i have a 1988 A9Y CALAIS WAGON N/A 6cyl auto blue ---------- Post added 08-01-13 at 17:38 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by VLTWhite1 [View Post] I'm trying to compile a VL Calais Wagon Register (only the option "A9Y" coded cars from 1988 need apply), to figure out just how many of what engine types and colours there were out of the 200 built. I'm not looking at what's actually been done to the cars since new, just what they left the factory as. If you have a 1988 Calais Wagon (or know someone who does) I would like to get good readable photo's of your option plates (the one that lists Model, Body No., Trim, Paint etc.). Either that, or just copy down the numbers and post them here. Even if you hear of a wrecker thats trashed one it would be worth seeing if they kept records of them. Model - VL8VL35-A9Y Body No. - Trim - Paint - Built - Eng. - Trans. - Axle - A registration number would be handy if you're comfortable posting that here. If not, just the state the car is registered in would be great. I'll post up a running total as I get more feedback about them - ================================================== ================================================== === Number of cars up to Post #845 (30/12/12) - 103 confirmed of the 200 built. 1 Alpine White 40 Imperial Blue 62 Cardinal Red 18 Turbo (14 Red, 4 Blue) 31 V8 (18 Blue, 13 Red) 54 Non-Turbo (35 Red, 18 Blue, 1 White) Only four blue turbo's, and one VERY rare white n/a that wasn't supposed to have existed. All built between February - April 1988. Thanks. Craig I have a 1988 A9Y VL CALAIS WAGON 6CYL N/A BLUE

Are there any details of the super rare alpine white A9Y? was it special in any other way? I wonder if it makes the total 201?

It was sold in Adelaide in August 2009 by a car yard. I went and had a look at it at the time. It was getting a little ratty, but normal for a car that had just been driven. It does bring that total into question, and makes you wonder if there one or two more special colour orders. ---------- Post added 09-01-13 at 21:36 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by VLCW888 [View Post] I have a 1988 A9Y VL CALAIS WAGON 6CYL N/A BLUE Any chance you can post up your details ? The list has been running for a while now so if you can post up the numbers I might be able to give you a bit more history on it if we've seen it before. ---------- Post added 09-01-13 at 21:37 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by jetsonrac [View Post] http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/vl-caais-...1#ht_500wt_689 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/vl-caais-v8-wagon-/230908297443?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&fits=Plat_Gen%3AVL%7CModel%3ACommodore&hash=item35c33500e3&_uhb=1#ht_500wt_689) Thanks for that. It's the second time it's been on Ebay but they didn't post the numbers up first time around.

its funny that.the blue 5.o sais feb 88. but the number plates are for an early 87 model

My girlfriend is keen for an original A9Y, have time and money to find the right one? Anybody keen please pm me.

There is an original 160,000 A9Y Calais wagon on gumtree Perth at the moment, with pics, thought you guys may want to know. Kid wants 20,000, it's had a respray etc...

that walky kitted POS a9y has sold. who bought it?

POS??..no, she just needs a little love Sadly I didn't buy it, would be cool to own a Walky kitted A9Y. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

it looked to be missing a ot of factory parts that would be hard to track down. and it presented very poorly in the pictures. I'm glad someone purchased it but t that price they will still throw bucketloads more into it to gt it upto scratch.
