Used V8s and V10s galore: Classifieds of the Week

Need more cylinders in your life?

Looking to spend between $90K and $1.2million? Then step right up to this week’s selection of cars we found for sale.

1975 Holden Torana LH SLR 5000 - $89,000

Any Torana should be enough to get most Aussies excited, but a restored-condition SLR 5000 is something else.

For $89,000, or less if you’re a keen negotiator, you could drive home in a V8-powered Aussie classic.

Be sure to find out for yourself how genuine the car is, as some replicas can be pretty convincing.

2012 Lexus LFA - $1,200,000

A rare Australian-delivered LFA has arrived at Duttons Garage, Melbourne. With only one previous owner, the 3260km example is build-numbered 232 out of 500 worldwide.

But the exclusivity will cost you. $1.2m to be exact. But for that, you get a 412kW/480Nm V10 capable of a 3.7s sprint to 100km/h, as well as the right to say you own one. That’s gotta be worth at least a few hundred thousand, right?

2014 Dodge Viper GTS - $285,000

Another V10, but this time from the States. The Dodge Viper, or “Daytona” Viper, as seller Crossover Car Conversions is calling it, is a now-discontinued 8.4-litre V10 monster, which went on a track-crushing spree around the world.

481kW and 814Nm should be enough to keep you happy, but you’ll be shelling out $285,000 for the privilege.

2010 Jaguar XKR - $89,990

If you’re feeling a little more restrained, a British V8 might do the trick. Though as far as Jags go, an XKR isn’t exactly retrained.

This 75^th Anniversary Edition is sitting in the Lorbek showroom in Port Melbourne, wearing an $89,990 price tag and a very tidy exterior.

But the 5.0-litre Jag V8 is the main event, with a supercharger helping extract 375kW and 625Nm. The odo reads 81,045km, so it’s been enjoyed, but a full service history from Jaguar should prove it’s been cared for.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser - $175,000

Slowing things down is our last pick, a LHD Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser from the US. A 6.3-litre V8 lives under the bonnet providing a soothing soundtrack for you to roll along in dictator-spec luxury.

We’re not kidding, M-B 600s has chauffeured the likes of Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, and a few Kims. North Korean, not Kardashian.

On the plus-side, Elvis, Coco Chanel, Rowan Atkinson and Jack Nicholson are also among the list of owners, so it’s not all bad.

This one’s asking for $175,000, and is currently in Victoria.
