Here's a couple of "Barn Car's & Truck" "Somewhere" in NSW , (Promised owner I wouldn't disclose who he is or where) . They are in 2 locations that he owns , and this is only a couple of sheds , he's also got some in Sydney too .
The truck is a WW2 Studebaker as original . complete with radio's . (You can see another shed in the background) He & a mate got a couple of Rod's he's built & drives regularly , Shelby Mustang , a couple of Chargers , LC Torana XU1 as well as these . Did have a "Wild Violet HO P3 " but he was offered TOO much to keep it (it went to QLD) carnutt |

I've got a couple tucked away in a country shed waiting for attention. XB GT, XT ute, and will be parking my low kay BA XR8 in the near future whilst I stuff around with something else.
I also know of a property in nw Victoria that must have hundreds of cars. The property is a local landmark/eye sore. Not sure what the history is but it had to have been a wreckers at some point long ago. Last time I cruised past was about a year ago and he had a couple of HK-T monaros. From the road I saw nothing newer than a HQ. They also has a couple of barges buried in grass that look like pontiacs/chevs of some description. |

I know a barn that houses a torana (i know not a ford) the box shape, supercharged 5.0, has been in restoration since 1994, the guy wanted to win comps at summernats show n shine. He got married, project halted. He has been offered $70k for it and its unfinished. He wont sell and he doesnt seem to be looking to resume restoration soon, never driven yet.

Well, it's not exactly a barn.... but driving from Perth to Bunbury, I passed a XW Fairmont V8 which was for sale in Harvey. It was inside a shed with a glass front (like an old mechanic shop) Said for sale and the bonnet was up.
From what I could gather it looked pretty tidy.... |

The main street of Harvey, across the road from the bakery, 'Eureka Bakery' I think it's called. Coming from Perth, I turned right into the town centre, then before the railway bridge, there is a bakery on your right and on your left is a white shed with glass front. It was in there. If you do go, let me know what you find and what it's like. Just really curius. Sam |

Bloke is prolly looking for $15-$20,000. Heres a shot of it: |

one of my best mates pop found an old FX holden in a paddock down near Bylong NSW and is in the middle of restoring it..
A car i always see in a paddock behind a house looks like an XW - XY Falcon GT..is white and has all the black stripes, superoo stickers, spoiler and wheels..i keep thinking to myself it must just be a replica because no way in hell you would keep a genuine GT out in the weather like that but recently i have noticed he has moved it into the shed.. makes you kind of think! One of my school mates lives on a property with what seems like hundreds of cars..I went up and had a look and found what looks to be a XE ESP..It is red with the black/grey down the bottom with a yellow line. Even has the wheels but I looked closer and couldn't find any of the ID tags (my geuss someone took them).. They also have other cars like a Valiant/chrysler panelvan with the stripes down the side etc. Up there i found an XC ute that was white with the full cobra blue stripes up the middle, around the wheel arches and had cobra decals on the gaurds. I lost count but there are heaps and heaps of cars..His dad even said he has a 427 cobra jet motor lying around (hidden) from an old american cop car.

I didnt take a camera the day i Picked up my XB coupe from an old machinery shed on a farm a few hours south of Perth. Looked like the pics on here covered in dust under a pile of junk sitting next to two XP coupes. Cost me 500 bucks 3 or 4 years ago. Falcon 500 complete car minus engine and gearbox but with all the GS options.
