ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 11m 28d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 09/08/07 12:47 PM Share Posted 09/08/07 12:47 PM Rest assured it will sell for that money.People are not buying them for anything but investment. Saying it is not worth it is like saying a Picasso is not worth $50mil. It is a $500 frame, some canvas and painted badly by some dead dood.The Phase4 is the ONLY ONE and would be an awsome investment for $2mil as the other one is a racecar and never went down the production line. The one owned by the dentist is the sole survivor and worth whatever someone will pay for it.In 1991 I bought a RT charger for $3,000 and sold it 6 weeks later for $9,000 without touching it. It was sold last year fully restored for $90,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Zap mentioned, it is like buying art - the worth is far more than the some of its parts.Its probably going to be a facet of some rich bastards superannuation portfolio along with shares, property and the like - possibly not ever to be used by the buyer.It shows that there must be some value in Aussie muscle cars - without the demand they wouldn't even dream of asking these types of dollars.

Sure couldn't build one (replica) for that. A so called replica but with a number of unoriginal parts just sold for over $53K on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...DME:B:WNA:AU:12 Edited 14/08/07 09:09 AM by Falchoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
