A GTR and XU-1 are plated 2911. $8K for an original LC GTR sounds fine if it has a good shell. These cars are like HK Monaros - they are worth good money just because they are a 2 door. Add $ for a GTR (like a GTS). And take money

Same documents for 1970 LC XU-1 state 1030.58kg. _______________________________

Note that the only M21 ever fitted to an XU-1 was the one you refer to, which was homologated for the Bathurst 1973 cars. It was simply a V8 box with the XU-1 M20 input shaft used
