Cars you have sent to the car graveyard

[seek]

Not sure if anyone has done a post like this before, had a brief search couldn't find anything.


Basically just list the cars you've sent to the car graveyard. Which model, how and when!

I'll start it off.


Vl commodore, red, manual ( first car ). Lent it to my brother, some lady hit him at 50km/ph - Was upset just glad he was alright.

Vs s pack - Rammed up some guys ass, minor damage.. Week later slid out in the wet doing stupid shit, hit a light pole in the rear 180* rotation. My own fault.

Currently driving a VP commy, had a few near misses but going strong!!

Pics are welcome guys of the damage!


If there is already a post up let me know and I'll pull this down

im going to get crucified for this but anyways..

i had a vk calais original V8 auto shell in the backyard for a while, it was mint apart from a little bit of rust at the bottom of the rear screen and a tiny dent in the rear of a sill where it must have jumped the jack.

i tried to get rid of it (years before i was on here) had it on ebay with starting bid of $50, no-one wanted it so when the scrap metal truck came around for a yard clean up the calais went too! was kind of devastating seeing the crane on the scrap truck squash the roof in

[bogan_vk]

[VP-CLUBBY]

Shooting bus.

[Wombles]

An EF Falcon. Poor tires, black ice, bend in road, inexperience. 'Nough said.

[Calaber]

Multiple early Holdens, pre 1965. Even an FX sedan which was a dead set restorer - dumped. FJ Panel Van - same thing. Worth nothing in the early 70's, but now? Rare as rocking horse shit.

Any one of them would be worth a mint today, even in the condition they were when I dumped them.

[Adds_05]

$300 95 magna, severe timing chain rattle,6 months vic rego, red dust everywhere in the car and no matter how many times you tried to get rid of it, it would reappear.
wasnt actually a bad car,gutless as shit,shocking turning circle but the ride was pretty good,body was in good nic.
sold it to the wreckers for $200 when the rego ran out...

[BRAWT_4TH]

vs statesman was soo happy to have it for a first car not to mention i got it for free licenced and all so i decided i would fix it up im a panle beater so outside got a fulll makeoverr respray in quiksilver 1 month after getting my license it was back on the road crashed it into some shitty old falcon and wrote the front end of i still have it so hasent gone to waste i straightened up everything but put a stock vs front end on it

[Hangman]

A vp commodore, an eb foulcan, 2 lx toranas and a uc torana.

And the vn I have here after I take what I need off it.

[Reaper]

Cars I have personally been responsible for killing:

LX SS Hatchback - kinda feel bad about that one - was straight as a die and rust free too
LX SL Hatchback - A9X Mockup. Had rust in the rear 1/4's but was good up top till the engine fell thru the firewall and put a rollercoaster dip in the roof.

Reaper

[calais24/7]

Personnaly, 4 vl's lol. And we have been through a few skid cars that ended up going to the crusher

[edals]

1987 Nissan Pintara GXE (Luxury LOL)
The Engine had a good 500k on it, Blown head gasket for at least 100k of that. But the rust got to it first and made it UN-roadworthy lol Who would of thought ?
Best Seats ever though, so soft And the Arm rest was in the perfect spot to rest your arm and still steer

[seek]

Haha, keep them rolling in guys. Had a few laughs

[DAKSTER]

FB panelvan.. we had a car burning party, drove the registered but pretty much dead FB to a nice quiet spot and torched it.. ran out of fuel in the other car on the way home and remembered the FB had had a full tank..

HR Premier sedan.. unregistered, drove it to Kahlin ( at the time the most expensive real estate in Darwin ) and parked it at 3am in the drive at some victims house, behind a Jag and a Merc. Locked it up and took the keys with us.

Mazda 1500 ute.. blown head gasket took it down our local rural tip and did donuts for an hour, couldnt make it die. Started ramming trees with it, couldnt kill it. Rolled it a couple times, stuck it back on its wheels and kept driving. 3hrs later we torched it, motor still running..

CM Valiant Regal named 'Vince'.. got a new paint job with house paint and a brush once a month. Had a hole in the sump, no point in adding oil.. You could take it for one drive a day. You could go 20km or 50km, didnt matter, but every time as you came down the hill to our place on the way home the motor would sieze. Roll into the driveway, park it. Come out the next morning and start it up no problem.. ready for the next single trip. Dunno what happened to 'Vince', a house member kept it when I moved out, but it was doing that for at least 6 months.

Numerous others, those just stand out in my mind.

I've only sent one to the graveyard. Our old hilux spotlighting car, drove into a tree

[drift-it]

me and mates killed a couple.

old 170b i think. running on 3 cylinders, gutted it and drifted around the paddock a few times until we rolled it, chopped the roof off and drove it into the river,

old school sigma another paddock basher. cut the roof off and flogged it up and down the property until it caught fire.

eb wagon at work. backpackers couldnt afford to fix a cracked head. so they left us the car and everything in it! g-strings, fry pans, golf balls, sextoys everything (3chicks ) so we filled the cracks with some metal putty stuff, chucked a spare headgasket on and clamped it down and did skids until the valves basically fell out

[HamaTime™]

VL Manual Wagon, had 970,000k's on the clock when I bought it off the original owner who bought it brand new in 1987.

Was my paddock basher/burnout car until the fuel pump/filter died, alot of stacks in the paddock and now it sits in Neerim collecting rust...

Bit painful, I imagine. How did they react?

[ari666]

hehehe:

1992 toyota ariso. 2jz twin turbo. reason: japanese dudes had chopped the 1/4 panels off to fit a fibreglass 'fat boy' body kit. we decided it was too extensive to comply, no other RAWS would touch it, so it went to the crusher

1989 skyline GTR 2.6ltr twin turbo. RUST RUST RUST RUST. same deal. crusher.

1998 nissan silvia SR20det same deal. rust and damage. no other RAWS would transfer it so iff to the crusher

1993 nissan skyline GTst 2.5ltr RB25det transplant. 180rwkw on the dyno. spent tonnes on this car then wrapped it round a tree

[Hangman]

Forgot one. Datto 120y. No rego, no licence :P. Killed it on the M4, left it there and hitched a ride back up the blue mountains.

[VK SL 3800]

So far,

1992 VP ute,
1983 GB meteor
1999 HSV XU6

[Big_Simmo]

vk commy which was stuck in 2nd gear, handbrake which wouldnt work and reverse that would only work every now and then.
Chopped the top with the grinder to create an awesome convertible, went through maccas drive through with 14 of us in it, then went out to industrial area and did donuts until 2nd gear decided to shit itself, then did reverse donuts until it prettymuch died.

threw it in N (as nothing else worked) rock on the gas until it started spitting fire out the exhaust then it met a firey end

[maginoodle]

way too many to even remember. scraped about 10 vns in the last 2 years, a vs ss this year plus various fords and excels that are donor cars. various others through the years ranging from fb's thru to vt's.
about 15 years ago i did a big clean up around town here and ended up dumping around 20 commys they were all vb/c/h/k. most of them were pretty well striped before i got them. probably half of them didnt even come off the trailer to take anything of them i just got the lights/dashes etc out of them while they were on the trailer.
i curently have a vl a vb, 2 vn's and a vr that will be scrapped eventually if i dont find new homes for them.

[HSV5L]

too many fords and holdens too list
