big miss they have no idea and keep all the good stuff to put on eBay. Not sure of any others but keep your eyes peeled for back st finds in small towns. Give us a ring and you an have a look at the ute and red van, if we are not working when you call through
Cheers

The Wreckers at Wyalong have closed down.Been close for some years now.Didnt have much there.If im driving and see anything on the sides of the road i stop to look and ask questions etc.Not many wreckers around here.I know there are a couple of people on the river down echuca way who have stacks of holdens and you see them advertising on ebay selling off a few here and there.

i also enquired about cars at peak hill and was told the owner was keeping them for his grandkids ......very interesting yard tho, when we went there was a HQ coupe as well as some vans and EKs etc and in a separate building in town were some EHs and a HD looked like they had been there for a very long time but not for sale,they had bits of cardboard covering them covered in bird crap

Yes he is a very odd bod he owns loads of property in peak hill including a whole lot of NOS he bought from surrounding districts when the GMH dealerships closed. Won't part with a thing though.
