Default Cars that pop up on Ebay...

So I was bored waiting to get ready for work and decided to have a trawl around the net looking at cars for sale and doing a bit of dreaming...

Interesting old race car.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Falc...item25a87bb0cd

Could be interesting...needs a bit of work though...
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ford-xd-e...item3cfcd7da62

Could have potential if you were doing a kit of some sort...
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1979-Ferr...40042338&rt=nc

And I can't remember the last time I saw a UC Torana much less one for sale...we used to own a UC Sunbird and it was a fantastic car, they really got the chassis well done for the last of them...
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Torana-UC...07bfb#viTabs_0

Or a TE Cortina Ghia come to that...we had one of these too...a Rally Pack. This one looks to be a very nice one indeed...
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/cortina-s...item25a88845eb

What have other people stumbled upon...? Surely I'm not the only one that does this and tries to figure out how to slip a purchase past the Minister Of Finance...

If I could buy it for the same $3500 I bought my old XB GS Coupe (351/4-speed) for which was reg/RWC then I'd be interested ..

Great thread!

I'm the same as I tend to just waste time on ebay looking at different things (usually cars & boats).

Don't have any intention of buying anything, but it is interesting to see what's out there and what people are asking for them.

Bloody Dangerous

"Oh look, I have half an hour to kill before work..." Jump on computer for look around

One and a half hours later...

"Oh S....... I'm late for work"

Why do computers make time disappear like no other?

I just bought a 1940's Ford Prefect ute off ebay. Can't blame alcohol though. It was my own stupidity.

Steady on, that is a complete, going, log booked and verified touring car with competition history. Yes, a lot of money but the last one that came up was double the price!! These don't come up all the time.
