- Commodore VC 4 cylinder L Sedan
Hi,
I have a yellow VC Commodore L Sedan with the infamous Starfire 4 cylinder in it. Basically, it's a car handed-down through the family and used by 3 people.
I'm at the point where I'm deciding whether to sell it on, and hopefully someone makes good use of it or retains it, or whether to store it up myself for it's potential "history" status.
Being such an unpopular engine option, I don't think many were actually made, and of those that were I suspect a lot have not been maintained in original condition. So, while it will probably never be a big dollar collector's item, I'm wondering if I keep it original whether it will prove to be a rarity in the future?
I'd probably look at getting the dreaded engine rebuilt for unleaded fuel and to re-invigorated the horses it didn't have, and probably a bit of a general body touch-up. But it's pretty good for it's age and wouldn't take much to be a good example of one from the time.
What do you think?
