For SL/E Fanatics..

[DerekP]

Wasn't sure where to post this since it isn't a question or problem but being a HUGE SL/E fan I thought I'd share this beauty with you. I saw this on my usual trawl through the classifieds and couldn't help myself. If anyone is intersted in what a rare commodore looks like this is it.

I've never seen a SL/E with vinyl seats....
nice, but I think he's dreaming on the price

The seats are factory leather.

I wouldn't pay it, but he might get somewhere near that.

Woah thats mint, lol @ the price though.

Yes there would only be a handful in Australia in that condition.
They still don't command those prices though. I found an SL/X in similar condition (not quite as good and 120k on the clock, colour silver) for $6000 two years ago. I didn't buy it though.
If you could get this one for 10 grand, put it in one of those climate controlled airbag things for 10 years and triple your money.

Apart from the overall excellent condition and extremly low km's, there are two aspects of it that make it particularly rare, factory 308 and factory leather. I agree there is an element of fantasy with the asking price but you would be surprised at what original 5.0 VB's are fetching these days. I wouldn't be surprised if some cashed up dude buys it for somewhere near that money.

the asking price is whatever someone is will to pay. you never know. someone somewhere might buy it. no harm in trying is there
