49999km? Old guy could not bare to put 50k on it.
Such amazing condition except for the air-con controls...it's like he sat in the garage turning the aircon on and off using sandpaper. https://www.grays.com/lot/0001-60012...utomatic-sedan Funny how massive the tyre sidewall is by today's standards. |

I might be wrong but I am certain that the first time this Caprice was listed it only had the first 33 photos showing the car from lots of angles, then shots of the service history, then the pic of owner's manual and keys...I am sure pics 34-43 showing the rust etc were not in the original listing, but if wayback machine shows otherwise I will happily retract. https://www.grays.com/lot/0001-10053...utomatic-sedan Anyone that watches the Grays stuff though will know that sequence of photos is out of whack to their norm...that pic 33 showing owner's manual and keys is usually the last pic in their listing, or last photo before a video walk-around if there is a video - photos 34+ look to have been added in the later listing.

It’s an AU, cowl rust and lack of pollen filter… Plus you’d want to know if it’s had a later front end (AU2-BF1 type) fitted.
Would be surprised if it wouldn’t make low nines or high eights per hundred on steady cruise. |

Over the years I’ve had a few 6 cylinder Fairlanes and an AU3 VCT manual XR6 Ute. All returned high 8s on the highway. Have read the 5.0s better the VCT in fuel consumption but I don’t know if that’s an exaggeration or not. |

AU series 1 had slightly different lower wishbones, struts, smaller brakes on different hubs.

1984 XE ESP (Originally 6 cylinder auto) with retro fitted 351, manual gearbox and colour change sold at Gray’s last night for 52k plus 7.5% buyers fee.
Is that good value in 2024? Seems a little high for me!
