VP Calais HSV tuned
Hi

I recently brought a VP Calais 5ltr 11/1991 build with the HSV Enhanced option built 01/1992. I'm having trouble finding a approx. price of what the car is worth. all I have found is post from 2006 with a asking price of $14500 or standard VP Calais 5ltr asking about $7000-$8000. It needs a little body work and a few small bits to bring it back to it former glory.
Once I have fixed it what can I realistically expect to get from the car?
Where is the best place to buy genuine replacement parts?

Redbook says $1300 to $2800.

I should add that I owned a new VP Enhanced Calais from 5/1992, for three years and 85,000 kms. It was a magnificant car, very powerful and with an auto that was far more responsive than the lack-lustre electronic autos in the VR/VS series. However, that was back in the day, and today is in the now. Old cars are just not worth very much, unless they are very, very special.

Being v8 calais would make it easier to sell than a v6.

HSV enhanced dash plaque & firewall tag is nice to have but not really adds value usually just suspension kit or 180kw pack (memcal/knock sensor/exhaust).

Not a bad car to have yet not highly valued either.
