what a waste

....while in New Zealand the car, assembled from CKD kits by importer Todd Motors (later Mitsubishi Motors NZ), was available initially in 4-door and, later, 5-door estate form

Chevy coupe is cherry!Old wheel looks very much like an early Ford one. Nice seat too!

The 2 dr green Yank tank is a 1975 Plymouth Fury. These were the 'downsized' ones after the 73 fuel crisis - the larger ones were renamed Gran Fury (the same shape as the Dodge Monaco (The Bluesmobile)).In 4 dr form these 'B body' cars in Plymouth and Dodge form were very popular as police cars as they were fast and relatively agile due to their smaller size. As seen in all late 70s/80s US cop shows, most notably the favourite steed of Sheriff Roscoe P Coltrane.

I like the way you start of by saying "a few casual spots" !! You have to go to car shows to see stuff like that over here

Liking the E-series Vauxhall.

Awesome spots

And a 620 pick-up! I'd give a testicle to have that on my driveway right now.

Difficult to know what to say about them really, amazing! Not just the scrapyard stuff, but what you get to see on the streets. Extraordinary variety.

Wow! Some excellent finds! Love the blotchy fin-tail Oxford

2,551 · August 24, 2009

Back to Marton-Palmerston Nth looking for retro and still trying to find a set of decent alloys for the Corona..

went to local scrappie in Fielding looking for the elusive wheels...he had heaps of shite but all the really old stuff was squished n stacked around the sides..nice guy actually...good when they aint suspicious of the camera...

Thats a Vanguard ute on top of the Rover

we may buy these set of wheels...5 for $200 which aint to bad..

last week in Patea..nice Civic for $650

August 24, 2009

Several thoughts occur.1. Is your friend an extra in Flight of The Conchords?2. Blotchy Oxford = WIN3. Is that a squished Fregate in the last shot? Mr. Bickle has one of those, I saw it at the Retro Rides Gathering but he buggered off before I could have a chat........

2,551 · August 24, 2009

I kinda know half of the Conchords..ive given it a glance but have no real association..its a Wellington thing...im a small town artist loser...is it a Fregate..i thought it was a Dauphine..but your probably right...the front looks different..

2,551 · October 31, 2009

Havent managed to capture all spots...cos we'd never get anywhere if i was jumping out of the car constantly!..but just did road trip to Wellington this weekend...so came back with this...
