Vacation Paradise

Forget the beach and the mountians or Las Vegas. Here is the real vacation paradise.

Be real nice to me and I'll tell you where this place is. You can even see it on Google Earth.

Sweet! What's the deal on that Torino? I found one just like it in the junkyard that I mentioned on my previous post in this forum. I know the Torino itself isn't a rare vehicle but it appears this one is (the honeycomb trim on the rear deck lid....?)

The place is called Saunders Cars and the number is 803-266-4301. The place is out in the middle of nowhere. Good Luck!!!

I believe it's a '71 Torino GT. Just trying to determine if it's a rare Cobra edition. I actually have a '68 Torino GT.

And if that place has no vacancy, you may want to book yourself into this place I went to in Blane Lake, Saskatchewan.

I might take a little vacation to Edmonton this summer. ;-)

Alberta Auction Guide.Com, Auctions you can Find directly from the Advertiser. Your Upcoming Sales across the state for auctioneers of farms, antiques, real estate, construction, trucks, art and collectibles. Many other auctions sale in Eastern Canad

It wouldn't be fair if I didn't list my personal favorite place to kick back, walk around, and waste a day.



Hilltop auto wreckers, 20K south of Peace River AB. The old trucks are 3 rows in, bottom right. I almost pulled a Pontiac Chieftan with a straight 8 out of there last summer, than remembered I had a truck to finish first. Almost everything is pre-80's, it's an amazing collection. Unfortunately their are less and less old Fords everytime I go back, I hope they're going to good homes.

Hey Oildrop, nice to see another feller from GP on here....I too have spent a full day on two separate occasions out at Hilltop Auto Wreckers. The site supervisor (Rob) knows where every thing is two. Tell him what your looking for and he will tell you exactly where to find it.

The Auction in Sherwood Park looks interesting and I'd hate to miss it but if I went, I wouldn't have any room in the yard for my current project and I'd spend my summer hauling stuff home instead of fixing the one I got.

F-5 $500.00

My son stopped by this place on Monday and he says the guy has an F-5 for $500.00 that is missing a carburetor. Not sure of condition or the year. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone is interested.
