nice ute ( i have the slll 1998 maloo myslef) rare? thats what i 1st thought when i got mine lol.....mine is red and mint in side and out i have maloo coulson seats ( i think thats the name) in mine (came stock like that)..thay go for around 6k (low) 8k (high ) any were ( carsales.com thay are on offer for 6k up to 10 k) any over 7k tend not to sell.one of the reasons is the vu ute (if thats the 1 after the vs? ute) are sporting a 5.7ltr chev v8 and all the you rev head who just get off p plates are tending to go for the 5.7ltr v8...the maloo vs range is realy just a tarted up vs v8 ute with a few extras added,lsd,cruise,abs, were all available on vs stock v8 ute if wanted....im not putting our maloo,s down mate ( trust me im not) but to say thay are rare is pretty out there lol...not many of our models made i agree (mines 147 of 500 ) but rare ( if ment in resect of worth $$$ in years to come?? id so no)...........maloos wont go down in price as fast as a stock vs or ss v8 ute ( but wont be far behind) as i sad mines as stock as thay day it came out of the hsv in clayton vic wheels and all ( now mods bar the stereo) one of the biggest probs is the 5ltr was upped by a chev 5.7 ltr and rev heads just love power and chevs.im at the point that i eaither say (yeah its a hsv and will be we worth more$$$ down the track like in 2030 or say fark it and mod the libing **** out of it so its a mean looking machine ( so if you asked me a maloo owner? id say im better off modding the guts out of it than leaving it a low powered 5lr (vs 5.7 chev v8 )would be worth more stroked lowered with maj eng mods ( but then again that cost $$$$$) so its a catch 22 mate ....the days of lj.slr toranas and old for v8 turning a huge $$$ mark up wont happen 30yrs after a maloo is 1st made....classic muscle cars will always be from the 1950 to the misd 70s .in our age of almost plastice cars , pls dont take this post as a neg on your car .....im just saying from another 1998 maloo owners point of veiw.cheeeer
