Nice but not my flavour at all. i vote NO!! I've been in a few original walkys now. Driven a stocker, went for a spin in the ex FEAR walky, now WALKEY (i think) and have also been in one of the Limo's, and i must say the stock one was my fav for an original Walkinshaw.

Wow...for that type of money you could own a real performance vehicle...like an M6 (dreams!). Why you'd basically destroy one of the best and last examples of a Aussie Muscle Car is way beyond me?

not all that great for 280k..... for that much, it should atleast be blown =D.... dont like the airbrushing, as a couple people have said, and for 280k, even if it was speant over time, he coulda made some better choices in what he did with it...... but its still pretty farkin tuff id own it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Im sure some of the total spend would've been on originally purchasing the car in the first place, so I don't see it being a faker. $1500 for a shabby rolling VL SL, or $30000 for a genuine Walkinshaw to kick off the project...

I agree that MR355 is an awesome Walky but to me a Walky must retain the original interior/running gear and no air brushing.I'm all for changing wheels/suspension and things that wouldn't be hard to revert back to it's factory release.If you wanna do that to a car just get a VL shell,not ruin an Australian muscle car.
