>>28862457
Nobody is buying them, boomers just set an insane price tag and hold it until they either keel over or accept defeat and trade it at a dealer.

>>28862457
Its not that the car is expensive it is that the dollar is that devalued,
In 1973 6000aud could buy you 140 ounces of gold, worth about 1 million today.
So the car is worth about 1/5th the price it was new if we go by gold value which you should.

>>28862632
220000 dollars is still alot of money lol

>>28862633
Its 5 times less than the car cost brand new and that car is basically new with 4000km

>>28862635
>XB coupes were equivalent to 1.2 million dollars new

>>28862635
You're retarded.

im winning the XY from lmct

>>28862635
they were 7000 new, about 40k in todays money

>>28862642
go see how much gold 7k would buy you in 1973 because it is a lot more than 40k worth, you are dumb if you think our money is that valuable, 40k will buy you like 5 ounces of gold in 2026. Gold has never gone up in value, dolla4 has gone down.

>>28862675
yeah but the average wage currently is 1.2m so for 220k its 1/5 the cost when new

>>28862676
Not exactly how it works, no. Average wage now is about 100k and a car like that built today would cost around 110k. Other ones on CarSales are also around the 150k mark as well and that is a more accurate price than what the boomer OP wants.

>>28862677
Its not 100% original which is what boomers want so 80k is more realistic

>>28862675
Ackshually the base model GT was over 5k at the time.

That's fine to do, I'm talking about them being LED headlights, not the original halogens that came with the car. LED headlights and DRLs on a 70s car looks retarded, especially on a muscle car.

>>28863683
i like to think people were interested in the yellows because they're also sick of cheaply done led retrofits that blind them. but it's probably just because it's something different.

I've been pulled over (for speeding) a few times and I've seen other cops on the road who just look at me and keep going. I think they'll only bust your arse if your running blue or red on the front.

My argument will be that hi-vis lights are more visible than plain white lights so I'm safer with hi-vis lights.

Yeah that's a big no kek. I remember there was some fag in my city that had a Holden Caprice (the WN) and changed the parker lights to have a red bulb on one side and blue on the other. I can only imagine how big the ticket was.

I think they probably figured the lights on your bike were OEM since bikes do some strange shit sometimes and it fits in with yours. That and most people really don't care about bikes or their oddities.

>>28863808
imagine being penalised (in a penal colony) for having incorrect lights on your car.

ironically the front blinkers are white. even if they were orange, there's no way in hell they could ever be mistaken for them. look up selective yellow. it's a VERY distinct shade of yellow. the closest photo i could find from a quick search is probably this one, it's very similar to the right side in pic related, but photos really don't do it justice, when you see it in person you'll know there's no way to get the two mixed up.

Orange marker lights on cars isn't that unusual either, a lot of Euro cars from the 90s and 2000s had small amber markers before the standard white DRLs replaced markers. They also remained common on US cars from the 60s will into the 2010s.

Sighting lights are different to your headlights because your headlights are right next to your indicators on the corner of the car.

I used to work for a pretty big luxury car brand for a while and they didn't sell cars in NT at all, every owner in NT would buy their car from Queensland and take it back to NT. The big issue also became that to get warranty work done at the dealer, they'd have to drive it back to QLD themselves as we had no official support in NT.

There's also a lot of regular shopping brands that don't operate in NT either, a lot of businesses just don't consider the investment to be worthwhile.
