Dominic Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) PRICE IS CORRECT: $5,000 drive away. Built by Lansvale Smash repairs and starting life as a VN commodore, This 5.0 litre mildly worked engine is fitted with a 5 speed close ratio short throw gearbox exiting via headers and a two into one exhaust system. This car was built to look like, sound like and go like a Supercar and was used mainly for display purposes. It is road registered and has spent its life being driven around to store openings, promotional outings photo shoots etc. We now use it to give people rides on Charity and promotional days. The car has the stiffest and most expensive Kmac suspension money can buy. It is painted in the colour sceme of a V8 supercar. It has been lightened by removal of many creature comforts like air, radio, etc. It still has a full VN commodore interior. Last week it was put on the Computer at a Holden Dealership and found (as expected) to be perfect. It is not for the quiet, mild mannered or weak of heart. It is basically a road going race car with many 10's of thousands spent on the car. There is absolutely no chance of anyone taking it for a drive but I will start the car and drive it up and down our "long" driveway. My thoughts on the car is that It would make an ideal promotional vehicle or install a roll cage and take it racing. Or use it for drifting. Remember it has a genuine 5.0 litre with racing box and of course both are as new. Add the value of these near new items and the extraordinary suspension set up and you can see the asking price is spot on and thus not negotiable. car comes with 2 bolt on nosecones of various heights and two separate diffs for race and drift. If you are interested we are happy to lease the car back 2 days a year for $500 per day to use for our charity days in February and November. Car has genuine 77,000 kilometres since new and is a two owner car.

VN SS's are almost that cheap now and your sellin a race car for the same price... is the rego full rego or one where u have limited kms each year? Well if its cheap come and buy it....Im 46 and need to sell 8 of my cars as we are selling the house and the grounds look like a mess with 15 cars around the house. Also have HQ race car for $2k. It is not a VN SS it is an executive with no air/radio built to Supercar Replica standard. It is not a race car as it does not have a rollcage It is a NSW normal full registered street car. There is no such thing in NSW as limited k rego. NSW only has street rego or conditional rego. This is a full street registered car that can be driven anywhere.

Dominic Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 haha glad I'm not the only one that was more interested in the HQ good luck with the sale Dom Hi, Duncan. We should get the old HQ 3 speed 202 out on the wet Figure 8 at Eastern Creek. I actually bought it from a friend of yours in lalor park and then rebuilt it. Thanks to the guy from race and rally who added this to the history of the car "Hi Just some interesting info on this car, i worked for Lansvale smash when this car was used to go to shopping centres as a promo car, Lansvale bought the car as it was and just resprayed it in there colours, but im 90% sure that when they bought the car, it came from melboune and was Larry Perkins ex promo car and was painted up in the white/red/green castrol colours. Just thought id let you know, good price for what it is! Good luck with the sale."

Marlin Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi Dominic, I'm looking for something along these lines for weekend events. I've read and re-read your initial post. Are there any other modifications to mention? eg. does is have the crankcase venting sorted? Or is the body stich welded? I'm assuming the car's brakes are standard? Cheers, Ben.

Other than a mild cam and extractors the engine is standard. The body is not stitch welded. This is not a $30,000 race car.

Dominic Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Well my apologies for not knowing all the details! I was just trying to get a handle on, quote; "This car was built to look like, sound like and go like a Supercar" and, "many 10's of thousands spent on the car." My apologies if Ive offended. Im just a genuine old bloke that wants to sell a cheap car and is copping shit from people who just want to take it for a drive or get me to drift it for them. Its the weirdos that come looking at the car that annoy me. (Will take $4,550) They think that it should have air and full roll cage, and harnesses and Kevlar seats and carbon fibre everywhere for this much money. The car has Race gearbox and clutch Stock 5.0 litre (with mild cam) (77k) as new extractors into twin into 1 exhaust Full Kmac supercar suspension kit VS supercar body kit. Stock Vn interior Stock brakes Rego due 13 July or I will renew at your expense. It has NO air cond, radio, CD, DVD, Sunroof, Snap On seat covers, Stickers for HKS or even Greddy, No BOV, No Boost guage, No neons fitted underneath that dont light up Pink nor purple. No 28 inch sub speakers that play that Doof Doof music in tones that send your dogs insane. It has a very ordinary paint job. It is very cheap and I would never reccomend it to be driven on the road because: Its too low, attracts too much attention and most importantly "people will laugh at you"..
