A bid at $900k?
Has badbundybear listed it? Edit: Herald Sun was wrong. It currently has no bids on it. I am shocked ! |

It will be interesting to see if the bidder is legit.
However, consumers didn't want to pay $140,000 for the VE 427, I doubt this will make it.

One of two 427 monaros ( no doubt the last australian coupes that will ever be built)
I can see the attraction No different to a phase 4, only difference being that the phase 4's probably went for a song People are a lttle more astute now but it is a lot of money Last edited by neptune blue; 12-03-2013 at 07:43 PM. |

I have to admit I had a monaro once and as good as they might be? You could get a nice collection of cars for that sort of coin.

I would! Forget about the Bugatti Veyron! Or even forget about 5 Ferrari Californias or 4 Ferrari 458s. 1 Holden is the best value for money that $1M can buy
![]() Damn, if one could only buy a Pagani Huayra for that money! |

I wouldn't spend a dollar on a Holden let alone one million dollars.

Well, for $75,000 you can have it. Still pretty much brand new/undriven.

What he said. And if I had $1M spare, I would definitely buy it (even though it's a Holden). New monaro, old monaro = both classics, I reckon.

Is that thing a VT commodore ? That front bar and lights closely resemble something from 1998.

Monaros had slightly different headlights to the VT, the inside edge is a different shape where it meets the grill. The 427's bar has the same grill shapes as the regular monaro, but with different inserts.

I remember when this thing was announced when I was back in high school and I love as much now as I did then.
I don't have $1mil and probably never will but it's no more stupid than the GTs that go for the big money considering it is very rare. |

Yep if I had the cash. Don't care if it is Ford or Holden.
Part of this country's automotive history when the auto makers had some balls to be creative. Mate right here in Adelaide dropped 100k deposit for one of these road going versions back in the day. When they pulled the plug he spat it and ordered his new GTS COUPE with the 427. Fitted at the dealership. Money talks and BS walks. |

No I wouldn't.
If I had a million to spend on a car, there are much better cars out there than a molested Dunnydore. |
