hahah yes that one!

it was pretty rough round the edges!

we were all surprised it went for that much!

the charger that was auctioned same time - now that was a beauty!

[sav man]

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

They were a nice rare model aswell

(i was talking the Nissan hehe)

haha i was talking the Holden taxi with a picnic table on the boot

Just like it got in the states its happening here, the intrinsic value of the vehicle has been overtaken by the mad money "collectors" pay and by collectors I mean people that by them as an investment and not for the pleasure of ownership. Sure if it was a race car with pedigree it might be there because its of historic significance but 120K for a taxi...I wont be bidding.

I wonder if sitting around and not being used would have any affect on all the rubber brake and suspension bits and the diff and gearbox bearings/gears etc?

I would hope the engine was run once a month and got to operating temp.

I still have doubts of the GTHO phase 3 reaching 700k at the sydney motor auction....

You better believe it there reaching near the million dollar mark now.

Bet it still has only 3 of 4 tail lights tho at best! That's bloody rediculous... If some bogan is willing to pay over 5 grand for a VL he deserves for the value to go down. GTS-R (NISSAN) will slowly go up. As much as a 32 GTR now a days... Give it 10 or 15 and they should be fetching over 35ish. Starts to climb pretty quick once they gain more and more Jap nostalgia. AE86 Sprinters in stock form r collecting as much as 12-13k aswell. Just gotta put ur GTSR in a bubble and have it detailed.

That's because of Initial D.

from the company I work with we see all the trends and with this car - there hasnt been much interest.

the wild violet with white interior and the 2 black ones from moffet which have history no doubt could get to that - but this one here, we have our doubts - however with auctions its anyones guess what the results will be !

A friend of mine was given a white HG monaro 350 by his girlfriends mother on the night he announced to the family that they were to marry. His fiance's mother later that night took him out to the back shed and said "there is something id like you to have" opened the shed and revealed the car to him from under its covers. The car had 3500 miles on the clock and was only ever registered once. Her husband had bought the car from the local holden dealer and soon after had passed away, his wife could not bear anyone driving the car her husband loved so much and used to pay the local dealer to come and service the vehicle in-situ. The catch for the deal of a lifetime was that the car was never to be sold. A couple of days later he appeared in it out the front of a local pub and emptied the place. It is incredible to see in the flesh as it looks smells and sounds like it was built only days earlier.

it will go much higher, my mate just sold his 81 HDT Brock commodore for 45k!

bought it 6 yrs ago for 12k...

talk about return on investment!

I HAVE to say it. Bloody rich bogans! This is the real problem with the economical boom! I really dont know if these high prices will last, not that I have anything to back that up, just a feeling.

And Im really not sure about GTRs etc being worth much in 10-15 years. I would think MAYBE the aussie delivered ones in good stock condition might be worth something. But they really dont have the same historical value over here, that and as they are quite cheap now, 18yos etc can have them, so it kind of takes that specialness away from them. Because thats the only reason these cars are 'worth' so much. Just people being so sentimental about them.

All that said, stuff property! Old falcons is where its at!

that was an awesome story by the way, hope the car didnt turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight and the inlaw wasnt the fairy God mother... :(
