Final HSV GTSR hits the market
Last of 600 high-output HSV utes leads no fewer than 26 Maloo GTSRs priced from $195K on carsalesUsed car prices appear to know no bounds at the moment, and few of them are as high as those being asked for discontinued homegrown V8 muscle.
Take this MY17 Holden Special Vehicles Maloo GTSR manual, for example, which is now listed at carsales for a cool $749,998.
It’s just one of 26 HSV Maloo GTSR utes currently available at carsales, with prices starting at $195K.
However, this one is pretty special – even if it’s not as rare as the one-off HSV Maloo GTSR W1 that sold at auction in January for a record $1.05 million.
According to its owner – Gardner Autos in Cannington, Western Australia – this is the last of 600 Maloo GTSR utes ever produced by HSV and it comes with an official certificate of authenticity and photos of it coming off the Clayton production line.
Even better, it has only 21km on the clock after being delivered to the dealership in 2017, and it’s never been pre-delivered or registered, so it’s still covered in original stickers and plastic wrap from the factory – and even comes with the optional car cover.
Whether someone pays more than seven times the new price of this Maloo GTSR in 2017 ($96,990 plus ORCs) remains to be seen, but there’s no doubting its pedigree as the most powerful production ute ever made in Australia.
And whoever buys the supercharged rear-drive hay-hauler will certainly enjoy its ballistic 435kW/740Nm 6.2-litre V8 and six-speed manual transmission – a combination claimed to deliver 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.2 seconds and a 318km/h top speed.
But it begs the question: How much higher can prices of homegrown muscle cars go?
