Hey all,

This is more seeing what interest is out there, as i am looking at getting a new car within the month, and would like to see if anyone would be interested.

1988 HOLDEN VL COMMODORE SL EXECUTIVE
RB30E
MF5 5 SPEED MANUAL
223,000KMs

The Good-
-Full RB25 conversion included. Everything that is needed. Plus a VL calais interior, VLT 5 speed, 3' exhaust. Can also include spare headlights, front gaurds, windscreen and a complete set of Super low springs, struts and shocks, Also a disk brake conversion
=7 month old RPM Heavy Duty clutch
-CSA Multi spoke 17'' wheels
-New pioneer headunit with AUX input & remote controller
-2.5'' catback exhaust with a 3inch dump tip- Not very loud, just a nice RB purr
- The interior is beige in colour.
-Two alpine speakers in carpeted parcel shelf, and two small speakers on in the dash
-Standard engine serviced reguarly since I bought it 2 years ago.
-Full log book history oddly enough
-QLD rego until Nov
-rear tyres good
-newish
-newish adjustable pan hard rod
-Just serviced, plugs, diff, box, engine, throttle body clean.

The No'so Good.
-Front tyre tread is getting low
-The car has a dinted roof, only just noticeable
-scratches on doors and boot
-The handbrake no longer stays up, Im making the assumption that the ratchet assembly has failed internally, only the ratchet needs replacement. Has a replacement ratchet with sale.

And the Big Part,

Although i am selling a VLT gearbox with it, Since owning the car, It has slowly developed a knock from the gearbox which has gotten louder and louder until now that it is extremely audible. It only occurs when the clutch is engaged. My intention was too just install a new 5 speed, but do too a lack of interest with wanting a new car, and only having one car between 2 people, its not practical or do-able for me to have the car off the road to fix.

I am a P plater, but this is not that "fully hektik sick mismatched panel cut off exhaust max skids" VL. I bought the car becuase i adore the lines, and it has started a love for these that i will never let go off. The Engine has only ever died on me once, and that was over one year ago when the crank angle sensor died after it was parked for a week. Replaced that, and the car has started first time and run for in some cases days on end and never failed. I drove it from Tamworth in NSW to Townsville, with a full load of belongings, and it never skipped a beat. 5th gear on the highway also saw 650km of a tank.

This will be perfect for some who is looking for a reliable and tidy 1st car, with the prospect of a turbo conversion there and ready to go.

I Don't have a starting price, but i bought it for $4500, So i will say $6000 this includes the full conversion, calais interior, electric windows etc. It will not come with a RWC as i cannot see the gearbox or handbrake issue being passed. It has rego until Nov 2012
Many will slag off at that price I am sure, but this is not a car that has been dug up from the banks of the ross river.

Located in Townsville
Please only text as i work 6 days a week from 7am til well into the night

Get a RWC if you can, it will make your car alot easier to sell. A car with no roadworthy cert says just that, a car that has problems with it to big for the owner to fix (even though they might be small). No rwc instantly drops the value of the car. Just my opinion anyway....
