Checked out E-Bay lately?How about carpoint? 59 mustangs for sale in Australia on e-Bay and on carpoint 113.So maybe a double up here and there , but how many 4 sale all together in Australia.Does this mean the more we import these classics, the more there is available , thus lowering the price of what we thought was a love affair that would not cost us money in the long term, but actually prove to be an enjoyable investment.Maybe I'll throw a cat amongst the pigeons but before buyers rush off to import a bargain , do ALL the sums and check out the backyard.You might be surprised if patient.::soap::violin::soap:

Good point, having just bought Unique Cars, and Just Cars as a distraction while flying to Qld, I was surprised how many well priced pony's there are for sale in Aus..

Good on'ya guys for your responses.I thought there maybe little more feeling out there, but obviously not. Over supply and  demand???.Every time an import hits the dock, our value changes.Maybe to the extreme that we equalize with the U.S.!!! Not a bad subject for a debate eh.?:soap:

Yep, plenty for sale including mine. Just be careful, most will have rust. Will be hard to find anything decent under 30k.
Mine is 29k but has a 6/200

Thats easy!!

The POS package, includes:-

Shoddy Paint
Poorly repaired damage
Large Rust area's,
smoky engine,
crap interior,
worn and cracked rubber ware
worn out suspension componants
flogged out brakes.

Options within the POS package include:
No brakes at all,
Your choice of Fibreglass or glued/pop riveted rust repair panels.
90 % of brightwork damaged beyond repair (or not present at all)
Your choice of an engine that doesn't run at all, or one with a resistor to ground to indicate quality oil pressure

And this months special, Free rust scale in the fuel system.

Enjoy.
