Best I can do today is this crappy compilation pic with the better one (top left) a very straight & original one-owner CH coupe in that rare candy colour - the pic doesn't do it justice. Inside was black with the brocade cloth still in exceptional condition. I bought it off a old lady (husband recently died) with an average motor for only $1250, very soft and quiet to drive with 90mph in 2nd. The other coupe in russet metallic for $850 was quite good, I lent it to a 'friend' who stacked it within 200 yards. The huge boots of these coupes would make for a great LPG conversion

It just goes to show the risks of late-night posting, as I completely forgot about my fourth VG Pacer - the best one too, with 340 4speed! About $3500 iirc but didn't own it long and upsold for profit soon after. I had all cars in this pic except the little red Alfasud. The P76 was $500 V8 4speed ex-police and I've written about my VK Group A previously. That red CJ (also a one-owner @ $2250) was same colour as the VJ wagon, I fitted widened sportswheels, dual exhaust etc with eventually a thermoquad carby on LPG - a tidy unit imo. That's me back in the day with the linamint LC XU-1, a tidy & super original car the seller insisted had raced in the 1970 Bathurst 500 (no confirmation, although it did find rollcage evidence to correlate its vintage/rare Rainsford harness belts). I sold this really neat XU1 complete with non-original engine # (but still X-2 block with tri-carb) in the late '80s for a pathetic $2200

(sorry for off topic blab-boosting, although btw there's an excellent net-video of VH Pacer I can re-find if anyone is interested .. back to 380 4cyls!)
