Wow!!

wouldnt have thought 6 figures.....

I know there was one at an auction few months back - had around 50k on the clock and was around 50k - I think it actually got passed in!

I still dont belive these cars will get much more value as opposed to the 70's muscle cars.

it will go big, mainly because of Peter's recent death. apart from the cool history aspect it's a pretty average car though >_<

give me the plastic pig group A walkinshaw any day thanks. :(

i spoke to a guy who paid $150,000 for a walky with only 1200kms on the clock.

these aussie muscle cars values are getting a bit out of hand now.....

dont even have to be muscle these days

even a stock 250 xw 3 on the tree in average condition is pulling over 5 k these days

pity it can NOT be a genuine original as delivered by GMH as stated or it would NOT have the infamous polariser on it

Brock added them after they left GMH

you should re-read the section "PRESENTS AS IT DID ON DELIVERY IN 1987 FROM HDT. "

I'm gonna win lotto, buy it and enter it in the burnout comp at summernats just to piss off the purists. :P

Seriously, it shits me to see ads like that. Bloody thing was built to be driven, not make some anal retentive halfwit rich :(

Pity GTS-R's arent worth that lol

There accouple in unique cars between $100,000 and $110,000. FUnny thing is 6 months ago they weren't werth 1/2 that. Dad has Gts-R #68 and almost sold it for $45,000, and he thought he was doing well. He's glad the sale fell through now.

there was a fella in gympie that had an origianl monaro that he sold for 6 figures. he sent it down to auction in brissy or sydney with a reserve of something stupid like 75k just for shits and giggles and it ended up going for well over 100k. he had owned it from new and still had the original receipt from holden for it.

but that is because they can turn them into replicas of the phase 2. but if you go and buy a dirty old torana you won't get that much for it unless it is 1 of the classic ones.

mad - was that the yellow one sold at the sydney motor show auction last year?

sounds like it!

the next most common thing is for people making/building/buying replicas

replica XU1's, SS hatches, GT's etc etc etc people are starting to buy them which of course, people who already own them think that there cars should be worth more..

Are you talking the VR/VS GTS-R from holden or the Nissan HR GTS-R?

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
