Definitly my next faverote HQ.. The poor man's GTS we used to call them.

Actually there were a relatively large amount of them made (around 2800). Compare this to only hundreds of each of other collectable HQ's like GTS350, XW8 Kingswood, Sandman etc. And they'll never be worth good $ as they'll always be even to or less collectable than basic HQ GTS or XV4 Kingswood (both in 253 M20) and certainly less desirable than a 308 GTS or XV4. A real good survivor example would be nice to have, but I can't see a restored one being worth much more than a full resto cost. Unless you were really handy that particular one would cost you well over $25k to do to a reasonable resto, add that to your purchase cost and you may be way over-capitalised. Some people love these though!
