I know its not beddy's but this is a shame if you are a true car guy,just in from a COE mate.
Subject: 1950 to 78 GMC Chevrolet and Other Pickups to be crushed - Edmonton Collector Cars For Sale - Kijiji Edmonton Canada.
At $450 each and less if one buys more than 2, one could pick up a pretty cool project vehicle or make a good profit on.
There are tons of classic trucks which are getting really hard to find these days.
There is also 1968-69 Impalas and 1970 to 1972 Olds Cutlas that are great money makers for parts or project cars too.

I really think that it is worth looking into and we need to save as many of these as we can from the crusher which is going to happen in a couple weeks from now.
Cheers!

Okay I emailed the guy for a list, once I get it I will post it here then ring him with what you want.
You will need to have funds ready to go. I can use a trustworthy go between who will only hand over money once titles and or bill of sale is supplied.
Shipping times should be 8 -10 weeks.
Will cost about $3900 per car to ship to WA.
This is an appoximate cost
I am comfortable quoting that price but do so knowing it might be a bit more.
Bank on each one costing you about $6g landed in WA. About $5g and a bit for Brisbane and Melbourne,Sydney I need to check.
These figures are based om 3 cars per container.
I can do all the arranging and organising and am happy to show figures as I dont need to make any moneys out of it myself just cover costs I can show you.
You need to be able to tell me in the next 48 hours if you are in,the more there are the cheaper it will be.
Obviously first in best dressed on choice of cars!

Just one other thing I should mention.
Remember you are buying from a storage yard.
No guarantee they will run or that they are not rusted out or dented.
I will ask for individual photos of your selections but they may not be available..
Caveat emptor!

Hey Brian.....Neil was telling me about 2 months ago that there has been a major crackdown on the importation of vehicles into Australia from the USA. Some thing about you had to have extremely detailed paperwork of the vehicle and it has to be 100% original to get it licensed here? :-\
-
Yes I have been following it very closley.
They knocked back 3 vehicles here in Perth and another 6 in the east.
The paper work was incorrect ie they lied about what they were exactly importing.
Typical govt department decided to crack down and do every thing by the letter of the law.
So basically if you import anything, you have to have acurate photos and description.
Also any modifications that have been done since 1989 have to be listed. Hard to prove really but if you are honest and accurate it wont be a problem.
The main thing now is to have import approval before it leaves its original country of origin,"just in case they dont approve it" then you can appeal and thats usually a 6 week deal.
It is harder but in reality fairer and it was the Japanese imports of sports sedans than triggered the problem.
-
yes they can be hard, anything other than a custom paint and a set wheels could mean it has to be sent back (or as a bloke here in Ballarat has done, foward it on to New Zealand, change what he has to and bring it back) Pre 1988 cars are easier, and by the photo they all look much older and stock, so they should be a breaze. ::)
