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?

They were a nice rare model aswell

(i was talking the Nissan hehe)

    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
