Default ED GLi interior

Hello all,
I have just bought a really nice, one elderly owner EB GLi in immaculate condition except that the front has been remodelled by a power pole.

It has only done 124,000km and the interior is the nicest EB2/ED interior that I have seen since my EB was new. The car has a sun visor, weathershields (painted black on the top) and a rear louvre so the interior has never seen direct sunlight. The Everglade paint on the car is also pristine so I think the car has been garaged all it's life too.

This is not a for sale/EOI post but merely a what would it be worth type post.

The interior is no good to me as I already have a Fairlane Ghia interior in my car so the only parts that will improve my interior are the steering wheel and the console lid.

Now would I be better off selling this interior (what would it be worth?), placing it in storage and possibly returning my EB to stock one day or purchasing another EB with a ratty interior (I have found one of those) and doing it up a bit?

Thanks, Jim...

IMO, even being immac, you'd be lucky to get $200 for a gli interior.

As for the rest of the car, if you sold it complete, being smashed, I'd say up to $600 or so.

No one wants a GLi interior. Sorry.

I won't be selling the whole car as my wagon's engine is dying a slow death. Can't complain though it's done 489,000 it's head gasket was last done at 140,000 (are they programmed to last 140,000?)

I had an ED Gli Interior, which I replaced with a Fairlane Ghia one when the car only had 63,000k's on it.

It was immac, and I couldn't give it away...

The interior would be lucky to fetch $50.

And I mean extremely lucky.

Some guy with an EA falcon might pick it up for $50 but fairmonts are almost as cheap now.

I am coming down to Vic in 3 weeks but for $50 the seats are staying in my shed just in case I want to put my wagon back to standard and immaculate.

Hence the original question so the answer seems to be keep them.

Yeah, it's unfortunate, but can't be helped. Even EA/EB1 Ghia seats don't sell for much, because everyone want EBII/ED Ghia ones.
