Can't say no to a quad cam v8. Is that the 4L one that comes in the Soarers? Go on Alex, build another VL Wouldn't that be ALOT of work to do to a Caldina? And not exactly a Caldina anymore? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

And not exactly a Caldina anymore? Nah if I wanted a VL I would have kept mine. Those days are gone for me, time to try something different Caldina was FWD so was converted to RWD using a Skyline 25T rear end. Heaps of work and it kept blowing 5sp Supra gearboxes. The guy was going to put an auto in it Quote: Originally Posted by gasguzler yea those r the motors is it just me or are vls getting dirt cheap http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-158754534.htm (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Holden/auction-158754534.htm) http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-157833351.htm (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Holden/auction-157833351.htm) **** thats tidy VLs have been cheap for a long time. I bought my Calais 10 years ago for $4,300... mint original 2 owner with 115,000kms on the clock. They started going up in value a few years ago and are now only coming back to where they should be Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
