    I'd say crap personally for $5k because i wouldn't pay squat for a VL, but let's say i liked them, $5k is not too bad for a 5.7 stroke 304 with trans and diff work provided the car is clean and straight and the diff, trans and engine all work fantastic.

    It is worth as much as you are willing to pay, simple as that. Personally I hate VL's, so I would not pay anything more than $100 for it.

    ok im with you on the hate of vl except for calais version but it has the potential to fly considering i could put a set of thicker head gaskits on it transplant the eaton blower to it and wella blowen 5.7 with a six speed and 9 inch but ok vl probably not the best loooking but you should see the utes body its screwed hence the delima

    Well there is no dilemma, if you are happy to pay that price, buy it. You could pick up a decent Vr/VS SS for that price though. Maybe even a nice VN Calais etc.

    ill ring him tommoro and see what is done to the internals of the engine. on the other hand i could swap the drive train over to the ute and the perfect sleeper that every one laughs at and sell the vl i dont know im in two minds. i could get it and part it out id make money on it

    Have you got a link to this Auction? A banged up Y Series is not listed on Pickles.

    bout as fun as a stock ba xt falcon chopping a vn ss.

    its worth what you want to pay for it, i agree with minux for once. pay what you want for it, it takes a special person to love a vl

    Whatever you say.

    I guess I am only seeing things when I see these cars go this cheap.

    But it, then sell me the motor and gearbox for 2k, then you can keep the VL and diff, thats gotta be a bargain

    Personally i hate VL's, but sounds like a wicked combination, if your keen, maybe buy it and swap the goodies into a better body
