Sam Beatty from Wonthaggi, apparently bought it a few weeks ago off Gumtree, for $4-5K according to comments, he's just looking to see how much he can get for it. Pic on his page as of 21st Jan saying it's his new rig. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Had it listed from when it was on Gumtree but great to keep tabs on what's become of them like that. ---------- Post added 03-02-14 at 09:46 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by 88wagon [View Post] Possibly another? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/point...ro-/1037776647 (http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/point-cook/cars-vans-utes/vl-calais-wagon-v8-swap-for-cv8-monaro-/1037776647) Plates are new to me, but it may have been listed as something else before he did all the work on it. I'll keep digging. Ta.

Bugger about that blue one. If it was closer to SA I would look into it... Any info on the red one up for grabs in SA? I dont have FB, so cant see.

That's a real shame. I was a week too late on getting that wagon.

Not sure if it's accounted for but there's one near my work, if it's genuine. All I can pass on is the rego, MI88VL (NSW). It's maroon, has been sitting around the meachanics where I work (RAAF base in Newcastle) and from what I could see it appears to have had an engine swap for what looks like another RB series motor. If i can find out any more info I'll post it here if the owner is happy to let me.

The Blue wagon on Club VL is now being parted out. He's calling for expressions of interest in the parts anyway.

Wont respond to anyone. He's had a couple of offers for the whole car as well. I was the first one to ask about the steering wheel from it. But no response. But it would be good to see the whole car go to someone that can fix it up. Instead of it getting parted out

Not sure if it's still his.

Just looked up his account, didn't realise he was on here. Username matches the plates, location and occupation add up, it would have to him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Much better than the old 10 grand asking price Have asked for pics of tags to add to the register
