Nah it really is $75000 i reckon, he is trying to change he price and attract a different type of buyer, instead of a new S/C 6cyl euro car, pick his car up for a steal

Forget about $75000 or even $7500, I think he meant to put $750.00

I want it. That Group A bonnet must be worth what, 70K at least?

And those rims, WOW.

BTW I'm selling my AU2 for a paltry 1.1 million. Any one interested?

Its a 5 speed with the supercharged engine .......its unique.

Supercharged V6's came out in VT days and never in a manual...

Supercharger didn't do much except make noise and was a PULP only to boot !

I am not a GM fan but some of the Buick combos in the states haul ***.
The thing I do like about these motors is the torque curve, full torque comes on quickly.
The turbo versions with not much work can be made to run really quick. Full weight cars with mild turbo combinations are easily running into the 12's
A friend had a V6 in an Eh and that thing went really well, but he also spent some $$ on it
