It is all in the eye of the beholder or should I say "restorer". Bendigo Swap actually started out with mainly auto parts, and any military parts that are found are a bonus. As for the 60's and 70's cars that are being restored, a large percentage of these are being done by mature restorers. The supply of parts and restorable cars older than this is slowly drying up. Most younger people would probably find anthing older than 1960's are out of their price range. At least it get's them started in the restoration business and they can later move onto bigger and better things maybe even "military vehicles".
