    Yes it is a shame but if it was me buying it i'd rather the buckets, auto and t-bar. Dash is easy to fit and wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't original unlike the rest. I reckon $ are OK. No-one spends in January! Funny thing is people would fight for this as a roughy at $3500, yet would probably have to spend $4k just to put it on the road! And it'll still be rough!

    January has been surprising. I thought it'd be quiet but cars asking reasonable $$ are selling over here. the cheapies are walking.

    Agreed Glacier. People vote with their wallets. imo most model WB's will never come within cooeee of their older brother HZ

    Can't say never..., they were worth 3 times as much as a hz until about ten years ago. It's only sandman a that are worth more now.

    I would pay around $1000 for a mint GTS Dash, if had one it wouldn't be far from it. Maybe he had a spare? :LOL:

    All i'm getting at is if I wanted a nice HZ or WB ute, i'd rather pay $10k for that than $5k for one with rust that has been rebuilt 5 times, bogged, mixmatch of bits and pieces etc. Being a V8 auto it'd b a much better car for everyday use.

    i reckon the price is close, but the auction should have started @ $6000.00 and then he may have got maybe $9k its very original which is hard to find these days. they are not making any more.
    would look nice parked next to my 4 speed wb, nearly a matching pair.
