Just a sound shell, preferably with fixed glass unbroken - that’s all I really need. Have driveline, tub and front clip.
White car you linked looks a good prospect for someone wanting a manual AU. |

Imagine you've got a 1.5-million-dollars to spend on a car, what would you buy? Why buy something exotic when you can have a Holden Commodore with 205,000km on the clock in baby-sh.t yellow....................1.5 million worth of Ecotec goodness.

No dings down the side of it, he mustn’t have thrown boxing bag Bev against it.
But that is worse than the crack heads placing exorbitant prices on HSV XU6 and CV6 Monaro… ‘very rare car’. Yes, they were rare for a reason, no **** wanted them when they were new and the same goes for today. |

https://www.themusclecarshop.net.au/2008-fpv-fg-gt-315 I'm really torn between the two... A stonkin' N/a V6 monster for 1.5 trillion K or a real Aussie collectable.. Decisions decisions. What should I do? I wonder if they have seen the movie 'The Castle'? That tag line certainly fits this scenario. Cheers, One Man

When you finally hit that 4000-7000 RPM where it boogies, you're well above dangerous driving charge speeds. Its still shitful with the ZF as well, especially in comparison to the XR6T/F6 where it comes on boost virtually instantly and you get this fat surge of torque down low. She's no LS, GM has had it over Ford with V8s right up until Miami appeared, not to mention Ford deciding to discontinue V8s from 1982-1992 or something, then reintroducing with the boat anchor 302 Wheezer in the E series - thats why there was a zillion more Holden/HSV fans than Ford ones, and Holden (and the Commodore) was seen as 'Australias car' even though it used imported everything. If you think about it, was the I6 that good (E Series/AU Tickford edition and then Barra) or was the V8s on offer just absolute boat anchors? Last edited by Franco Cozzo; Yesterday at 11:20 AM. |

Compared to say a BMW M30B35 which goes back to the 1970s, has similar torque and drivability to the ohc 4.0, more power, much better sound and pulls pretty hard. Or Mercedes M104 3.2, down on torque but has about 170kw, revs out to 7000rpm and awesome doing it. |

The Intech 6's will outlast religion, and the Barras not far behind. Apart from the criminal undermining from Ford, ultimately it failed by becoming a dinosaur. An ageing warhorse, in a market that increasingly wanted cheap flashy disposable crap.
