Description Well I think I can say this is definately my last VL.
With my current job, my business, and a young family with 2 kids, I just dont have the time I used to have available to make something out of my projects.
I jumped at this car some 6 months or so ago when it came up because it was a good deal and now someone else will have the opportunity to do as they please with it. Selling exactly as I bought it.
Specs:
SII Calais with all numbers
All Calais sides and moulds included (will not be sold seperately)
Tubbed with notched rails to fit 29x12 tyre
Brand new 9" diff
4 link suspension with reinforced mounts
4.11 gears
31 spline Moser axles
Strange double adjustable coilover shocks
Wilwood 6 piston calipers and 330mm discs up front
Pedders front coilovers with K-Mac adjustable strut tops
Stainless brake lines from front to back with braided lines to calipers
Wilwood rear calipers and new disc brakes
Wilwood remote pedal box and brake pedal (no need for a booster)
Sheetmetal boot
Filled in petrol filler cap
Detailed undercarriage
Aftermarket sunroof with all controls
No interior apart from 2 Evo XII Recaro seats and Calais dash
Needs paint. Panels are straight
VH45 is NOT mounted or included but can be added for extra
Engine bay untouched apart from removal of battery tray and brake boosted hole sealed.
Receipts for more than $25k
Similar setup to the ex HVATOS. Can be used for a pro-street style setup or a race car, just add a cage and away you go.
Will negotiate price if removal of things like front brakes and calipers or seats are not your style. I do have a plastic seat to throw in aswell. Example - offers under $10k considered for it without front brakes/suspension (replaced with standard parts) and front seats.
Anyway, I am sure I am missing something, but enough of the talking. They say pictures tell 1000 words, so here are a few.
Cheers,
Ariel

No one interested in saving themselves some $10-15k in building a quality VL?

No worries Steve.
Sell the VX a little cheaper and I will take that off the purchase price of this. If that's not enough, I can take things off like brakes, seats, front suspensions to help reduce the price which are not really necessary for everyone but a nice thing to have on a car like this.
Cheers,
Ariel

I must say there has been a lot of work done on it and it is all very good quality. I didn't get a good pic of the undercarriage, but it is has been cleaned up quite well.
Let's see if there are any buyers over the next week or so, otherwise the engine and gearbox are being mounted.

Mate i rang you and made a reasonable offer.. and you were OH SO nah man i dont need the money blah blah blah.

27-09-10, 06:11 GMT+10#16 Something for the business has come up that I wasn't necessarily expecting, hence now the change of mind.
Make me an offer for the whole thing and you can seperate it if you like. There is a lot more than 4k in the brakes and seats so you could make some money from it. Otherwise, I'll take 10k without the seats alone.

28-09-10, 07:25 GMT+10#17 bump....only willing to seperate front brakes and seats to bring the price down, thats the most I will take off
---------- Post added 28-09-10 at 21:45 ----------
BT - $8k without seats and brakes is not getting me excited....for a car with $25k in it, i am happy to wait until a more serious offer is made....its not like a VL like this comes up often and not something I will just let go for the sake of not having it. If standard brakes are provided i might sell, otherwise, it goes complete.
with that, any one serious about the brake setup (discs and calipers only)? pm me. I will not take anything under $2k.

01-10-10, 16:17 GMT+10#18 I am considering stripping the car. This is only conditional to the shell being sold because I will not sell anything until the shell is gone.
Offers of around $5k will be the start for the shell. With Wilwood brake pedal setup, removed brake booster, sunroof, tubs, detail undercarriage, stainless steel brake lines, sheetmetal boot, filled in petrol filler cap and all calais moulds.
So that means, diff setup, front and rear coilovers, brakes and seats can be seperated.
Cheers,
Ariel
