I heard through the Grape Vine that in Murwillimbah Northern NSW there is a supposed to be a GT in pieces under a tarp next to an old house. The Lady owner wants $500 for it. I Think the address is 108 Reserve Creek Road. Might be worth a look to someone close. Sorry have no more info. Some one will have to go and have a look. Might be a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Don't ask me any more Questions I have given you all the info I have. Sorry I have no Phone number. Good luck.

You haven't just set a mate up for hordes of visitors with trailers when he's back from his honeymoon or something now have you ???

I've heard of this one for many years but previously they wouldn't let anyone look at it to verify it was a GT and they were "gunna do it up" . Be good if it is a GT and they are now selling it .

NO I am not setting any one up. Would I do that ?... I am just passing on Info that got to me. Weather it is true or not I have no Idea. I am sure it would be worth a drive if any one lives around there it being a GT or not.

I'm not too sure about the motives of the orginal post, but there is the address, seems to be "something" under a trap on the left of a green colored shack.

Contact the owner - Lord Lucan :lol:

Haven't I heard that you and another party have already looked at this car and found it not to be a GT and also that it is the biggest heap of junk that has been seen for a while :?

My daughters local council (and I'm sure others are /will do it) are checking Google Maps for un-authorised constructions and backyard pools and then knock on doors when there is no permits issued :shock:

Someone there must have time on their hands. And apparently not content with what they are paid to do - just pick up the garbage. :roll:

The one of our place has changed twice since they started showing them - may be old but they may change them regularly.

They use picture comparison software - first used to compare spy photos and developed into a commercial program in the medical profession to compare skin photos looking for melanomas now has other applications :roll:

I hope our council uses Google Maps. In the nearby town of Marulan Google had a very poor resolution but fairly recent photo, they recently changed to a higher resolution photo. But the new photo is about 12 years old! :lol:
