Apex 693 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 This car has been in his family since new and would have had much more then 50k spent on it over its life. I cant remember this car not being around the local car seen. Would be hard to part with... What is real HP?? Last time I hear someone say that was when I delt to a HSV in my Astra Turbo, the inbreed Holden fan tried to tell me anything with a Turbo is cheating and its not REAL HP.. Maybe it’s a V8 driver thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaver 55 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 The only real power is a v8 with a turbo/blower, best of both worlds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creaver 55 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I think $15k for a rare mint souped up cossie is well worth the coin. Perhaps we could look at getting real power upgrades Greg? If only my wallet was a little heavier/fatter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Closes tomorrow night - its at just under $7k. I'm no expert, but 500hp potential or not, I think this is still fairly cheap based on the amount of gear in it. My Nanna had one of these the same colour. 2L Auto though. Bought it brand new in '89. We sold it after she died in 2006 for $5k 50,000km on the clock, 17 yrs old! Was mint. Edited April 5, 2009 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted April 6, 2009 Ha i'm guessing his mate bought it then, no way would he let it go for that amount! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaver 55 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 Probably, user was 'new'. I know it's totally against trademe rules, and I would not be happy if I was the second top bidder...but I sort of don't blame the guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's totally against trademe rules, and I would not be happy if I was the second top bidder...but I sort of don't blame the guy. My thoughts too, couldn't let it go for that much, better to put a firm price on it and wait for the right person to come along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 Don't go soft on me now guys. If you're going to list no reserve auctions, at least have the balls to go thru with them. Two things I hate about trademe, people who do this, and people who pull auctions after the reserve's been met. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
