    Hey, that place is just across the state from me! And it's unfortunately several miles North of some of the current wildfires going on right down US 97.

    Oroville is 45 minutes south of me. He parts out a lot of rust free wagons.
    You probably have the only Big Olds clamshell wagon in Australia! Very nice!

    Hey mate,

    Firstly, nice wagon man, real nice!

    Not sure how far you are spreading the for sale message, but there are a couple of groups on Facebook groups you might approach? Melbourne Old School Cruisers is one, 40,000 odd members, the other is Melbourne Longroofs, much smaller but wagon specific.

    Not 100% sure of the process for posting ads on their pages, but can't be hard to work out.

    Cheers
