Well spotted. It does look fairly legit doesn't it. Maybe it's the turbo part thats "replica".

I am almost certain that i saw that car for sale on brisbane gumtree or boostcruising a few months ago for 3k. I swear it was taken at that angle and in the same front yard. when i contacted the chick selling it she said she just sold it for $2000 and that it had had gone to a "collector". strange.

what about this one? I didn't think Calais wagons were made till 88? except for a few made by HDT? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydne...rbo/1009119721 (http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydney-region/cars-vans-utes/1987-holden-calais-wagon-factory-turbo/1009119721)

More than likely a HDT one. All A9Y's have grey interiors and were only built in 1988.

I would check the link but apparently I have been "removed from the discussion" for posting a positive comment and bumping your thread, as was the guy who posted before me. I would wish you good luck with the sale but that expression has been removed from my discussion with you.
