[@dawso2o2]

You could pick these up for $4000 /$6000 when I first got my license 35 years ago

The dirt and rust around the Steering Wheel fasteners shows how little care the owner gave to maintenance. There are many unseen priblems with this one. 👀

[@badaussiedad8558]

it's called "unmolested"

[@sidneystead7270]

If you have ever owned any Holden car with this same steering wheel, then you would know this happens to them all regardless of your claimed " lack of matainance." My guess is that you either drive a fully sic commodore or an e series ford. Both $25.00 cars.

@@sidneystead7270 Your stupid. Every Car I have had since 1971 was a Holden. I know exactly what I'm talking about.

[@sidneystead7270]

I bought a genuine HQ 350 Statesman for $3500 in the early 90s. A pretty decent one too.

@@sidneystead7270 I still own a VE Commodore (ex work duel fuel - my Daily) and Bought a Mercedes C350 V6 when new Commodores were no longer available. 17 year old VE and I know have to maintain it properly.

250k, yer sorry, I don't see it, but I'm an old dinosaur, good luck

[@doncates6848]

Curious as to why there are 2 different exhaust manifolds on the engine?

[@sidneystead7270]

One is a right-hand side, and you guessed it, the other is a left-hand side. Starter motor location and steering location relate to one seeing them as different. They are not identical but are the factory standard supplied units.

Yeah you could buy a house for $250k then too

@@michaelgarner7571 $250000 back then would of bought the best house in my suburb on the beach $4/5 million today

[@sidneystead7270]

This car wasn't 250k when new. It's rather recently been put up for sale. I'm not sure if there is any house other than a Barbie doll house that could be bought for that money.
