With those, you don't exactly have a range to choose from. It's pretty much take what you can get.

They come up from time to time. 150 made from memory Nice looking cars, but low on power ( carby V8 and no mods) The best ones are of course unmodified and genuine ones but make sure what you look at is genuine. Every non genuine thing on them will probably result in a lower price.

yeh, had carby 137kw ?? motor. I've got an article in Motor Magazine where it averaged 28.8L per 100k's on the test drive. Thats like 200 ks' to a tank. Admittedly they would have been driving it hard but I could only get 260k's to a tank out of my carby VL V8 (hence why i changed to injection). The perforated leather in the seats no longer exists, so make sure you get one with that part of the trim in good nick still, and as someone said, get a totally original one.

For pics just check out the Summernats edition of street commodores a few months ago. There an absolute gem of an SV88 in there, although highly modified. It will give you inspiration for your project. 8)
