I have the diff and TC's out of that last one - TC's sold last week to avenger27 on here!
dont rememberwhich one I got radiator out of...
the blue TC I bet a dollar you could put a battery in it and drive it out, IF it wernt for the aforementioned weeks worth of scrubcutting and 2 cars in front of it, apart from you guys I thin kI am the only one who knows its location.... BURIED TREASURE ARRRGH
cos dec last year I took this image of it :

Awesome pictures. It is really sad to see Avengers in that state but I still get a thrill everytime I see one in a scrapyard.
edit : wait no I got my TC's from the wrecker in Waipuk.. possibly the same one kiera uses was down the road opposite Vets
:P
hatching a plan to rescue the blue one...
Yeah man. I am up for a road trip to help you pull it out of the bushes if you need a hand.
and there's at least 2 more I have since found that are not in these image sets... did not inspect either so could just be shell's/rust
Awesome. I will have to go check them out sometime.
In October I am doing a road trip down to Geraldine in the south island and we go through Dannevirke. so I might pop in and say hi on my way back up the island. Maybe we can go check out the Avengers then.

Blue car being extracted now!
Right, we made it home all god, and got it off the truck, and looks surprisingly good for a car thats sat for the last 10 odd years in blackberry. still the same under the bonnett as the first few pics. so hopefully, i can salvage a few bits off it, the get rid of it. I managed to stumple accross a chyrsler avenger wagon too, but the guy wanted too much, so iv left it for now, but hopefully he will get back to me.
mean - reckon ya got a bargin and could use the whole car as is :P
yea the gamble was it sitting on the dirt but surprisingly dry there!
wagon at wilf's or on way hm?
Na i found it on the way home, iv left my number for him, so hopefully he calls me to re-negotiate the price haha
Went back down today to have a look for a Viva grill for another mate sweet wee hole left where it was haha
still doesnt remember me.. "have you seen my models" he says....
Yea he asked us 6 times if we signed the guest book haha. Youl never believe it, but the rg was on hold, so its in my name now, and back on hold haha
i'd believe it.... will ask if he has keys next weekend
I got it running last night, fuel was a bit off, so just cut the fuel line and ran it on fresh stuff. a bit of crc, and a tow start, and away it went! haha. not much rust in the underside, might even be a bit better than my road legal one in places!
I knew it i furikken knew it!
should never have told anyone about this... hahaha
Awesome work guys. It would be great to see another Avenger restored and back on the road.
Looks like you have a bit of a gold mine there Jared.
bah its a bit of a rust farm....
that was 1 wee gem...
pity fork-tractor wasnt working ya woulda got the other TC too! (again my spare parts hahaha)
Still, must be good to have a parts source close by that you can raid for parts.
Yea if only that other tractor went.... Never mind. Next time il get it. If i dont find something closer, i will have to head back down again sometime
found possibly the last one to find, think someone put a badge off something else on it?
is all you can really see of the car...

It is the same "by Chrysler" badge they had on the Valiants. I think Todd Motors put them on a lot of there cars because I have seen them on Hillman Avengers, Valiants and Hunters.
I have one on the back of my Avenger with the "By" bit cut off.
(http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab274/avenga76/IMG_0053.jpg)
You can buy them new from Hemi Performance. They brought them out with the VJ Chargers and Valiants in 73. My Charger is a 72 VH so it missed out of the "by Chrysler" badge.

cool and yea the rust level is an indication of the general state of the "rust farm"
still fascinating none the less :P see something different with every visit..
haha the blue one in the bush reminds me of when i landed mine in the bush. are all those avengers still there or was that ages ago?
only the blue one is gone - I know of 4 inc. the above rust bucket
thats right you need thingy for choke cable-shroud/steering column
yeah but not exactly an emergency lol
oh and i dont get my parts from the wreckers there, but du they have avengers there? i get them from a dude that lives there, he might as well be the wreckers though
wut? where
there was a bit in this thread and u said something about the wreckers i go to? or something? there is a wreckers in waipawa but thats not where i go lol
ahh yea the one in Waipuk is still there - down street opposite the vets on way towards Dvke
yeah the one thats in a little area but so the cars are stacked really high haha
shud do a trip there, but cant think of wjat i could possibly need
There is 10 Avenger at Horopito scrap yard. 3 wagons and 7 sedans.
Hi Guys, if anybody is down in Dannevirke, is there any chance of checking out the roof drip rail mouldings, dont have to have the chrome on them, just need to be able to be removed in one piece
doubt it sorry
there were some new ones available on here somewhere iirc
(I am dannevirke)
