Amazing original and low kilometre example of one of the most iconic Commodores. Can only imagine what it will make at auction. 👍🏻

[@jeffking6286]

$346,100 so far with a day and a half still to go......

[@leewright7623]

@@jeffking6286 wow. Half a million possibly then ?

[@deputycartman]

It finished at $430,000 not including buyers fees. 👍🏻

[@micko_]

Imagine buying one of these brand new and never driving it

[@ScubaAnt72]

Work of art. "Sold for $430,000".

Beyond Amazing!

Thankyou JB. Love your enthusiasm for all things racing especially the Australian stuff! Legend 👍

[@doncates6848]

Gonna need Deep Pockets to land this Iconic piece!!👍👍🤟🤟🤟😎😎!!!

[@allantaylor3288]

Love these VK Group A’s

[@sp19822]

As of now, it is up to $260,400. Might get over a million. Maybe Clive Palmer might buy it for his museum.

[@kenwest.5735]

Excellent vk

[@jimclarke1108]

Amazing, as he said

[@aulzhoefer]

Lovely car

[@LawrenceTheKiwiBryant]

Absolutely amazing!!! I know that these machines are starting to show up in overseas collections such as in New York. Probably go for close to 500k, sounds mad however it's worth every penny for such an example in the collector car world. These rare and obscure vehicles from Aussy are an important peice of motor racing history and when compared to the other GrpA cars of the Era their isn't to many of them to go around!!

[@frankcheney3987]

Lloyds sold one with 2000 Klms in 2018 for $330k which was a record, that would be the lowest in Oz

[@timmy74712345]

NICE!

[@MitchZero9]

Ive seen it in the background for a few vids now, but I want that CV8-Z!!

[@chrisstaff5870]

Wow!

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

That'll be interesting to see what kind of money it brings... Brock's own one sold for over $1m and a high ks one went for $165k last year. So an unrestored one with such low ks, you'd have to imagine it'll fetch somewhere in the $300k range. But I guess it's as valuable as the people who are writing the cheques deem it to be on the day.

[@PM2esc]

I've been looking at bit on grass online lately would be handy if they made some easy and minor improvements to their search function. As it is now you can't put several choices in at once then press apply you can only do one choice then the page refresh then you make another choice and if has to refresh again. Would be nice to save my search parameters such as my state only etc.

[@themanwithdahelmet]

I reckon 190% its a flip slapper replica job..... grays out to rort big time!

[@darrengray2309]

I have a fair idea I know this car I haven't seen it for about 7 years it was bought new and was a one owner it still had it's original tyres on it when I last saw it in about 2016 and had less than 20ks on it

[@filipos7459]

One of the badges was painted with what looked like fresh paint (not 30 year old paint)

[@brendanbarker2095]

That’s what I thought

[@craZYbob317]

Sold for 430K

[@gassit137]

Great to see John with a stiffy, quite firm myself actually!!

[@troyfitzmaurice6834]

How many ended up in new Zealand. Because my old boss bought one wen came out. Long time ago.

[@seanhutton7155]

"Canon signwrighting concept" by any chance? owner took me for a spin, 120kph in first gear. something i will never forget

[@brittenv1000]

I nearly bought one in Auckland for 20k. Never would've thought they'd hit these prices😅

[@greg4390]

All original ? Looks to have just been painted.

[@macdouglas1087]

Did you even notice one of the badges were painted over too?

[@harleyd9180]

Would you buy a used car from this man? 😮

[@mrivantchernegovski3869]

800k maybe at end of auction

[@paullaws4965]

go around the 300k mark? still don't know why they pull that money

[@marksmith2726]

Yep and with that low K's it would need a full mechanical resto so fuck paying that for a VK. Wake up Bowe!!

[@obiemichaels9675]

Why would it need a full mechanical restoration? I know build number 10 had just over 25000km, I know of a couple of A9X toranas with similar and less km and they didn't need full mechanical restorations.

[@marksmith2726]

@@obiemichaels9675 Well seen it multiple times people buying these so called cars and when they actually start driving them regularly shit goes south real quick

pfff, brake caliper looks like its done 200,000 kms, noisy tappet, mmmm, I think someones telling phurphys. How much they paying you John.

[@marksmith2726]

Yes indeed

[@ozzylambo8793]

That’s been resprayed. Not completely original. Has average paint job.

[@ToranaA9X308]

Any credibility went COMPLETELY out the window when the cast iron exhaust manifolds were shown which were NOT fitted to group As

[@user-qt9sz5kv7k]

Actually a run of them were fitted with cast iron manifolds. At a time, there were manufacturing delays because of Tooling and fabrication issues New vehicle owners had the option of returning the car for a half day fit out of the specd part once teething problems were rectified. Unfortunately some of the new owners never went for it for what ever reason.
