4 years on and the lady has called me about the car. Its been in storage for 2-3 years and she just happened to stumble across my details. She's asking a fair bit for it and I don't think im prepared to part with that sort of money. She tells me it was built specifically for her by Peter and was delivered as a subdue model and badged as a Sandown. It does have a HDT build plate. From Fast Lane.

What's she asking? Being white and the paint looks in good condition a good cut and polish will bring it up mint. Get a proper detailer to go right over it, cut and polish inside steam clean etc engine bay etc and it would be easy to make some coin on as long as she's not asking top dollar for it.

Pay what you think it is worth to you,If it is not enough(for her) you might have to flag it.Nice to own some thing with a bit of history,Does she have the original papers on which they custom ordered for them selfs??Another thing try being honest to her saying that you are wanting to keep it,Not trying to make a dollar out of it.Returning it to original condition will mean it will aways be worth something,not huge bucks but something..Good luck and I hope you get it!!(nice find)What does the build plate say??If it does not have HDT on it then all it will ever be is a VL with HDT bits on it(dealer fitted) Cheers Marty ps if the build number is after 4246 then it will be post Brock

That red converted turbo is around the corner from my house if anyone wants me to inspect it for them

I would low ball for sure. It might be a rare HDT model but it isn't a very desirable one, and it's not in good condition. There's no profit to be made by fixing it up and selling, but if you plan on holding onto it for your own enjoyment and just cruising, I'd go 8K absolute max. That's assuming it actually runs and you can get it to a good standard without pouring to much coin into it.

And this is the worst advice ever.

I think people are more interested in matching numbers when it comes to 180kw 5.0 motors from HDT not nissan RB30's that are the same as the ones in your ebay excecutive as Brock owners don't like it when the V8 has been swapped for a 120kw LV2 and the original block has gone walkabout.

She wants $15k for the car. Seems too high to me. Rarity yes. If it was turbo id probably be far keener. Last time I saw it car was in quite good condition. Anyone interested pm me I want a finder's fee! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Theres a mint red turbo Sandown on GumTree at the moment for $19.5k....

Few years on. Its up for sale at just $45k :P https://www.facebook.com/pg/Car-Loca...68101583257396 (https://www.facebook.com/pg/Car-Locators-110429415691296/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1768101583257396)

Wonder how much it will actually sell for

Lmfao. Yeerrrr right Idgaf if it's a HDT, nobody is paying that for a na 6. It seems to be a thing now, ask the most ridiculous price and hope to get something close. Lol I'm surprised the ad didn't end with "I know what it's worth" Loool

not as bad as the flog selling white auto bt1 tags for $4k on bookface... all these ****s make me want to set fire to my vl and start a stamp collection
