LOL.....

Magnum cars were actually 308 GTS's ( 4 in total during the 8 years of the show but don't get me started on that).

The 308's went from 1976-1985 and then the 328's went from 1985-1989. Series 2 or as they are know MY88.5 are the ones to get.

Crappy rusty UK imports are around $70K, Good Aussie delivered cars are around $100K with top shelf cars pulling another $20K.

Mine owes me $120K. Courtesy of a 1980 VC HDT Brock Commodore that I sold in the Muscle Car boom!

Cheers,

Bob.

Here are a couple of pics of it..........

Yes bob but doesn't look anywhere near as authentic.

no front spoiler, rear tailgate is not black, changed gearknob, non original wheels

Seller probably wants $50K...... Was worth $3K 10 years ago.

Affirmative

The collector who is 50+ (sort of like me) remembers these cars dominate the ATCC in their heyday and respect their achievements. They are not interested in buying A $20K JDM that has very little history the same way a 25 year old is not interested in paying $60K plus for an ADM in years to come. Two totally different markets.

At the end of the day, it's your car and you can do with it as you like but if your primary objective is to maximise the value of your car then keep it as original as you can.

That's the exact reason I own this bucket ...

And I hear what you are saying ...but regarding the originality side of things will people really ever care that much about Aus delivered R32s? They were no different in performance to Japanese ones, minimal spec difference with regards to a few brake lights and gearbox coolers etc.

Most other cars that are collectible are because they were limited in build and different to other models. You mention HO, but same goes for VN Grp A, RS500s etc.

The R32 will suffer a little like the E30 M3 as the homologation car was a mass produced car. IMO, but no doubt will always be worth more then JDM R32s due to their genuine Austrlian history

Cant go too far wrong with a Cossie Bris, if I hadnt picked up my GTR I would have been all over a cossie.

Quality posts Bob, youve a lot of experience in the collector market and I thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words.

Roy, that is an awesome bucket u have there, looks fantastic and beautiful colour!

Regarding your question on the value of an adm gtr, Bob is definitely far more educated than most of us here but I will divulge what I believe and have read. ppl are already paying more for a good example up to 60k hence there is value as they more so limited in no's most other collector cars (100 produced but only 67 accounted for) + there 128 listed changes and yes most are cosmetic BUT its also the fact that it has those aust compliance plates and it dominated the ATCC series before it was banned by the aust public.

Is it an aussie muscle car or an aussie muscler eater

Check this out, not many changes at all with the phase 3 when compared to the standard gt (more focused on engine mods). The compliance plates is where the money is at:

Look at a Torana A9X vs. a Torana SLR 5000, the difference is very little but 3 times the price.

The ADM GTR's were the only Skyline GTR's to ever be exported to another country by Nissan, this is one of the biggest attractions for me, this with the fact that the ADM cars are the rarest R32 GTR ever made.

this now changed though as the r35gtr have also exported their car.

hang on - i just noticed that you were referring to the "skyline GTRs" which is the r32, r33 & r34 series - hence i stand corrected

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Don't think you've added it.

RE modifying - Bob, totally agree a stocker will be of higher value and desirability to a collector, but as an owner who is unlikely to sell the car, I'm pretty comfortable 'modifying' to suit my tastes. Further, great comments and insight into the car collecting scene. If I ever have money one day, that'd be a perfectly happy hobby for me

Thinking of putting some Fast&Furious decals down the side of it. Thoughts?
