YOU IDIOTS. Who gives two shits on how you think the near-million dollars should be spent.
OBVIOUSLY he has more than enough money and no financial limits, well to this extent anyway.

You all make stupid suggestions on how he should spent the money for which he could probably build another 10 of the same thing and still have money left over, but who gives a shit when a guy like that is probably wiping his ass with $100 bills.

So stop wasting comment space and just admire the car. She’s beautiful and if i had very deep pockets like him i wouldn’t care how overpriced the car is.

This car is awesome & it’s the best fast street legal Holden.
It is sad it wasn’t put into production, but this rich Chooka guy is so lucky. Is he just a normal Australian citizen with the money? He can drive it on the roads if he wants. If I am rich I wouldn’t mind buying if it is on sale again. You can download the 427C for NFS6 Hot Pursuit 2 game from http://www.nfs-planet.de

Values are based on personal tastes……….

Who pay big money for a GT-HO Phase III that was based on the same body as a taxi cab, and lost to the XU-1 at Bathurst ?

Answer: A ford fan with lots of money.

I say good on ya Chooka, it will go nicely with your Nations Cup 427 winning Monaro.

The less numbers made of a car the rarer it is , in this case its 2, the figures mean nothing you could build your own supercar for a lot less money but it has no history so even if you spent 200 grand you will probably get 50 grand for it, just the way it works, if you go by figures the power rating of the 700 grand phase 3 that is the next expensive car is no more impressive than a toyota aurion and it had no brakes and yet they are in hot demand

This is a bit of apples and oranges – though both the HO and the 427 are muscle cars this was a very limited run concept, and the HO was an actual production car. You’d be better comparing the 427 with Bill Bourke’s XW Cobrajet big block Falcon.
Good on chooka for his purchase – even as a Ford fan I was drooling over this thing when Holden brought it out. On a side note it’s a shame Holden didn’t take the Nations Cup Monaros to Europe for a fair 24-hour fight…

Good luck Chooka if you have it why not spend it on what ever you want, who really cares what anyone thinks. It would be a nice ride to take to a track day, if you are into your monaro\’s.

Look at you all. You’re as mad as all hell just because a Holden has usurped your beloved GTHO Phase III as the sure-fire most valuable Aussie car ever sold.

Like I said earlier, jealousy is not a good look. Go to Bunnings and let this bloke enjoy his purchase.

why the hell would u pay that much for a holden

rather buy a GT ford :)

holdens are a waste of money and re sale value is up to crap with any car……… what a waste!

anthony C,
yep as far as cars go they are a good investment, but as an investment i doubt it would be.
unless it increases $72,000 a year than he would be better sticking the money in the bank and not having to pay the massive insurance premium on it

in 20yrs time, the thing would have to be worth 2.5 mill otherwise i say its not an investment

See the speedomoter. That idea was carried onto the Coupe60 concept.

you would be nuts to actually use this car. you could build thsi car for cheaper….. but as an investment its not a bad idea.

i mean.. take the veyron.. its majestic as they come… its never gona go down in value.. a better investment than shares if u ask me.

so the rich bogan who bought this car will prob make cash on it in 20 years time

Actualy, a veyron cost more than $2 mill.

HSV Senator,
im pretty sure a phase 111 has reached 800,000.
there are a few that hit the auction from time to time and this one was in top nick. i cant remember exactlly but im sure it went for 800,000.
also dont forget the guy who was offered well over 1 mill for his Phase 1111 falcon, of which i believe there are only 3 left in existence and 2 of which are the only ones left in Australia.
was the guy who got the offer a dentist? i think he is from memory.

Phill,
it certainly did.
i still to this day cant understand how the fully race prepared 427 monaro was allowed to enter and ruin the series.
i clearly remember when john bowe ran a stock as a rock mustang, and they had to keep slowing it up because it was wiping the floor. bowe eventually pulled from the series as he thought it pointless to compete with the restrictions placed on him.
and then they brought in the 427’s????????
