So i was right it was 4229, as i said mate have a crack, its a build number car never the less!!

Sell the six off and drop in a worked carby 5.0 HDT motor and its value would triple.

^ probably be worth less as its not original.

Well thanks for your help guys. Im waiting on her to call. Shes not certain when but she thinks she will sell up sometime soon. I will make a decision if the time comes on how much im prepared to spend on this car. Now i know its more than likely something more than a cheap wing and a sticker. I only said it would be worth 2gs easy not I didnt say thats how much i would pay..

In its condition and only being a 'base' model I wouldnt go over the top with an offer either. Its not worth huge dollars. Would be a nice little find though if you intended on restoring it.

A HDT is worth more with a carby 304 than a RB30, you would be able to sell the low kay driveline off and have a five litre five speed with bilsteins, polarizer and build plaque not to mention a Brock that sounds like one.

Its a rare collectable car and modified, it wont be worth jack.

It would be absolutelty worthless unoriginal.......

A HDT is only worth more with a carby 304 if it came from the factory with the carby 304. If the the engine numbers dont match then the tags are worthless and its just another vl. It needs to stay original for it to be worth anything

It needs to stay original for it to be worth anything spot on mate! it wouldn't be worth a bowl of **** with a different engine. people would see it as just another v8 that's been hammered. if its a 6 with matching tags it would be completely original and worth ALOT more to collectors and enthusiasts.

As a n/a its in the same class as a 7G Nitron. Group A 5.0 replicas are pulling 22G If you supplied reciepts for an HDT worked over black 304 with roller rockers,cam,HDT chrome, zorst you would get more than your money back.

i see the point of a 5speed 304 BUT.... the car is worth more standard than modded and any mods need to be done with the thought of returning the car to stock in mind. if you want a 304 brock but cant buy a real one you would be better to buy a burgundy / grey interiored sl v8 / auto and stick an ebay hdt build plate on it. less people would call you a knob and someone who appreciates the sandown for its rarity will own it rather than someone who wants to put a different engine in it and sell the matching numbers block.... now selling a matching numbers block is just unthinkable. especially if its a fine block.

OK, this is my opinion and the figures i use here are example purpose only!!! 1. If you get this car to tip top condition and leave it totally orig. you would get 10-15k 2. If you get this car to tip top condition and put a tuff 304 in it. you would get 10-15k maybe a touch more Now lets go behind the scenes abit option 1 would cost you 3-6k option 2 would cost you 5-8k Basically if your planning on getting good money back without spending as much stick to option 1. If your planning on enjoying it and you like the sound grunt of an 8 go with option 2. What ever you chose to do (if you get it) Theres always gonna be an extra tag/id plate on your firewall so you can go to sleep happy!

You cant compare this car or any HDT to a nitron, a nitron has NO HDT ID PLATE, fair enough its a limited build of 150 but its NOT a BROCK COMMODORE

Those wheels look like the 16" ones you see on the VK's every now n then on the brockies, pretty rare those wheels in good nick, worth a fair bit

They are the 15's on the Nitron. That Nitron on ebay is worth bugger all, no polarizer and wrong horn pad etc... Anything happen with the Sandown???
