The house was well over a hundred years old, so I imagine the builder has well shut up shop:)


So it's not an internet over inflation, which seems to be the theme of the topic with Holden car parts o_O

So what would you put it down to, with prices mysteriously going through the roof, just because a manufacturer closed up? The prices for superceded models never went up prior to the shut down
It’s just the mad world we live in.

And for years, what is occurring with this madness was put down to people being off their dial on drugs....But I'll admit I am a bit behind the times...I have been saying it's weed, when in fact the drug of choice that is all over the news is ice....So I'll change my wording with the next stupidly priced item

Here's a change....The money asking seems reasonable for what it is

If I wasn't such a tight ass, I'd go and have a sticky with the view to buy....But I best not
That VX wagon in the associated links has only done 12345km according to the ad, so hardly used and is only $2500. :p

Worth a look? But you might be disappointed.
or the 4 cylinder manual at $35000

Plenty of people on all sorts of gear out at Smithfield. I'm not surprised the dreamers think they will get that price, they're all high.

The 4 pot me being disappointed...Yeah slightly....:)....Needs another 2 cylinders at least....Now, if they had another 4 banger motor to go with it, I'd take the rods and put them in my 6 pot...But the price would have to come down slightly

The VX...Hummm....Bit rough and ready me thinks.....Maybe it was used to go back and forth to church and the local shops....:):):)

But hey, thanks for the post.....
