Very nice - wonder how much...

Though 400bhp from ls1 plus supercharger is pretty lame!

I'd guess it'll be around 400bhp at the tyres though, not the crank - at least 100bhp more than a stock LS1, so not as lame as first thought.
That coolant level seems far to high!

Not worth it in my opinion, as an Aussie, never heard of a CAPÀ Holden. It’s just tune houses car with some weird badges.

Not worth what? How much is it?

Same as the silver one mentioned here:?

CAPA are just an aftermarket tuning/parts place.

It clearly has their basic blower kit, so presumably that's why someone is calling it that.

As the base kit, you'd never expect huge numbers.

Interesting it mentions some "NOVA" certificate, so sounds like it isn't even road registered in the UK. Sounds like a high risk purchase, for nothing really special. And their estimated auction prices seem somewhat optimistic.

It just a face lift omega with a bigger engine really.

I'd give £4k for it.

And a Lotus Carlton was just a Carlton with a bigger engine, look at what they sell for.

You can say similar about so many other 'special' cars, but we don't.

If it was exceptionally clean, fully road legal etc....surely £15-20k would be optimistically tops ?

I'm pretty sure Commodores shells are wider than Omegas

[vxr2010]

commodore shells are wider plus engine is offset to one side , i think it’s steering arm related , very difficult to price an unusual car , some one may pay a lot as they always wanted one , others not so who knows , i don’t think monaro or r8 prices have varied a lot again it’s about demand and what people will pay

The supercharger kits are £4000 new. I don’t think they’d accept your offer.

It is exceptionally clean. ,seen the mileage? Might have some stale fuel though

If it has been dry stored in a heated garage, then low mileage can be good. Doesn't mean the car would not need a good going over before driving it though.
Plus sorting road legalities

But it just isn't a particularly special car. Maybe on Oz it might be ?

[MarvinTPA]

Strange 'parked on a wall' marks on the front bumper, random electrical connector hanging out underneath. Defo a good doing over before it's going anywhere.

What a bloody waste of a good car.

Wondered when this might re-surface. Think there might be another one too.

I'm sure you are right. Mind you I'm not sure I have the ballocks big enough to own it.
