Price history
Today $68,000 · modelled median at five years $68,656
Solid line: the value this library has carriedDashed from 2026: modelled · even money $60,176 to $76,100
The green band is the even-money range and the one to plan on: half of outcomes land inside it. The pale band behind it bounds eight in ten ($52,535 to $82,809). The path is this model's own: it starts along the momentum of its recorded history and bends toward its projected median as the horizon lengthens, so no two cars share a future curve.
The verdict
A defensible case with reservations. Scores 54/100, ranking 47 of 94 in the $30k to $100k band. Ownership economics is the strongest input, risk resilience the weakest.
Running it costs about $5,450 a year (8.0% of value), which is what the economics score measures. All in, including the projected value change, it is $6,163 a year.
The model's five year median is $68,656, a +1.0% move, with the tenth percentile at $52,535.

No external evidence. A modelled estimate whose structure is more useful than its level.
Scored against every recent Australian sale this library holds, half its values land within 11.2 per cent of the price paid and the rest miss by more, in either direction. Projections are therefore damped toward flat in proportion to how little is known, and the plausible band is never narrower than the error the model is known to make.

2 completed Australian sales of 4 rows. Rows marked asking, no sale, or context are shown for honesty but do not count toward the evidence grade: an ask is not a transaction, a pass-in is a refusal, and a provenance or overseas result does not price the ordinary local car. The badge on every row is computed by the same rule as the grade, so the two cannot drift apart.

Bought at
No forecast is used to compute the hurdle. It is the purchase, the duty, any premium and 5 years of running cost, grossed up for the cost of selling and spread back over the hold. The projection it is measured against is the weakest number in this product and is drawn that way in the chart above. Transport, finance and any restoration spend sit outside it.

Five-year cost of ownership
Value change alone: +$656 across five years.
Running costs over the same period: $27,250.
Duty and expected selling costs: $4,220.
Net cost of five years of ownership: $30,815, or $6,163 a year.
The projected value rise offsets part of the running cost. It does not make the car free to own.
The case for and against
The case for
A genuinely limited local run of around 6,000 RHD-converted cars gives it real scarcity within the muscle coupe segment. The LT1 V8 has a strong following and values have stabilised after the initial post-launch depreciation.
The case against
Fuel and running costs sit above four-cylinder rivals, and RHD conversion quality can vary between examples, making a pre-purchase inspection important. It remains a niche pick against better-known Australian V8 alternatives.

Two Australian SS results and both are delivery-distance cars
$95,000 at 11,242km in March 2022 and $87,500 at 17,589km in May 2024. They cannot be extended to the 90,000 kilometres this record expects without extrapolating 75,000 kilometres past the furthest data point, so the value is unchanged and should be treated as unsupported at that distance.

The ZL1 is a different market
And is held here as context only: $137,500 at 3,330km in March 2026, $119,500 at 24,342km in April 2025 and $91,500 at 19,449km in April 2023 - a rising line while the SS results fall. A 1,947-kilometre manual 2SS failed to sell in May 2026. SOURCING: aggregator-surfaced results, unconfirmed against the auction house, the weakest evidence grade here.
