http://www.shannons.com.au/pages/auctions/lot.jsp?id=V31F162OF6P9B3L2History Having undergone a thorough and detailed restoration over the past eighteen months, this exceptional FC ute now presents in first class condition and is basically ready for the next owner to simply enjoy. The vehicle was taken back to bare metal by hand (not bead blasted), two small rust repairs made and repainted in the current black livery by Rob Burns of Hawthorn Panels, with a new full rubber seal kit. The car was rewired in March this year, with a new CD/radio unit fitted inside the glovebox (operated via a remote control unit). The interior was re-upholstered in tan leather, with new door panels, kick panels, underlay and carpet fitted throughout, along with new headlining and sun visors. Mechanical work has seen a reconditioned Head Torque engine with changeover carbie fitted in February 2000 and the brakes overhauled (with a new master cylinder) in February 2004. The motor was converted to run unleaded fuel in May 2007, with a general service and tune-up carried out at the same time to ensure the Holden runs beautifully. To be sold registered in Victoria (with the personal plates 'FSEE-58 included in the sale), the vehicle comes with a workshop manual covering Holden from 1948-1963, a fitted car cover and Cobra engine immobiliser. A Victorian roadworthy certificate sill be supplied after the sale. (Information supplied from Shannon's website)

Another Yarn /Truth. Growing up in Toowoomba we heard many stories about buried spitfires out near Oakey...many searches were conducted, one even involved the Oakey shire council as reported in their minutes. Seeking Council permission for a small bore hole or low key excavation being conducted on
Council land in York Street, Oakey.
The reason for the excavation is that I believe there are six spitfire aircraft buried on this site. I
have contacted David Mulckey who investigated this area in 2005. Using modern equipment which
operates on resonant frequencies you are able to search for specific materials.
I have inspected the site and located the trench and using aircraft grade aluminium, steel and silver
frequencies determined that six aircraft were there.
Report
Council previously approved large scale excavation by Mr David Mulckey which was unsuccessful.
I therefore see no reason to refuse this latest attempt, however unlikely success may seem...(http://www.jondaryan.qld.gov.au/minutes/20070123minutes.pdf..)On Pop's farm he had many items from aircraft, I remember watching the chick's (baby chickens) grow up in aircraft canopies. Many items were picked up by the public which included wooden propellers. Before he died he still had parts in grease proof paper in the milk shed. There are other stories of one of the old mines being used as a dumping ground for parts still some still in boxes. (always wanted to check this out!) It was always fun checking out the farm as a kid and pretending to drive grandad's old chev's.. Cheers - J |

How would you like to have brought this property? Imagine you're going to live in Portugal. You find a lovely farmhouse set on a decent plot of land. The place has been empty for 15 years... While exploring your new property you find a large barn. The door is padlocked and welded shut and it's all rusted solid. So you grind the padlock and the welds off and......... http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/afa70.htm] Cheers Jason |
