If he's gone belly up and they have been repossessed by a finance company,that would be why they are at Pickles and not Shannons or one of the other specialists.

I know what you mean.
He would have known he was going belly up 3 months ago. I would have sold them one at a time to try and keep the business going until better times which up here is just around the corner. |

That 427 Monaro is the star. It's almost like a modern day equivalent to the calypso green XA GTHO.

I think he had the first and last W427 also.
Imagine what they will look like when they go to auction after sitting in a pickles auction yard surrounded by smashed up VE's.They won't be so shiny then. |

The DJR Turbo XE was what got my attention...
Though there is a GREAT range of early and late model muscle there... should be interesting result...

Sorry by those GTS-R's are ************** ugly as sin.
One would assume having 79 km's on a 14 year old car would probably have some serious issues with the motor being run in? |

Nice XC Cobra, but that photo just confirms the need for bigger rubber under an **** that wide....

Although if there's room on the truck the HRT427 would be a nice little thing to run down to the shops in every now and then. Good boot space too.
