That would've been the guy that wrote into Street Commodores from S.A I think saying that he purchased the car brand new, had it towed to his parent's house, had it placed on stand's and has remained there to this day. I think he also invited them to verify that his story was true.

MMM, all these conspiracies sound nice Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good to know that one day we'd be able to still buy a fresh Walkinshaw from somewhere

wont be so fresh dude the suspension would be up the creeck on it

I know a guy who has a phase 3 buried in a container in the blue mountains!!!!! now thats extreme.

Now that's a bit extreme!

Quote: wont be so fresh dude the suspension would be up the creeck on it If the car's barely seen a road in it's life, it shouldn't be too bad.

blue mountains is quite the stash point.

Why, you know of more like this?

I know of a genuine Phase 3 living in Western Sydney. Very wealthy owner, it's looked away in a garage with about 10-15,000 miles on it. Still has the original ink check stamps visible on the rocker covers. He has many other rare cars too.

A car like that in top nick would be worth a bit.

Quote: wont be so fresh dude the suspension would be up the creeck on it if you were to put a walky or the likes up on stands since new, then decided to sell it or drive it or whatever, what damage/deterioration would you expect? Like what would you have to replace that gets stuffed up over time just sitting there?? For example, i had a calais turbo which spent alot of time sitting around and i had to change the centre bearing where the tailshaft sits as the mass over time warped it in that single direction, downwards! Had a shocking shudder under acceleration! I also think it had some effect on the diff side as well...

AUS880, i know your' a collector of nice clean vlt's. A year or so ago there was a genuine vl calais turbo down my way which was like a garaged car one owner, had less than 40,000km's k's genuine and a rare manual model, i think it was ice blue. I wanted it soo bad, it was asking for $17.5k back then and had trouble selling it, saw it advertised again for $14.5k six months later! If only i had the money! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Brendon: I may have actually seen the car .. I was in Traralgon when I saw a MINT ice blue calais turbo that was being driven by an old lady! It looked totally original

Sin, yeah i would say that's the one, and that's one nice car to buy! For sunday drives anyway.
