Serious?
I'm not interested but he shouldn't have any problems selling it, There are less than 300 left and appriciating in value every year. Very good investment (even for a Ford man)

308 HG premier slammed on some fat rubber.

It wouldn't be too hard to have less than 300 today, they only built 302 in this first place.

A9X, XU1, old Monaro (Don't know the letter code :nutsycuck ) or maybe a late model Senator.

l had a 72 Bathurst XU-1 and an A9X as my daily drivers when l was younger and these cars were not so valued as they are today. Brilliant both of them.

l loved the LJ GTR XU-1 Bathurst so much that l have recently decided to buy one so if you know of a good original car for sale please PM me.

Cheers Simon

I like the old HJ LS 2 door the one with the HJ premier front and the HQ rear end or the HT Braham in Bronze with the cream interior or in the new stuff the HSV GTS Coupe 4
The best score for an old Holden was from my mate who is a courier and seen an old holden Torana hatch back in someones yard and swapped a Jetski for it
He found out it was an original A9X with the tent that goes in the hatch area for sleeping all it needed was 8 plugs, a battery, new tyres and a reco of the carby to get it going

Hmmmmmm

HDT VL Group A SS (the 'Permanent Red' one)
VP SS or Clubsport
HDT VL Director (Go the Polarizer!)
LJ Torana XU-1
A9X

I'd have to say the VL's would be my favourite, seeing Brocky at bathurst in 1987 gunning his VL Group A out of the pits getting it sideways still gets me goin :sm_drool:

Fair enough I do know he is entitled to his opinion, but what relevance does that pic have with this thread apart from stirring ИИИИ? Not to mention that it is making fun of a situation where some unfortunate person probably lost their life...

Funny how you have to have a cry about this, when you didn't even respond to the topic.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! :

VL Calais turbo, just rip out the horrid interior and your set.
