Engine and Trans dead stock KAAZ LSD 3.73 Pacemakers, D&T stainless 3 inch Pedders suspension (comfort gas shocks?was done before i got it)/panhard/new nolathane bushes kit mint condition original tan leather interior, all the interior is pretty much as good as it gets for a 23 yr old car good sound system, kicker subs, large kicker amp, alpine R's, soundstreams, pioneer deck Everything except the suspension was done in the last 9 months since i got the car Doesn't appear to be many original stock calais 5.0's for sale so i have nfi on price, on carsales it's just pages of turbo turbo turbo stinker turbo turbo Just looking for a general ballpark, especially from anyone that may have sold theirs in the last year or so couple pics from last year Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

This was on car sales for nearly 12 months. Original owner started at 12k then gradually dropped. 6.5 - 7k it should sell. If your chasing more than that be patient as the right buyer will come along.

not many V8 VL's now because they weren't popular at the time when new the 6 cyl and turbo 6 were much better engines so sold in higher numbers that doesn't make a V8 VL rare though

If your chasing more than that be patient as the right buyer will come along. For that i might as well take the KAAZ with 3.73's which is still almost brand new out and put an old 3.08 open wheeler back in Still, i think i'll sell it because if i have to store it for 12-24 months its gonna cost me heaps to get it running again anway Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
