VY 2 SS Ute with HBD canopy - what's she worth?

[Vombil]

so who thinks i should sell my SS torana and my HJ Sandman van and buy a CV8 and a V series van instead?

have some old and some new!

[Innuendo]

Me either

But adding those wouldn't hurt. Nothing wrong with having them all!

[thatotherguy]

i would love to have them all but we already have 10 cars,a ski boat and 2 trailers and no room left under cover. The CV8 and V series van could be used daily but i am reluctant to take the Torana and van (if it was going) to work because of theft and damage but hate just having cars sitting in the shed with covers over them not being driven

[Innuendo]

Even the new is not so new anymore! VY's are a good 10+ years now.

[Cocko750]

Yep my ve is 8 yo this year and is worth nothin except to me so it will be kept , maybe it will go unregoed this year if I can get a duel cab to do what it and my 97 rodeo does but don't know what to get nothing's worth the money they want.

[Robbo]

I agree with Innuendo, have them all.

It's funny how perception has changed. People still class a VY as new or modern. Yet a HQ in 1984 was classed as old and outdated.
I remember overhearing at the Van Nationals how people hate these "new" cars straight out the showroom turning up and ruining their chances.

Yes, old & new are all just a mind set.

About 8 or 9 years ago when we still used to fit a lot of car air cond units, I had a phone call from a customer asking if we still fitted air cond to old Holdens.

My retort was, "by old Holden, do you mean FJ, EH or HQ ?" His answer was: it's a VL Commodore.

So, to him I guess an HQ would be an "ancient" Holden.

I have to agree and relate,

I have a VS ute, it's pretty good, got a few bells and whistles, I call it Bevan and the first thing people under 30 say is that it's a " tidy old thing " like it's a 1936 Buick lol

VS Commodores are nearly 20 years old and very popular with the young lads.We have one too and it was when the VS was built that they started painting cars decent colours,(apart from the 70s and 80s of course)ours is botanica mica and there was also a colour that looked black but in the sun it had red in it,i think it was called cherry mica? Try and find a series 2 VS V8 calais,people say commodores will never be collectable but i disagree.In years to come finding a good VN SS or VL V8 Calais will be the same as trying to find a factory 308 HG premier is today
