What would you pay?

[stickthis]

I wonder how many others are just getting traded around and never getting anything done to them?
Looks like quite a few are just not worth restoring unless you can do it all yourself and have endless spare time.

Wish I could find the Palais White HZ I sold... :(

Jason, I hope you don't mind me saying, but I never did understand why you sold it (HZ) in the first place considering it was your 'one to have' .

I have seen pics of your HX part done on Fletch (I think). You should post some pics up of the build.

Ps. I like milt julup more than white anyway

Pps. I sold a valiant vc sleeper 15 years ago to get married and buy the place I live at now, but I still regret it

Agree. I love Mint Julep now! Agreed more than white. (shh dont tell everyone). I had to sell the Palais White HZ at the time. Divorce and needed the $ to pay out what was left after the house I sold and paid for twice....

I will do a build page for sure mate. There is just sooooooo many photos to go through. I have put up heaps on Facebook. But need to get an album happening here! Shes nearly finished. Complete with 1976 Lucas Battery. ;) Its a very very factory correct build.
Here is a couple to drool over
Im yet to add all the picking labels and production stamps and markings. I will do that once its all together. 20 years of collecting samples of production paint picking letter stamping and marks will come together finally.

In this climate lucky to get 10K and it will only be worth less the longer he keeps it imho
it takes a dedicated person to do a full resto a a panel van
oh having a bit of $$$$ helps to

I always like to look at finished figures. there was one here in WA that was listed at 72k, dropped to 60 then 55 and ended up selling (it was a much better market than today) for $42k. It owed the seller over 100k.

so this is where all those 'wanted' ads for parts have been going Jas

Unless it's highly spec'd, desirable combination and you have a person wanting that exact configuration you are always going to struggle with getting huge dollars.
Even getting somebody to pay 42K for an old HQ-Z restored wouldn't be an easy sale.
