Hey people. ive been looking for a vlt for a while now, and have grown tired of me vl n/a, a story were all to familiar with. well i think ive finally found a winner. It is owned by an old dude, who bought it off the showroom floor way back in '87. It has clocked a genuine 147,000 ks, and has remained in flawless condition since he bought it. One look and you'll agree. The red interior is abit of a turn off, but when u see how well its been maintained, youd have to be crazy not to grab it. Here are some pics below. Have a geeeeez. he is asking $7,000 Sorry, im no photographer. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mate id buy it so quick, it will get snapped up so fast in that condition. Its stock as a rock, most likely not thrashed and there doesnt look like there is a fault with it. My friend had a lady on his street that was selling an perfect VLCT and it got sold within a day of being put out on the road. Worth $7k

yeah, my mate works as a holden mechanic and the owner works with him, and said he wanted to get rid of it. can u believe he owns a VS 5ltr acclaim and has only clocked 10,000 ks in it since new!? i couldnt belive it either...... then i looked at the instrument cluster.....

Nice shame about those hubcaps though. If you buy it please keep it original. Just read your above replies.......another one modded and much of the value lost Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

New wheels, fine, but drill one hole in the interior or mess with the body or engine and I'll be down on you like a ton of bricks !! Truly though, drive it like it is and you can name your own price when you feel the need to upgrade in a couple of years. How did you get wind of it ?

Yeah, sounds like a great buy. I personally wouldn't buy it cos the red interior turns me off but for $7K you can't complain.

yeah tell me about it. I DONT WANT TO SPOIL IT!!!!!! Luckily for me though, i was the first guy to be notified of its sale. my mate works with the owner at a holden dealership. he didnt want to advertise it in the trady, cause he felt all young guys/hoons would just want to have a look and drive it. im 19, and suppose i got very lucky. it needs to have a wheel change and to be lowered atleast..... maybe just interceptors with nice hubbys on it. VX acclaims look nice, i got them on my vl n/a at the moment. make it a full sleepa. dont worry ak, i wont go as low as this.... maybe. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
