If it were a Ford it wouldve been sweet, new gas in the tank, change the plugs an oil, she'd fire right up

Those Monaros are not my thing at all, but it's always sad to see any irreplacable old machine come to an end like that.
I remember crossing Cook Strait in pretty bad weather once, and I was more worried about the idea that if anything bad happened my old Triumph would be on the bottom of the sea for ever, much more than I thought about having to get into the life rafts or anything like that!

Um. I don't know how I missed this comment. " How do I know this was on the Rena" - Because a 1972 GTS Monaro was onboard the Rena when she hit the Astrolabe Reef last year. Because this is a picture of a 1972 GTS Monaro, which is in the CMA yard, where the containers and cargo from the Rena is getting sorted. Because, it appears this car has been underwater for almost a year, in a completely disintergrated container, in heavy swells.
Shall I continue!

That container has the top and sidegas axed not openedby rolling around in the sea lines are too straight

The container would have the most damage on its weakest parts ie the sides and roof,They would have to gas axe the damaged parts to get the car out,it probly wouldnt be able to be pulled out through the container doors if it had half the container crushed down on the car.Pretty simple reason why they would have gas axed the sides out,thats if the container was infact the sunken one and not a transport one like another poster has suggested.

For the car to be that damaged the container would be bent have a look at the doors and the other end looks straight to me wouldnt you just blow the hinges off the doors and go in that way good attempt but no cigar

I can't believe you guys are questioning the authenticity of the photo.The owner of the photo, it gives his name somewhere at the bottom of the photo, if you click on it, it takes you to his fb page, his job description is "crane operator/driver CMA recycling".
Its almost as if someone is grumpy because someone else posted the photo before they got a chance to

Ahhhh ffs LMFAO!Ok you're right, someone went to the trouble of burning out a Monaro, taking a photo of it and then photoshopping it into a cut open container . or. someone went to the trouble of burning out a Monaro, getting it delivered to a recycling yard, put it in a cut out container and then posted the photos on facebook. You have got to be joking me. right!
Hilarious. thanks for the laughs guys
