Monaros, Toranas, Commodores all cars that have a high demand. How many of these cars are left that are truely pedigree not many. Most out there are cars that have bits and pieces from all different cars and that is fine. Why knock someone who wants to build a GTS replica or a Brocky replica or a A9X. They build thses cars in most cases to keep not to sell so why is it a problem if a bloke wants put tags on his cars to finish it off its his decision and his money. Its like buying a dog if the dog is not registered with papers but they say its a pedigree would you have check it out before you bought it of course you would. So why doesnt the same principle apply with cars if they cant provide evidence to prove its a geniune GTS or Brock or Torry then check over it. Dont be one of these whingers that complain that you got ripped off after you bought it. I have no problems with people changing the appearance of their car I have a problem if they are doing to rip people off but in most cases your average joe just wants a slice of the pie to say look at my GTS ok its not genuine but who cares let people enjoy their cars. At the end of the day a monaro is a monaro the shape doesnt change just the price.
Genuine GTS, XU-1, Brock, A9X are a dying breed and should be treasured and deserve to pull top dollar. I think people have got to caught up in worrying about the ID of the car and not the essence of the car. Look at it like this a pure pedigree GTS price tag $150,000 plus, a mock GTS say around $60,000 to $80,000 which gives alot more people hope of owning one. C'mon people if you go and buy a GTS for 80,000 the chances of it being genuine are pretty slim but you will still enjoy it. Why let these carrs die off let them live on its not going to affect the price tag of the genuine ones if you have one and can prove its geniune then your a lucky boy if you want one but cant afford $150,000 go out buy a coupe or 2 door torry put all the parts on it that will make it a GTS ot XU-1 and enjoy !!!!. And all you whingers out there who disagree practice what you preach and dont replace that fuel tank or floor section or tail lights or guards from another car what is the difference from swapping tags those parts dont belong to that car !!!!!!!. And yes I know what your going to say its illegal to change the ID of your car but I think it is such a grey area because ID tags on some cars are not compliance.

pass the popcorn ...

yes sonny, its an HQ ute

ID Tags on a Brock Commodore ARE it's identity, especially the 2 tags that are not required for rego, so it is a big deal for them.

Without these 'not compliance' tags, a Brock is worthless, and is lucky to get replica money.

That is no different to many other Holdens, but the essence of what he/she is saying makes sense plus the point that a mock up is worth heaps less than a genuine car is raised. I dont agree with changing ID plates to turn something into something its not,

i agree too ..this is just cars ,if i see a good mockup i still like it
and as lots if people have said ..the body is a spare part too!..if you took all the spare parts off the real ones ,,there wouldnt be much left to look at ..so do what is in your con

I'd agree that a rebody is OK because it does not increase the number of a type of car, but my concern is these false tags. If there are suddenly 1000's of GTS350's with tags around the real thing will be worth less, or buyers will certainly be more suspi

yer i agree its byer beware i have sold three fakers in the last 2 years witch was 2 hk 81837s and one hg 81837. first hk i had the tags already and put em on a sh!tter 80337 i didnt say anything about the tags until the guy wanted to know the numbers. of

sorry i should have also mentioned I am Matt_Victoria who is wrecking the HK GTS 327 in the buy/sell forum but I thought it best to post anonymously so I could call people tossers. Anyway yeah I am selling my tags for offers over $15000
