Hi guys

As you know I am after a L34, SLR5000, A9X. I have found this L34 and was wondering what you think of the car, the fellow says that the car is original except for the dissy, what do you think about the black engine bay.
The car has not been registered for atleast 2 years but is running, what do you think it is worth, any advise would be very appreciated before i go ahead and buy it.

Cheers

ricko

Its been reshelled ie-tags swapped so depends on what you think L34 gear is worth on a non L34 shell, its not to bad condition but what's your view on reshelled cars? I know every1 on here has their opinion but its your money at the end of the day

i just feel that if you are going to pay good money for a Torana then you might as well get an original all over

this car has been on Australian Muscle Cars twice and was advertised as being one of 4 ordered by Bob Jane. It was also advertised as having the original Repco dizzy back then

boys be careful saying it has been reshelled without sure proof as you may leave yourselves open to litigation. Better to say may have been then state it has.. my 2 cents

GML-31 it was quoted as being professionally rebodied in one of the Australian Muscle Car advertisments, just to let you know.

RICKO - i remember seeing these on ebay about 1.5 to 2yrs ago i think. I remember that only because my L34 is further up on the sold list and it has been about 1yr since i purchased it.

This is my L34 - took her for a run this morning, love the sound of the engine!

All the best in your search in finding a genuine L34, they are very hard to come by these days. If you need any help let me know

Jero, very nice car you've got there. I remember looking at that when it was for sale and wishing I had the money.
