Yeah Graeme knows a bloke who bought a tidy VC, (Firethorn Red, Carmine Interior and 4 Speed Manual) before Brock died and got it cheap as compared to what they are fetching now.

Yeah mate. I made a display board for it with the as new price of $AUS 19,800 and he said jeez I only paid $18k including shipping to NZ! It's insured for $60k now though. That Group III is a nice car, the previous owner sold it to finance a V2 Monaro CV8! I'd have the Brock over the Monaro any day of the week...

Must be worth a bit I'd say. P/plate is Mouse I think.

Saw a MINT red VL GTS today, all original, was spotless.........except for the young guy with the seat laid back & full of his mates, won't be long until it goes to the big parking lot in the sky by the looks of things. Very Sad.
