LeeM Posted 6June, 2021 Report Share Posted 6June, 2021 The last decent Aussie 2.7 narrow body I know of sold for under $100k coupla months ago off market. This one is a very nice looking car no doubt, yet $169k is drug money, so if they get even close to it, that raises the bar yet again for everything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is a very nice looking car no doubt, yet $169k is drug money, so if they get even close to it, that raises the bar yet again for everything else With 3.2s selling in less than a day for $170k. I think the bar has been set again. Good luck finding a decent one for less than $150k. If you're after an Aussie delivered low kms sort after spec, you're looking at $185k plus. I honestly think the Japanese and Holden car price hike has attributed greatly to the P car rise. 5 years ago for example you could purchase an NSX $80k. Now you're looking at around $150k. Now at $150k for an NSX and $120k for an RX7, SC's and 3.2's are a bargain and I know a few people who have cashed in on Japanese classics to purchase P cars. As a result, I think prices are adjusting accordingly. I have no doubt that by the end of the year $200k upwards will be reasonable money for average 3.2s and SC's won't be far behind that. Just my 2 cents though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrenalin62 Posted 7June, 2021 Report Share Posted 7June, 2021 '76 Targa, i have a U.S import RHD Targa for sale. I lack the tech skills to upload pics here, during my custodianship there has been a considerable amount of work completed to make this car a truly drivers car.This car is a 2.7 and has surprised many with its performance, reco gearbox matched to a strong engine provides a visceral driving experience. Paint presents really well. Ideal entry into the A/C market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Taurus sho was the us ‘muscle’ version before they started building proper muscle cars again. I always picked first gen vipers as a future winner, nothing like it since or ever again.

Either way, whatever it sold for back then (1 year plus?) is irrelevant now. The market has shifted, and it's value is considerably more today.
