What a shame :(

[Draven]

While doing a very recent road trip to South Australia and back, i noticed this yard at Peak Hill, i wont say to much as i will let the pictures do the talking, but what a waste of classic old steel!!!

[Random Ranger]

What a waste.

[GQ_Smooth]

Make'em an offer, that'll buff right out!

[Streets]

There'd be some good parts in there

[Kable72]

Not Draven, Draaaaaven.

[flooded one]

its a shame. :( where all cars are decent to go eventually

[Draven]

Would love to able to walk in and have a look to see whats actually in there... there was cars up the back as well

[Xauterus]

Isn't it just a scrap yard? Ones in cities just have to turn over their stock due to a lack of space. At least this one has some older stuff still.

[Draven]

Scrap yard or not, its a shame to see so many old Classics just sit there and rust away...

"For sale??? nah mate I'am going to restore them one day"

Nope they dont, i tried to have a look up the back, but didnt hang around to long as we were in a hurry to get back...

They are owned by a Peak Hill resident and he's said no to a gazillion offers over the years.

Sad, sad sight.
From back when most cars were absolutely beautiful. When designers cared to make a car functional, but sometimes quirky, and jaw-dropping to look at.

I would love the car industry to bring some of that back, along with the new advancements. Cars would yet again be something special, I reckon. Not just appliances.

All of those cars would be beautiful if someone did them up again.

I agree 100%!!! I am a much bigger fan of the old steel, doesn't matter if its Ford, Holden, Valiant etc!!! New cars don't have any character to them, nothing but tin cans... No offence to new car owners...

Like the wrecking yard just outside of Cooma NSW, acres of old cars. I went there to buy stuff. would not let me in the gate, and basically got told to "go back to Sydney send a list of what I need and he'll get back to me"

I convinced him after half an our to let me look at what he's got so I can make a list.

loads of complete cars Holden Ford Chrysler XR to XC, Toranas, 50's stuff, complete untouched rusting away.

Sent a list got no response.....

Not sure what he's wrecking but he ain't selling any of the old stuff.

There is a bloke like that here near Scone, has yards and sheds full, when he gets the cars he puts them up on bricks, covers the exhausts with plastic bags and lets them sit. People have offered to buy them off him for good money but he wont budge.

[mad cow]

as gasoline said, none are for sale. ive been past many times... its a sad sad sight

[esp302]

Argh don't you hate the "naaar, Im doin' em up" line. He should let something go to a good home.

[sgt_doofey]

There's a property near here just outside of Tanunda which has what looks like hundreds of cars on it. I drive past it every day on my way to work.

That green on sitting on top of another car centered in two of the pics, I think could be a 61 Dodge Phoenix. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it is.

[Draven]

I tried to read what the badge on the front guard said but couldnt make it out :(

[*ICEMAN*]

Gotta be a gt in that yard.

[Draven]

Need someone to jump the fence and have a good look around in there lol

[ILLaViTaR]
