http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....754 9980&rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=102242&item=4557549980&rd=1) Is this the genuine #406? Seems to be some confusion over whether it is the real deal, i see on walkinshaw.net the owners and the former rego details are different to what is listed in the ad. Details seem sketchy at best....

It may have been a walky but it is now a vl shell with some walky bits on it. unless you can get new tags its not worth much let alone 8000 reserve.

Quote: This is a 1988 commodore VL SS GROUP A WALKINSHAW we have just learned that the build no is 406 and it was originally a sydney car with the plate batmob and was painted black by owner 3 to 4 years ago we were also told from another ebay member that the car was stolen and recovered in a drug bust in WA it has no tags but does have a police number on the tower and the car can be re-registered it is a rolling body shell with HSV walkinshaw body kit and 16 " walky rims with good tyres are incuded in stead of these ugly alloy wheels the kit is complete less the front bar but the bonnet scoop is in the car it has no interior and will be sold less motor and no gear box and no diff but it will be rolling with a standard 6 cylinder disc brake diff and the 90 litre tank is not included in the sale the dash and instruments are in the car as are all the power windows and central locking are all intact it will come with keys and alarm remotes the 4 genuine 16" walkinshaw mags painted white in stead of silver the car has a little rust in under the boot rubber seal this would be a great car to do up as a drag car or street machine . Everything worth anything is being ripped out anyway.. so you'd be paying 8K for a shell with a Walky Kit (less front bar) and no way to prove it is an original.. shame if it was. But no where near 8K's worth

The car used to wear the plates batmobile here in WA. Check the pics half way down in the thread i posted before. the one shot was taken about 5 years ago when it was batmobile, the other was taken just before it was stolen then know as TWR SV. It was sold at auction not that long ago in WA. The pics in the ebay add are the same as the one's in the auction add from Pickles WA. Stevie. Oh yeah and it did go for 8K at auction.

Just checked it did go for $8k, I can't be ass'd checking up who the buyer was. But $8k purchase, then damaged car buyers fee and transport = near $10k so yeah he is trying to get at least some money back. Also the comp plates were removed as they didn't match engine and were returned to vendor.

I spoke to the guy that is selling it on ebay now... he is chasing the build tags from HSV, and might get them. The car was TWR SV and was recovered a while ago from a wherehouse, with other cars (the yellow supercharged monaro was there also)

Doubt he'll get them and the chassis # is still a Police one

Thats painful... If thats a real walky and some fuckwit has gone and done that to it... I hope they enjoy sharing a room with hittler in hell...

He is close to getting the tags... HSV have told him i he can supply the original engine and chassis number that they will give him new tags... he has been in contact with the previous owner to get them, and he might be able to get them.....
