Used to have to run around striping out cars to for fill orders. I remember ripping apart an old Charger 770 SE E55 Allot of Italians had chargers in the area he was at, so his yard was full of the buggers. they seem tobe worth a few bucks now. I still have the badge from that one some where. My uncle wanted the Motor out of that one for his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the charger or the monaro deserves the title but they sure did have good taste in cars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yer mums side are Italians So they had nice cars lol. My uncle was notorious for his chargers, He also had a HDT Peter Brock Special also at one point, But he hated that car, But those Chargers, and Monaro's were certainly wog mobiles lol. So when he was younger He used say it was Charger Vs GTHO which was Wogs vs Skippy's lol. I think He secretly was a ford guy as every car since that HDT has been a Ford. But in the 70's the most Italians didnt drive fords. lol Edited June 21, 2018 by jason1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uncle wanted the Motor out of that one for his When I was 17, I had a thing for GTR Toranas, you could find them in the paper every week anywhere from $500 to $2000, so as I had a few spare $ back then I purchased about 4 GTR's and a genuine LC XU1, the LC I pulled the motor and within a couple of months it had a 308 sitting in it, had a ball in that car, ended up crashing it and wrecking it out, the 4 GTR's met the same fate and were wrecked out, I remember cutting the gaurd's from the body's and dumping the shells, I still had the ID tags from all 4 cars in a tin shed at my mothers house, that shed was removed early 2000's and the tags were thrown out with the old tin shed :cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8racefan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Just read online today that the Brocky 30 car collection is to be auctioned in September this year by Lloyds on the Gold Coast. I believe this is the collection that has been displayed at Dreamworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
