I hate it when people put together difficult to comprehend adds with various differing conditions dependant on final value like this. Just wasting money on fees because less people will be interested in bidding on something from a possible numbskull. Just a tip.

Agreed... seller would be better off listing seperate items (ie: wrecking it) and getting individuals to take different parts, rather than one person take the whole thing...

Anyone who took the whole car would just wreck it anyways...

Effin cool Monza Van (?). Speaking of vans in Perth, I know it's from the darkside but I don't discriminate, how evil is the Kwinnie performance pano / burnout sled. Always manages to do a good job 'lighting up the rears'.

Yeah not interested in that Vauxhall, even for $250. Not worth the effort to restore it up. Might be of some use if you had an LC or other first gen rana if you could find an untouched section to patch a rust hole, but not a lot else as sheet metal is about all you can use off em. Despite appearances, the differences between the HB and the LC & LJ are nearly greater than the LC/J compared to a UC Sunturd.

Be good for the poms though. Wonder if it'd fetch anything over there. Probably $300.

I thought you were going to mention an XC van I knew of that had the triangle and the rainbow from the "Darkside of the Moon" album by Pink Floyd, my old neighbour did that one years ago, looked good, black as with that album cover on the side.

bit pricey I would have thought...

at the end of the day - its an EB XR8... thats had some aftermarket mods done...
$16,000 - $20,000...

I'd reckon i'd be shopping for an ED sprint or an early AU T-series for this sort of money...

I wonder what it has been doing for the past 18 years...
average of 200km per year...

So has it been regularly started, driven, serviced, etc?

That is my ultimate EB - i'm a previous owner of an everglade EB ghia (6cyl) and if I could ever find one again that is in great condition, i'd consider it...
but not for $19k...

As you say Prof... $19k gets you a BA/BF Ghia with the lot... and a number of other potential cars...

though - I still want it...

yep i had an everglade eb ghia 347ci so it speaks to me too! but yeah those were my thoughts too, having that little use, there would be many things going wrong on it after it starts trundling around again.
