In a wrecking yard in Toronto NSW, A super rare Twilight Turquoise FB wagon!
How cool would it be to see this beauty on the road again!

Ive been to that wrecking yard at Toronto.
Hes a friendly bloke and has sensible prices.
Breaks up mostly early Holdens.
A genuine car nut who knows you cant save them all.
He has a lot of gear inside under cover as well,including a bit of nos stuff.
He also sells stuff on ebay.
I think his ebay name is ozbox.

Wrecking yards cars with old holdens are really drying up, or have already. Some people winge about paying this and that for a part from a wrecker, then spend weeks and $$$ in petrol driving around looking for one cheaper.
i paid $75 in 09 each for an outer front bumper end and rear overrider from Old Oldens in Adelaide.
These parts were rust free and not dented . They needed replating.
Who's to say I would of -
a) get a better item elsewhere
b) get them cheaper
These things are really drying up!
I needed them, they had them there and then. I bought them for heaps more than I ever expected, but I now have 2 very good parts on my car
cheers

Classic oz wreck
When I was young I lived at Rathmines just near Toronto
The owners name is Greg or was he was going to sell it a while ago not sure if he did
My father had considered buying it
He has had a lot of holdens!
I have heard but don't know if its true that he has parts sheds with a lot of quality parts
