Spotted on FB marketplace, not advertised for sale, but someone asking an opinion on value. Looks to be a post-facelift SSS (Australian delivered), so likely a late 74 - 76 model - I've guessed 75. Some bad rust in the front guards, and no doubt it would be elsewhere too. Worth saving though, and a rare car in a very cool original colour. See the other 180B SSS coupes on the register, and check...

HOLDEN STATESMAN CAPRICE 1995. THIS VEHICLE IS BUILD NUMBER 1 OF 12 MANUFACTURED during 1995 to 1996. 215i kW ENGINE, 17"wheels. It has all the upgrades e.g 10 stack CD, glass electric sunroof, HSV premium audio system, premium brake package. The vehicle has been kept original.

1966 Studebaker Daytona Sport Sedan, found on Facebook Marketplace in February 2023. This has the Thunderbolt 283 VY. It does run according to the seller, but has a bad frame, (virtually no floors), but a lot of great parts. The seller noted that the dash is good, even seats look good, obviously need some elbow grease, door panels are decent as well. Located in Woodville Ohio. See the others on...

One of my favourite late model Saab's, the 9-3 Viggen. This one was advertised on carsales in January 2020, asking $17,500. Only a handful were imported to Australia and they are one of the best looking performance Saab's, particularly in coupe form and in the Blue.. A great modern collector car for someone interested in something a bit unusual. The car has around 220K on the clock, so nit's been...

Rare 2-door 6 cylinder Commander, spotted on Facebook Marketplace in January 2023. This one looks in really good condition, and has clearly been restored in recent years. The seller at the time simply noted: "No rust, like new, moving and no place for it". AT $7,500 USD in this condition, it's a hard price to argue with. See the original listing here.

People go mental for anything that's classic Skyline, and this modified example has bids over $50,000 AUD on Ebay Australia when spotted in January 2023. This particular car has been modified with a VG30ET engine - the 3L V6 from a 300ZX, with a Z31 box. Looks right at home in the engine bay, and mated to a 5-speed transmission, this thing would go a lot better than the original 240K engine (as...

It's been a solid year or so since I've seen one of these come up for sale. Asking $6,000 negotiable, this example was advertised on Facebook Marketplace in January 2023 and was described by the seller as a fairly solid example. The seller noted that the car has been in storage for over 10 years, with no bad rust in the body (only in the beaver panel). this one has the rally pack 5 speed manual to...

Unfortunately, this one is a statutory write off so cannot be registered - one less of these great cars on the road in Australia. It will surely make a great parts car, with lots of very expensive parts, so it will be interesting to see what it sells for (spotted for sale on Lloyds Auctions in January 2023). This is a very late example of the series 1 car, which had already adopted many of the...

Great LS project popped up on Facebook Marketplace recently, located Melbourne, Australia. Asking a very reaosnable $10,000, the car is a projectr with the typical late model Leyland rust, but it's all there, and it appears to have its original engine still fitted. Awesome project for someone who is looking to restore something rare to original specs. Everything is there, just needs a lot of TLC...

Only the second one added to Classic Register - this one a little rougher than the first example: These are now quite rare cars (or always have been in Australia) , beinhg the top performance model in the Astra range, and a great performance hatch of the early 00s.. Astra had already gone the Turbo route whereas many other makes had stuck with the NA 2.0l engines, meaning these little rockets were...

What a colour, and on Bruno Sacco's finest car. This 500 SL from 1992 was advertised on Facebook Marketplace in January 2023 asking $41,990. The R129 never really dropped much below $25K, and Covid has seen the average asking price push over $40 K, so it's not bad value, especially for a low km example like this. The car looks immaculate with just 157,000 km in its 30+ years. No doubt it would...

These have become somewhat a forgotten performance hatch of the early 00s, but I think they deserve some attention. The Astras were one of the best looking hatches of their era - certainly the best proportioned hatch of the time, and combined with a decent body kit, lowered, and a performance turbo engine, there's a lot to like about these 20-year old hot hatches.. This one came up on Facebook...
