SOLD This is an incredibly regretful sale, but it’s time to start thinking about a house for the missus and I. I originally bought the car from Bax in Qld, and it has been my pride and joy for the last 4 years. If possible, I’d rather sell this to someone on here that will look after it and even get it running some numbers. 1987 VLT SL Manual Calais Conversion Body Complete Calais conversion minus the interior roof light VT window seal Removed passenger door lock Engine bay smoothed with battery relocated to boot Antenna removed and smoothed.

It runs mint as is, but seems to have some breathing issues so is on a pretty safe tune for now. The work and tune was done by Justin at BYE Performance, and is currently running 8psi with 213rwhp. Apart from that the only real issues are it’s missing a few minor cosmetic things like the front grille (which I will replace) and has some slight paint damage under the front wheel arches. I have all receipts including the previous owners, Rego til Feb. Looking for around $13,500 Contact Details: Call or text: [phone removed] Or private msg on here. Cheers Mike.
