    Tough car, but he's on drugs if he thinks he'll get anywhere near 35k for it!

    People do up their cars because they enjoy it, and for what it's worth 65k doesn't really get you that much these days.... i know i could easily spend that much...

    All the awesome cars you see in magazines would have spent 65k on their cars.. EASILY.

    Too some people, it's not the money. Its the enjoyment they get out of build up a car that they love in to something they are proud of. I've heard of people selling their houses just to do such a thing.

    $65K on a VK for only 620 horsepower?

    Mate, you could buy a BRAND NEW SS, put a GenTT kit on it and still have change from $65K. The end result would blow the doors off that VK and do it drinking far less fuel to boot.

    If you don't believe me, check this out: http://www.ls1turbo.com.au/genttr.htm

    no matter how good the car is mechanically, i'd never pay a ridiculous amount for a 20 or so year old car.
    one dent, one scratch, one smash, all down the drain, no matter what insurance company you're with.

    no investment back from cars.

    The guy isn't mad for spending that much on his car, he would be more mad to thinking about selling it. It would be stupid doing such thing. If it was me, I'd never sell it because someone would come along with too much money in their pocket and score a bargain. To someone who would have tons of money, there is no doubt in my opinion that it would be a bargain, but overall, it's nothing special or by far original and not a rare item. Buying an original group A HDT build would be a much more worthwhile investment because of it's rareness and a lot cheaper too.

    i hate listening tyo this sometime...

    "i could build a faster car for that"
    "i could by a newer car for that"
    "i could by a better looking car for that"
    "i could make more horses than that"
    "id never spend money on a old car like that"

    blah blah blah blah ### ###'uty blah.......

    i mod VN/VP's cos they are the ****! They are the nicest looking commo's around. I think they look great.

    If i had 65k to spend on a car... i would do a VT HSV R8 M5 AREO super monster car that does a million horses and blows the doors of vayrons.... id do up a VP... cos i like those cars! There is only so much money you can spend on a cars engine before its too stupid to own on the ###'n road. God damnit, paint job, stero, bodykits, rims, interior the car has to be a complete package. And it has too look nice.

    I like his car, i wouldn't by it cos its a vk, and i dont like vk's... thats simple, but if i did then im sure it would be worth it. Good one him, im sure that someone will by it for whats its worth.

    and too all those who manage to think that they have the economical modding guide.... why mod anycar at all???? theres always a new, faster car that needs to have money spent on it... better sell you car now as its already out of date.

    Modding is personal, NO ONE can decide whats a better investment than yourself.

    aZk.
    Wanted to buy:

    1. T5 V8 Bellhousing and Clutch fork assembly suit VP
    2. V8 Tail Shaft, T5, Suit IRS VP
    3. T5 VB Gear Box

    PM Me if you got what i need...
