Maybe the HD (hardly driveable) Holden, they were so bad you'd have to have one in your collection.

I turned down a pair of XM Falcons for free many years back. I went with my brother in law to a guys farm where he had heaps of old cars...him to buy a 1937 Ford ute, me to pick up a 1938 DeSoto...and the old guy had a pair of XM sedans sitting in front of the DeSoto. They were both white, dirty, but pretty much rust free and with red interiors (one with torn seats but the other intact). They both had engines with little chrome metal plates spot welded to the side saying "Factory remanufactured engine", and gave oversize sizes for bearings and bore. I pried off the plates and kept them (I'll scan one in if anyone is interested).
The guy told us they were going to the dump, and we could have them if we wanted them. I was dazzled by the big old DeSoto, and said no...
