    Really?
    The only ones worth any sort of money are the ones that made some form of history, and all of those are well sewn up. You aren't going to find a piece of Moffat, Geoghan or Brock history in a shed somewhere. The prices for the cars that were 'associated' with those drivers are ridiculous.
    I'd love to find a GTHO, or a Monaro, or a Torana, or a Beechy car, one that actually raced, in a shed somewhere. But I won't , and neither will you.

    Years ago a friend took a car off a farm in lieu of his last weeks wages. Had no real idea what it was just that it was interesting and knew how the boss worked so the deal was done. Neither thought it was worth any real value. A while later when started to figure out what was going to be required to put it back on the road found out it was the first one of that model produced. Had some very tempting offers from the U.K. for it as was
