Longroof muscle
For some of us, that Holden and its HSV variants no longer exist is both a loss and a mystery. Why on earth did it happen, just as the product was hitting extraordinary heights in terms of ability and bang for your buck?
We’ve seen some signs of a collectible market for late high-end Holdens and select HSVs, though there is still good buying out there.
Since no more are being made, we also suspect a good one will stand a good chance of holding its value.
One of the high points of the later series was this, the 2011 R8 line-up, which included this, the wagon.
Only a modest number of the long roofs would have been sold, and this car was build just before we saw wagons experience a real revival of interest among enthusiasts.
Basics of the driveline include a tweaked 6.2lt LS2 V8 matched to a six-speed manual transmission.
The seller says the car is in good shape and it’s being offered out of Melbourne at $69,750.
