Hi
Does anyone near Bristol want a couple of Trojans?
They were there last year and developers want to clear the site so get in quick.

Very crispy, but just awoken from a 40 year slumber.

often see old cars rusting gently in front gardens. posting isn't a good idea if number plates etc. are on show.
sadly those pictures that get posted are under 'photo bucket' so cannot be seen. pity.

I had to walk down a steep hill to view this Pick up at the bottom.
I had to pirate the two "port holes" on the hood. The other side "port holes" were damaged.

It has gone missing since the last time I visited it.
Hope somebody does it some good- too bad it wasn't me

Now that looks like a superb find, hope the reason its gone is to be restored.

My pal just bought it for $500. It was parked with no engine on a old cattle ranch up in the Chilcotin plateau in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia.
no much for paved roads up there.

This was one of the first 4x4 trucks in the area mostly horses
it is still solid and clean
4speed AM radio
I think it is a 1965 Ford
