They are part of Des Walls collection. Either David needs money or space to store them.
I suspect very large figures expected, The Monaro had a LOT of work to get it back to that condition. The Mustang too a lot of work though I believe it had not been cut. Though battered quite often!
The Mustang has the Wayne Fisher 70s Supermodified in the background as well

... and is that a 911 sneaking its bum into the Mustang photo?
That Mustang would have to stake a claim to be THE iconic Australian race car, at least sedan/touring car . I'd better check the piggy bank, I'd expect big money for both, and bigger for the white one.

The Geoghegan Mustang was fully restored by Sydney's Ross Donnelly over a couple of years.
He put it up for auction in 2005. It was bought by Des Wall for, if I recall correctly, about AUD 330K.
Attached is a great article on the car and some truly fantastic action photos.

Wall still has the championship winning ex Jane/ Thomson Monza/Supra to restore.

The auction is complete.
The Mustang sold for AUD 645,000, after 48 bids.
This was a very good return for the Walls compared with what they paid for it.
The Monaro had a highest bid of over AUD 1million after 72 bids, but was passed in.

The Supra will always be the Supra. The Monza was heavily modified by Thommo to what it is now. And I am sure Des upgraded it even further.
I gather it is still complete. Restoration to as Des raced it or as Thommo raced it.
I actually raced against,, or in the same race as that car in all its forms.
The 94AGP sports Sedan race I spent a deal of time with it. And Thommo was determined to beat the Supra in the Benz.
