What do you guys think about the VR Senator 215 or GTS 215? They are pretty cheap at the moment. Factory 355 stroker & T56 for $15k is pretty good value
I'm thinking about buying one as I can't see the price falling much more
Thankyou!
Although are they joking about a current GT being worth big dollars in ten years...or did I hear that wrong?
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
Didn't realize there were so many early model commodore lovers on the forums.
I lover basically anything pre 1980, I just bought a VL Calais converted to a 5spd. And have a VH sitting in the shed waiting for the Grp3 kit to go on it and have the respray it has been wanting for a long time.
Back on topic, I love the VL Walky's, and realize they are worth big bucks. But I never like to believe ANYTHING I hear on shows like 'Today Tonight', seeing an advert like 'The Chasers War on Everything exposed', because they setup pranks...like WTF, the are comedians, thats their job.
Anyway, anyone with a Walky is one lucky *******.

I used to own a white 1994 HSV GTS manual. was a one owner with 68000 from memory... had level ride suspension and was a nice drive. spare was never used (that nice SV5000 yellow one....hmmm) but i did have dramas with it. mine was in great condition to look at but i did spend alot of money fixing problems. mine may have been a lemon though. i still like the 215's

oh and the 355 is actually 346. just thought id let u know
It's looking good for the LS7 in a HSV's 20th anniversary GTS. Now that'd be some machine wouldn't it.
Although the suggested 125K is some what out of my reach, at least with a limited build you could expect to obtain some of you outlay in the future.
If just for the motor though, how can HSV justify in increase of what at least 50K for the inclusion of the LS7 and stronger gearbox?

nope...215i and 220i = 346ci
its the same cubes as an LS1. 355 is 5.8, the stroker HSV used was 346ci also. 350ci is just a rounded off figure.
yea, but buying a walky for an investment is stupid i recon, i wouldnt buy a car for the sole reason of it being worth alot 10 years down the track, i buy a car to drive and enjoy.
If you want to make money, invest in shares, property and paintings.

Yes but if you are out to buy a weekend fun car you can either buy a brand new SS for $50k or a Walky for $50k. What will each of them be worth 3-4 years down the road?
