What's this 2017 SS worth (locked engine)

[goblin]

Look in front of the car, you'll see a full rear end on the ground. Rusty brake rotors caught my 👁

Blast !!! This ^^^. Beat me to it.
Plus the guy in the tshirt holds something that nicely looks like a silenced gun, but I doubt that's what it is given the little kid just next to it.

What are those emblems?

Holden.
The Australian variant of the SS is the Commodore I believe.

Thank you. I never knew that before. I thought it looked like a Peugeot emblem at first.

I see that disconnected plug under the hood

He has lawyers to pay! Probably blew the engine during a street takeover.

It ain't just a motor. That factory automatic can barely take the stock power and will still blow up if thrashed with a stock engine. But when thrashed with a supercharged engine that transmission is guaranteed smoked too so you're looking at an engine and transmission with this piece of junk.

Most I pay for it is 3 not 30. Going to cost a lot to put a good engine and transmission in this thing.

Yep, I agree completely. Thing was hammered on and the entire driveline is probably shot. Plus you have all the "mods" to deal with.

 

[Legs4Arms]

Yep.
Fill the trunk with dynamite and start over lol.

 

[daves87rs]

Junk.

Might be easier to light the drugs in the trunk……

If it is truly a Holden, then I doubt if it can be licensed in any state. It does not meet standards to be imported and licensed in the US.

Rebadges are a common mod for these.

I'm not really answering your question @GON, but I'd walk. The risk outweighs the rewards IMHO. There are too many unknowns and besides, friends don't let friends take on liabilities, among other things.

You got to know when to Holden - know when to fold ‘em - know when to walk away - know when to run

The Chevy SS is a rebadged Holden made in Australia imported by Chevy.

Left hand drive, this one. None of these was made in LHD under the Holden name.

Ahhh...the relabeled Mazda B-series truck of the 70's-80's. We had one as the department vehicle at my first job after graduating college.

Anyone else see the kid? I don't see any red flags though. I cant tell what the guy is holding.

Very hard to see, but once seen it allows one to " connect the dots".

Mentioned it in post #41. Doesn't it look like the guy's holding a silenced gun
Can't connect the dots further though. It is true I know little about alternative work paths and am oblivious to most things. My CRX back in Europe came with some sort of velours on the top of the door cards, and had little tiny dots eroded in the top of it. Took years for someone to notice them in 0.0001 second and tell me with a smile that the previous owner must have smoked pot a lot, as those are burns from the extremely small (vs cigarette) burning ashes that fall from it.
