We picked up this SL on the weekend, for $3200. The top pics are when it had the 15" VN SS wheels and now it has the 18" Inch BBS wheels, that were on my dad's Calais. Not bad considering we've had it for 5 days. As of yesterday.. Oh and this is my brother's, before I forget. It just needs some tidying up in a few places and it'll be sweet.

It has SL tailights and the Commodore SL badge, just above the head unit. Maybe it's had either Air Con or P/S installed some time ago.
