tellyawhat, those goons (vf and vg) don't grow on trees, tailgate, rear light buckets and rear doors would come in handy for the vg, i've had to store some away for my goon.

The majority of the cars have had their compliance plates removed...... A crying shame.

Nah, my bet is it's a Scorpion. Was meant to be a high end Sigma I think.

I saw about 10 or 12 flat bed tow trucks carrying car bodies out from the area a couple of weeks ago, there used to be a couple of wreckers there.

The area is being cleaned up in preparation for a massive new suburban development.

Cheers.

I was going to speculate they were from Flynns of Cooma but reakon you're on the money there with them coming out of Belconnen. They sat in shoulder high grass behind cyclone fence for decades.

Yep. The black capri could be seen when standing on the fenceline, and the google street view link shows the transit vans at the front as being the same as pickles have.

They have been sitting there for years!

The XA coupe is an original Lime Glaze 500 4.9 auto.

Might be worth saving.

You can start your bidding now.

The v8 charger is at $5,100. It appears the valiant fans are out in force bidding up a storm.
Probably due to these cars being as good as those valiants still running on the roads. Lol.

XR Martin · 07-04-2015, 08:44 PM

XA coupe up to $6k - probably get close to $20k by the end.

I'm not up on the numbers, but is the rolling shell really worth that?

Hitman · 09-04-2015, 01:10 PM

The Scorpion was nothing more than a 2 door sigma, I had one in the late nineties.
They are getting rarer now, I paid $800 for mine and I saw one advertised recently for $3k.
I can't remember the last time I saw 1 on the road.

ebv8 · 09-04-2015, 03:55 PM

i have been watching a few cars, i have my thoughts on prices and i have a price set for 3 of the cars so we will see, so far they are way under my price but its only early yet.

I still have mine. Its white, manual and its not going anywhere!

It doesnt mean much to anyone else, but its my first car and its been in the family since new. Irreplaceable to me.

XR Martin · 12-04-2015, 08:09 PM

Anyone pick anything up? I threw a few bids on some but didnt win anything.

I think the Charger got the most at around $20k
XA Coupe was around $8k I think.

I would have thought $8000 for an XA superbird would have been good.

CyberWasp · 13-04-2015, 08:17 AM

I think the Charger was an Ex Police Charger but I don't know why it went that high.
The other one had an RT Dashboard which would have been worth a bit as a part. I did not see the final price on it though.

ebv8 · 13-04-2015, 08:21 AM

i was blown away with some of the prices they went for, i hope the people that bid actually inspected the cars first otherwise might be alot of dissapointed net bandits
but i bet we see alot of them on ebay next week for double the price
I was looking car and it was $620 3 hours before the end, shot up to $1950 1 hour before then i didn't see the final figure
