Price history

Today $900,000 · modelled median at five years $999,766
Solid line: the value this library has carriedDashed from 2026: modelled · even money $772,910 to $1,377,859
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 ($568,481 to $1,718,574). 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

Strong within its price band. Scores 73/100, ranking 4 of 104 in the over $100k band. Scarcity is the strongest input, liquidity the weakest.
Running it costs about $19,000 a year (2.1% of value), which is what the economics score measures. All in, including the projected value change, it is $9,847 a year.
The model's five year median is $999,766, a +11.1% move, with the tenth percentile at $568,481.
Value calibrated to a thin record. Treat the level as provisional.

At least one recorded transaction plus a source. Direction is sound, the exact level less so.
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.

1 completed Australian sale of 1 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.

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.

The case for and against

The case for

One of four, the final and most extreme HSV, and it held the Australian road-car auction record at $1.05 million. The Maloo body is the shape the brand is remembered for.

The case against

The $1.05m result was set at the absolute top of the 2021 market and has not been retested since. With six cars there is no price discovery, and the scarcity pitch rests on being one of four when two more were completed afterwards without HSV sanction, and the standard W1 sedan has since fallen from $750,000 to roughly $350,000.

At least one recorded transaction plus a source. Direction is sound, the exact level less so.

Four were built and sanctioned by HSV, engineered by Walkinshaw Performance after local manufacturing ended - but two further examples were completed afterwards without HSV sanction, so six exist rather than four. Any car advertised as one of four should be checked against that. $1.05m at auction January 2021, which held the Australian road-car record until the GT-HO Phase III took it the following month. Built A NOTE ON THE SHAPE OF THIS RECORD'S HISTORY, ADDED WHEN THE VS GTS-R ENTRY WAS REBUILT. There is one sale here - $1,050,000 in January 2021 - and the value line used to descend from it in even steps through 2023 and 2025 to $900,000, which looked like measurement and was not. Those intermediate points are now flat, because nothing traded in them. The step down to today is a judgement that the 2021 peak has softened, and it is the only judgement in the line rather than three of them dressed up as data. With four cars sanctioned and two more completed afterwards, this record will probably never have a second public result to check it against.
