I would rather a new XR8 and keep the change.

Knowing HSV and their output claims the XR8 is probably more powerful anyways if measured at the wheels.

Yeah that or a new Supercharged VF GTS & a couple of rental properties.

But the guy was silly enough to list some of the cheaper cars he would buy if it sells it, including a F430 Ferrari

Comments like that are hardly going to help sell it.

Lol...

[Franco Cozzo]

$900,000 and it doesn't even have A/C or a stereo lol

I'd take that $900,000 and buy an EA Falcon with a 3sp for $500, and then spend the last $899,500 on high class escorts.

Which is probably why I don't have $900,000.

And I thought I had a slight addiction lol

[Yellow_Festiva]

Love the updates at the end...

[Trump]

The owner sounds like a complete twat.

He'll be owning it for quite a while me thinks...

[malazn mafia]

2 door banana boat VT with a big block bolted into the front. No thanks.. for 900k it at least needs to look good.

[Road Games]

Guess who may have been the winning bidder they talk about in the article...

Not posting the E-bay pic for fear of legal action sorry :P

[Grippy]

Despite the price, that is a hell of a car considering its factory built, id love it.

Really? So you agree with the price tag. Wow. I'm surprised anyone would no matter the circumstances. Good kit, one off,fast and so on.......

[sbutler]

I dont know where they get the most expensive car sold in Australia from?
Wasn't there a 71 GTHO sold a few years ago for $1mill??

[40RDT]

Lol you could probably buy a new GTS in every colour for the same kinda $$$

[JIm260]

Some people have more money than sense!

Those links are 2 years old!
That's the car that Pickles auctioned off a few years ago.It was owned by a bogan from Queensland who threw money around like a drunken sailor buying muscle cars-the only problem was that when his business went belly up all his toys got repossessed and sold.

[mr smith]

Old news man. Bubble has burst now as well. Wouldn't get $200K for it today.

[STEALTHY]

As Morexbs said, those links are 2 years old.

What the article doesn't mention, is that the car sold for much lower, and also included another car (i think maybe the GTS/R or a walky) so not the true value.

Personally though, i'd buy it if i had that spare coin to throw around, but i like rare cars

[Eaturbo]

Still can't be registered or driven on the road, waste of money.

[XR398BOSS]

The fastest production car in Australia, and the only one. WTF? Hahaha

There were 2 prototypes and this was the only one sold, which means it is the only one available.
Considering the car only cost I'm $365,000 the asking price is a tad unrealistic.

[buggerlugs]

One of my customers just picked up a 2002 Model for $8000.00. Old mate just got retrenched in the mines, Mum up the duff as well. Had $20,000 on it, dropped to $17,000 then $15,000 then $12000. Customer offered $8000 folding stuff and he took it.......

Phase 3 prices were pushed up by criminals via an auction scam which then got genuine buyers hooked in and the prices have now dropped back to high but far more realistic levels
yes I think this monaro's price is over the top but it's 1 of 1 available and is unique spec so definitely worth good coin to someone although what $ is achieveable I'm not sure.
some people need to get over their own bias re ford v holden when commenting

Well time they started to inflate prices of Ba/bf GT now.

The story on this Monaro reads very similar to the Phase 4. Going to build it for racing, do a small production run for the public which never happened. There were four Phase 4's, one production model and one that went racing as a rally car. This Monaro, 2 raced at Bathurst and won, they built two prototypes of which Holden kept one and one is sold. Everyone says how the Phase 4 is worth squillions. There's no reason this car couldn't be worth the same as a Phase 4 considering the similarities in their production. You've got to admit the stories for both are very similar.

And it's a Coupe. Not many Commo two doors around to start with.

To a degree, yes. but two different eras. The Phase 4 was at the highest of the Australian Muscle Car Era. And Ford pulled the pin on the project because of the Australian Government.

The 427 Monaro - Holden pulled the pin due to the lack of Sales.

these GRM built cars that I personally had a hand in, were shelved by holden as it was not viable..

the end price tag was in excess of $320,000 each, you know that it's not going to sell.
to much work went into the hand built stroked LS1 and custom made holinger box.
