Well, it's not exactly a barn.... but driving from Perth to Bunbury, I passed a XW Fairmont V8 which was for sale in Harvey. It was inside a shed with a glass front (like an old mechanic shop) Said for sale and the bonnet was up.
From what I could gather it looked pretty tidy.... |

The main street of Harvey, across the road from the bakery, 'Eureka Bakery' I think it's called. Coming from Perth, I turned right into the town centre, then before the railway bridge, there is a bakery on your right and on your left is a white shed with glass front. It was in there. If you do go, let me know what you find and what it's like. Just really curius. Sam |

![]() Recently we moved and seeing I own to many cars I decided to cull at least one project , towie arrives and his eyes hit the stalks , makes an offer on a couple of cars and eventually he moves everything and becomes the proud owner of a 48 Austin van on a hand built chassis with a clevo motor and fmx/9" , he swapped me a really clean 97 Wagon for the A40 which needed mountains of work to be finished ,I was happy until a mate ofered to take the wagon off my hands for more than the A40 owed me and then some . Im now a very happy owner of a Daimler Double 6 with a very warm 5.8 Wheezr and 4 speed auto..so now there are two very tidy jags and a Ford in the drive > some weeks you have a win , now I just have to find storage for my little 64 Ford coupe till I get around to finishing... ![]() I hope you find a coupe but give though to something like a 65 or 66 sedan with mods that can be had still quite cheaply . Ps: My first GT /351 cost me $4700 new back when |

one of my best mates pop found an old FX holden in a paddock down near Bylong NSW and is in the middle of restoring it..
A car i always see in a paddock behind a house looks like an XW - XY Falcon GT..is white and has all the black stripes, superoo stickers, spoiler and wheels..i keep thinking to myself it must just be a replica because no way in hell you would keep a genuine GT out in the weather like that but recently i have noticed he has moved it into the shed.. makes you kind of think! One of my school mates lives on a property with what seems like hundreds of cars..I went up and had a look and found what looks to be a XE ESP..It is red with the black/grey down the bottom with a yellow line. Even has the wheels but I looked closer and couldn't find any of the ID tags (my geuss someone took them).. They also have other cars like a Valiant/chrysler panelvan with the stripes down the side etc. Up there i found an XC ute that was white with the full cobra blue stripes up the middle, around the wheel arches and had cobra decals on the gaurds. I lost count but there are heaps and heaps of cars..His dad even said he has a 427 cobra jet motor lying around (hidden) from an old american cop car.

I didnt take a camera the day i Picked up my XB coupe from an old machinery shed on a farm a few hours south of Perth. Looked like the pics on here covered in dust under a pile of junk sitting next to two XP coupes. Cost me 500 bucks 3 or 4 years ago. Falcon 500 complete car minus engine and gearbox but with all the GS options.

A mate and i went and had a look at that fairmont, Very, very straight! its not licenced but was licenced with a 289 in it, which is odd because i dont think they came with them.. there was only minor surface rust, interior was in good nick. Bloke is prolly looking for $15-$20,000. Heres a shot of it: ![]() |
