On todays episode we do the full Cleveland Spares shed collection tour, and then we have a look at what’s out in the yard. This is Part 2 of the Aussie Garage Interview with Cleveland Spares in Melbourne. This place is a feast for the sensors, you find yourself surrounded by Aussie muscle cars, advertising signs, old petrol bowsers, 80’s BMX bikes, and so much more. But its the cars that are the stars of the show. First we look at Rob’s XW Ford Falcon GT, its a factory Windsor engine and Top loader car and is in great original condition. But as we know Rob loves to get a bit more go in his cars so it has a hottie motor and auto in it at the moment.

Then we have a look at Cass’s XC Ford Falcon GXL or “a hamburger with the lot” as Rob called it. It has a factory sunroof 351 engine, its a factory 9 inch tramp rod car and it was there family car back in the day. This is when we entered the GM section, Rob has an interest in all cars not just Fords so he shows us his 57 Chevy, HX Holden Sandman tribute and a 1967 Chevy Camaro SS . There is also a Holden Monaro there but we will talk to Cass about that later. After that, its the Hot Rod collection.

We start with an Model A Roadster that he bought with his dad, it has a really nice old school rod feel to it. There is also a 41 Willies that is being done to be a nostalgic drag car with a 454 big block. then there’s a 1940 Ford Truck that he has put on a late 70’s Hilux chassis, its been set up for a small block Chev and turbo 400. And the last thing inside is his F100 shop truck that is way to nice to use as a shop truck. Then we hit the yard. there is some interesting things out there. Like a XY with flared guards, grafted Mustang rear end Mustang cut outs in the sides, XB dash graft and heaps of other mods. Just a stripped shell now it used to be a show car in the 70’s or 80’s.

There is also a genuine XW Ford Falcon GT with its tags. It was filled end for end back in the day and then was stripped. But Rob is thinking about weather it can be brought back to life. There is also various cars for sale. This really was an awesome collection of cars and memorabilia.

We ended up spending all day there. We hope you enjoy this instalment of Cleveland Spares. There is one more to go where we check out a couple of coups. Thanks for watching.
