it might be worth reading the fine print

which states that a fee of $440 has to be paid
on top of the winning bid.

So how do we bid or do we have to be up there?


You can register and bid online with pickles, they need a credit card number and for each auction you want to bid in they will put $500 aside on your card, if you don't win anything the $500 goes back on your card within 7 days. They do have certain time frames of when the vehicle needs to be removed from their yard otherwise you'll be charged storage fees

They have a fair bit of info on their site...: http://www.pickles.com.au/cars/?contentId=584

True, but I think it'd be more of a good start as a resto project.
Can you imagine the state of the gearboxes :lol:

the all look quite clean, obviously the motors will be a bit stuffed but they look like a good place to start..

I'm really tempted to fly up.. What kinda prices do we think they'll go for?

I dont want to fly up to watch them go for 5k each

they're all gal bodies, and look at the floors, some have been repaired, but others are original...

they'll be 2-5K each for the ones with engines I reckon
