When you've finished with the El Camino I'll give you an address in Tuscon where you can drop it of for me An importer I know has a depot there or I'll be up that way for the gem fair in the next year or 2 Any more Porsche's that come your way , please tell me first pre 1976
Best of luck. I believe only a true car enthusiast can flip cars around and make good profit. You would know where to go and what cars are hot. I think the average joe would not succeed at all. I know I wouldn't. The market is small but profit margins can be high for those who know what they are doing. Good luck!
Yeah, .......... after you've gone passed and dropped it off at my joint, for delivery ! True get away machine .......... think, "enemy of the state" with Gene Hackman !
Imagine that, 400 kilo bars lining the floor, as you're burning out sideways around the corner of Russell and Collins. eh heh, go sons !
Picking a classic car is like picking your nose; If you get it wrong you'll end up covered in blood, in hospital, broke from bills and a little brain damaged... and everyone will realise you're an idiot
I look at my cars as an investment, maybe not when driving them around town in summer but otherwise, I have a Toyota HJ47 that was in a mine shed as an ambulance it's whole life, so only 9ks on it when I bought it, also a 60 series that's fitted with every imaginable extra, Toyota's hold value better than any car, I regularly have people come up and ask if I would sell, I could at least get back what I paid on them so may as well enjoy that over fiat.
Here's how it works A spray painter mate of mine picked up an original VC Valiant from a paddock from a cowcocky $500 It looked like a POS till he got it home & gave it a good detail , put it up on the hoist , changed all the fluids ] fresh petrol & she fired up It didn't need any bodywork at all , just the original patina from sitting in the sun Now it's on club plates & my mate will get a RWC for it next week Worth ? $8k-$10K Good luck trying to find a cowcocky who will let you on his property , let alone sell you the car My mates a local & the locals all like him because his a local & know his parents The same cowcocky has 2 Valiant chargers & 2 LH/LX Torana's in the same condition

My painter mate loves telling what they did to veewee's when they were kids on the farm Chopping up oval window beetles & turning them into paddock bombs :lol:
We own a 1935 Austin 7 Ruby in concourse condition. They guy who owned it before us had it fully restored - every single nut and bolt. Spent over $35 000 on it. Had it shipped to France for a rally and then shipped back to Australia. Before it arrived at the docks he dropped dead and the car sat in a museum for 5 years until we came along and bought it for $11 000. 8 years later I think it's worth about $11 001 - if I can find a buyer. But we've had a lot of fun in it as a family. malachii
Bugger investments. Sometimes, you just gotta have fun. This my fun Number 58 of about 230 built. Cost enough that I had to pay luxury car tax on it, and I pick it up on 14 Jan 2015
Just noticed in the upcoming February auction of Shannons, the number of 'no-reserve' lots being offered. Much more than I can recall since I have been monitoring the site. Looks as if the bottom is softening in the automobile sector. http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/?id=current
I don't suppose your mate would like to try and help me liberate one of those Chargers from the cowcocky? There'd be a nice commission in it for him I'd love one as a daily driver ...
