    Wow. I love the W427s, but I'll never own one. Probably never go in one. Congratulations mate. I couldn't imagine what it must feel like owning one of the most prolific Australian cars ever built.

    The HQ looks mint too.

    Yep, for cars with historical value. I can see a W427 at the local HSV dealer, no historical value in a car that I can see on the showroom floor.

    –adjective 1. producing offspring, young, fruit, etc., abundantly; highly fruitful: a prolific pear tree.
    2. producing in large quantities or with great frequency; highly productive: a prolific writer.
    3. profusely productive or fruitful (often fol. by in or of): a bequest prolific of litigations.
    4. characterized by abundant production: a prolific year for tomatoes

    Perhaps you meant scarce, rare?

    Not convinced that a W427 meets that criteria.

    Scientific value?
    Historical value?
    Artistic value?
    it dont have to be old to have historical valve..

    each to there own...

    Question Re: W427GOT1...took 20years but got 1.....

    I was at HSV clayton yesterday, & I noticed a new W427 in the reception/display area, and there was another black one outside in the parking area. Is black a rare colour in this model, or just one of the colours available?
    Cheers, Pickles.

    Why do you want your car stored in a museum? Am I missing something here?

    cheers..im the lucky 1 i guess to own them both..
    but always happy to share the interest with others...
    smiles..

    and to add
    the W427 project HSV carried out has made a mark in history.
    a bit of trivia, this week is when the project has come to an end.
    the last car was completed yesterday or today.
