Comments from the seller

Genuine VL Calais Turbo LW5 Plated (Nov 86) - Custom Purple Paint Job (original colour was white gold 2G049 - Auto (Stock VL transmission) *** Upgrades include *** - Garrett 35/40 Turbo - Haltech Elite 2500 ECU - Front mount Intercooler - External Wastegate + Screamer pipe - 044 Fuel Pump upgrade - ARP studs - Valve springs -MLS Head Gasket - Bosch injector upgrade (I believe 1000cc) - Upgraded head gasket - Lowered suspension - K-Mac adjustable strut mounts - 3 inch exhaust - HDT 20 Inch MOMO stars - Power windows working/ (Eyelid headlights not working) - Pioneer headunit/JBL speakers Presents well for its age and certaintly a head turner but has its blemishes; surface scratch on boot and cracked moulding on Front LH bumper (in process of getting this fixed), none of which detract from the overall appeal of the car. Mechanically sound and recently serviced. Interior is in excellent condtion with no tears or rips. A genuine honest example of a classic Holden and a joy to drive on weekends. Has much more potential for further upgrades or leave as and enjoy as a weekend cruiser. Driven only on the odd occasion, owned for 16 years and truly a reluctant sale. Please no Swaps or low ball offers. Serious buyers and enquiries.
