prices seem to vary from $13,000(carsguide) up to $55,000(austrailan muscle car sales) so i guess it depends what kind of condition it is in an what the person selling thinks it is worth an it looks like there were only 75 made.Hope this helps

is it an auto or manual?

i would say it wouldnt be worth mega money as its a v6, not a v8 and the lack of a complience plate as you've said (not road legal) may play against yourself.

WGR was Wayne Gardener's attempt at a "special vehicle" build. Unfortunately it lacked the same thing that every other HSV knock off - no factory warranty. Thus build numbers were very limited.

It is very hard to value those cars now as to the right person they are worth a bit however (as evidenced above) they are not widely known. As matey said above too - V6 will limit it's appeal.

WGR 1 as the number plate and build tag says is in new Zealand at my mate's place. It's long lost the LS and auto is now running a supercharged 304 and T5 manual.
