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

[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.

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

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

[Draven]

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

Old cars that not so long ago no one gave a toss about .....
My local scrappie stacks em that high and his yard gets cleared out every few weeks, then the whole yard is full and stacked again within another few weeks
He even had a coupla MK 1 zephyrs not long ago, drove a forklift right threw the side to unload and stack, on top of some busted up EJs
To him its scrap nothing more nothing less
He has a bin full of alloy rims, every time im there I rummage threw them
Yep waste bins of old skool alloys all of to sims

[Draven]

Yep that ***** me!!!

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...

[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]

Hoard and trash ftl

[XW-BAXR6T]

Crying shame...This need to be outlawed with a few years prison...

There's a place sort of like this near where I live I went Up as a 17 year old saying that I am into old school stuff and would like to talk to the owner. I left my name number with the house keeper. No response after several months will go back up there on the weekend.

I think I speak/write a similar sentiment to other members when I say my heart dropped when I saw this. I owned an EK Holden wagon (first photo) as well as an FB which are both represented here and the 48/215 looks like a prime candidate for a full resto. And that is a Dodge Phoenix sat on top

[pottery beige]

theyre cool to look at

but you cant save every rusty old wreck
