Mitch, the auction was held today - Monday - and the HRT427 was passed in at $295,000, but in another thread REDA9X said it got sold, so hopefully RED adds a reply with what it sold for.

Hi. mj411...long story......back in the day before this type of forum/info was available.....
Car was LX 5litre, factory Tuxedo, factory air, factory houndstooth? insert seats etc etc or so it presented............only prob was later on it was determined to APPEAR to be a LX SS front 1/2 + sedan back 1/2 stuck together after an unknown drama......doh...stil loved it though.......then it was hit by a DUI ( as per these pics)...and rear 1/2 was salvaged and grafted onto an other LX front 1/2 ( by insurance co. who didnt want to write it off!)..poor old thing didnt know what it was by the time it was over...ha ha .
Thus...to answer your question...not sure.....everyone who looked at it back in the time when I first got it ( 2nd hand) couldnt see how the SS front / sedan rear job was done..too neat to see any joins etc...thus I guess it could have always been a ADR plate balls up at holdens where it was stamped "LX ' Coupe', instead of 'sedan'...but unlikely.
It did have correct Tuxedo paint code..so it was either a nice Black SS that was crashed and had a sedan arse grafted on, or a Black sedan that had a SS front grafted on. Only ever had doco with the chassis number on it, which I posted on here some time back, with no takers on any info.
Most of that is from my old memory...so apoligise if its hard to follow... Col

p.s. some guys who did work for Parramatta Rd dealers may have more info??....
