Probably the cheapest one I've seen for a while. Let me know if you want someone local to ascertain what condition it's in. http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.dealer_vehicle?vehicle_id=3257734&curr ent_rec=2&total_rec=4&sort_type=1&make_id=81&model _id=557&state_id=-1&search_distance=25 (http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.dealer_vehicle?vehicle_id=3257734¤t_rec=2&total_rec=4&sort_type=1&make_id=81&model_id=557&state_id=-1&search_distance=25)

I think you're wrong Craig as the one on Ebay had different number plates and this one looks very low-makes me shudder to think what the bottom bib is like underneath.Also looks like a towbar was fitted,bit sus about no VIN number.Looks like one to me though,build number would be nice.

This is the one I think you're refering to...it's the same one that was on Ebay. http://www.australianmusclecarsales.com.au/muscle/80135 Obviously a few stolen and recoverds hitting the streets now eh?

So how long has the Walky on carsales for $24990 been advertised?A friend pointed out the rear headrest in one of the pics,were they a dealer option back in 1988?

Nope, they didn't come with them, and as far as I know, only 1 walky had rear headrests, and they were leather. I'd say it was fitted later. Mounts would prolly be there, so just get some calais ones, and pop them on. Good pickup though Quote: Originally Posted by oma72 So how long has the Walky on carsales for $24990 been advertised?A friend pointed out the rear headrest in one of the pics,were they a dealer option back in 1988?

Yes much lower kms... under 100,000, preferably 60-70ish... Quote: Originally Posted by oma72 Wish i could take the credit but i only noticed the cutout for the towbar and that its super-low.Has it got too many km's for you to be interested in it Craig?looks like its still in original condition.

I've never seen a Walkie advertised for sale under $20000,even when they were un-wanted back in late 1990's.But then again i was not looking too hard back then.You would have to be very quick these days to find a cheap one.I see that the VN Group A's are now not that far behind the Walkys.
