Don't think he sold it on mate, Im almost certain it's still the block that's in his sl that just went 9's last week at Willowbank
You'd have to be pretty keen to pay cash to get the orig block back for it... but who knows with Andy, im sure if the price is right, anything is possible.

29-10-09, 19:45 GMT+10#34 it's factory turbo and manual. the pics do look nice back in he day with the white simmons and the 16" aero's.
It's one of my favorite colours that vl's came out with, which is mostly why i bought it.
I havent done anything to it other that full buff it before i stored it. just been collecting engine and trim parts for it.
I bought it 4 or so years ago from a bloke from adelaide hills who bought it off vlt87. it was missing race seats, wheels and steering wheel by the time i got it tho.
So if anyone has a mint berlina interior in grey and 16" aero wheels let me know
