THE CREAM OF THE CLASSIFIEDS

THIS TAKES SOME getting used to. $185k for a car wit h an Aunger louv re? I can reca ll a time when, even in RPO83 spec, this would have been a fairly cheap car. Now t he ask ing price is way up t here at nearly t wo hundred grand. Still, as we’ve seen from recent auction results, if you have t he right Aussie muscle car in t he right trim, you can v irtually name your price. Which Chester here has ever y right to do and we don’t doubt t hat it’ll f ind a ta ker. One of only 259 produced, t his is one of eight f inished in factor y paint code Z Wild Violet exterior wit h a beige v inyl roof. The car remains mainly unrestored but is in overa ll tidy nick. It’s not something t hat I’d be tempted by, but I’ll include it here because I k now plent y of people who right now are doing some prett y disgracef ul ‘man maths’ in order to get t his in t heir lock-up.
