Looks like high quality workmanship.

But puzzling that’s it’s a csi converted to carbs

It happened.
My Csi was converted to carbs with an an automatic.

Nice car. Non-factory colour I assume.
Think it's too cheap if had all the work claimed to a high standard.

I agree, it’s probably on the lower side of what I would think it’s worth with the work stated. Probably why it’s only taken a day to be put on hold for someone to view I’m assuming.
Seller should definitely hold out for full asking price in my opinion

not a csi ...says in the blurb that started life as auto

Not sure why it has a csi badge on the back then

Sold within 24 hours !

If they got 125k for it then that's a new top price for a CS in Aus as far as I know.
Was too cheap.

Nearly 70k GBP..... great price for A 3.0 CS auto converted to a manual to look like a csi !!!

Sale of this car, at that price , has pushed the values up for the other models....happy xmas

We also just had a barn-find in Aus sell at auction in November for A$75K including buyers fee. Looks good in the photo, but having inspected, needs easily another $100k to restore (although cheaper no doubt if a DIY resto). It was a beautiful spec - white on red. All original and very rare being an Australian delivered and compliance plated E9. Also a matching numbers car.

Prices are very strong in Australia for many classics lately.

Throw in the GST, freight and fees and that's around 90k for a project.
Even if you do almost all the work yourself it's still a minimum 50K restoration if everything goes to plan (it never actually does though) - ask me how I know..
You would be almost better off buying the pulled down CSi on Gumtree for 55k.

*For those overseas Gumtree is like Craigs List. We don't actually hang things out of trees to sell them.

I hope Shannons are watching these prices...................they are way out of whack with their valuations.
