This is rare

None of that really has much relevance in its rarity though.
I can't see too many cab-chassis being cherished today, perhaps only a true Survivor in L31 M41 combination someone might like to keep in original condition. I used to always have tonners as they were easier to keep alive (less rust prone) and better to tow with as the longer wheelbase helped. But today I can't see the point, a VY-VZ V8 tonner is a far more comfortable car.

Your right, it's probably a "rare" combination and thus a rare car. But rare vs desirability is not the same thing.

Totally agree. I never said it was desirable, just a rare build. I think it is the only tonner I can recall in original 567 paint. Nowadays odd or rare stuff like that excites me more than plain old vanilla stuff that is definitely more sought after but once you've seen hundreds of the same thing it tends to lose its excitement factor.
