On Bring a Trailer only four Torinos https://bringatrailer.com/ford/torino/ have ever sold for more than USD80,000. One of those was a Cobra Jet (CJ) powered GT convertible and the three others were Super Cobra Jet (SCJ) Cobras. A fifth Cobra SCJ was bid to USD85,000, but at the time was a no...

Hi @jarhead, now you'll understand what I've been up to. It's been a huge undertaking and at times I've simply had to limit my time on Facebook, forum boards etc. etc. As you know, I have popped up occasionally looking for a few parts I'm searching for. I'm sure am looking forward to bringing...

Post #0071g - War of the weeds – Tidying and solarisation continued - Part LXVI This is the final update in Part LXVI #0071. The next photo is of the downslope side of the swale drain as it heads towards the gully. Again, it’s dominated by Paspalum sp., whereas today (2026) it’s been overrun...

Another strong result selling for USD $60,000 1997 Ford F-350 XLT Crew Cab Power Stroke 4 x 4 with 64k miles. Going by the 30-year rule our Honda Jazz will become collectable in 2044 :LOL:

@Tactile, the same as the last time because so many of us don't learn from history. For many it will mean setbacks. For example, significant losses of retirement savings/investments whether this is in superannuation, direct investments in shares and property, non-bank/private lending etc...

So, here we go. Do you remember the February 2020 stock market crash that occurred during the first year of COVID? Many believe it was the result of financial markets responding to the outbreak of COVID. There are a lot of analysts that forecast price using mathematical approaches that are...

@Tactile, I checked that out. Did you read the first, second or both books.

@Tactile I can understand. Being an engineer too, I needed convincing, but in the end my reading about unusual financial correlations that are observed by people smarter than me, broader concepts of cycles (in fact there's an entire foundation in the USA that was originally set up by government...

@Tactile what surprises me is that most of these financial experts don't understand the importance of the property market. Those that do, don't understand that there is a long cycle. WD Gann did not understand the property cycle but his financial timetable, which is now believed to have been...

@Tactile, if I'm right it sounds like you know of WD Gann which is exciting! I'd enjoy you elaborating either here or via DM. I have not had the time over the last 4+ years to explore his work and teachings more, and one of the subscription newsletters I receive on the Australian property...

Good pickup on the detail. I'm not familiar with the Camaro and I had to do some research on the specific car and that's what the reference sources said. I see @Geoff289 has added some more information which adds a twist to the story and explains why it looked like an earlier model.

I hear ya! Often I find I need to fill a need for something quickly and, if I can foresee a need for more than one of the items I'm chasing, I'll typically go to a reliable source first, then eventually I'll do the research and consider buying a better, higher quality, extra features, just...

Mine too, I have had many similar experiences. We're pioneers! You would think they'd get it. After all, we're shopping at specialised suppliers of detailing products, not at Bunnings. I have just brought in some nice Japanese KTC plastic trim removal tools, German Hazet tools, Japanese...

@Lyndon ages ago before we moved to QLD I saw that regular tours were conducted and also hoped one day to see the collection. I think the format changed over the years and in the end there were tickets linked to Bowden's products purchases. Then the tours stopped. Is that right or is this...

@DaaavidW extra land, now that's got to be worth something. So, what are you looking for in terms of a new home?

@D.F.B you know that red, white and blue works with American cars! Just looking across a few suppliers it seems different coloured bucket dollies aren't easy to find, unless you go with the original Grit Guard via Amazon.

@a57belair2 we're just in the process of relocating and I anticipate much of same. I've collected car parts since 2009, before that it was...

Post #0071f - War of the weeds – Tidying and solarisation continued - Part LXVI I decided to add two more updates to post #0071. These are really just to show what state the pasture was in about halfway through 2025. So, about six months into the start of really actively managing the five acres...

@zanyad kinda just lucky, as it was a coincidence we happened to be here when the All Ford Day was on. It was good to see a few familiar faces that we hadn't seen in many years. Mind you, you've got to wonder what's going on when someone you haven't seen in more that 10 years looks completely...

@hewey, yep I quite liked that Galaxie too, even better as a two-door. My wife could see herself in that DJR Anniversary Mustang but she wants a red one :D (y)
