Thats very very similar to my parts ute that I bought for $300 and mine is in heaps better shape body wise..

Well actually overall condition..

haha

The fronts are the worst holden design ever.. I am soo glad that they got rid of it and replaced it with the 'Kingswood' rectangular headlight front in August 1980..

I can see why this one is ten buck's Mauser. If the first one is as good as it look's, I would pay that if I was after one.

I doubt 71,000klm by the look of under the bonnet, wrong strips on the side, badges incorrect position, engine looks like a red under the blue paint, bench seat, i would say about $4.5k would pull that one up.

I was going to say the same Buck,wrong mirrors, no gts dash,etc etc,that would have started life as a six!

**hx-sandman** · 27-04-2012, 09:53 AM

At that price I'd actually want a kingswood with all the good bits - kingswood stripes, full instrumentation dash etc. As a 1984 model I wonder why it has the early mirrors. Maybe it got cannibalised and fixed with leftovers?

I'd be surprised if anyone would pony up those sort of dollars for it.

Its not a kings wood, thats why. Its just a plain jane wb with a V8. Nothing special really. Kingswood had full body mouldings and Kingswood mirrors, door handles and the vertical strips behind the doors. Stupid money in my opinion. Maybe if it was a factory V8 kingswod with factory sports dash and bucket seats in a nice colour.

I'm kinda hoping that even those specs aren't worth 14k in a wb cause I just got rid of mine for a hell of a lot less than that, although it had been tainted with a dirty old Chev and turbo 400.
