I would say that it depends on condition and rust and what you are prepared to pay for it............they are a great vehicle and you can convert it to an Isuzu if you want to - this will make it a fantastic vehicle. But do your checks first and ascertain what condition it is in and what needs to be repaired.......................Brian

check ebay there is normally a few there just to get a price range for them there is one on there at the moment that has an isuzu engine.

When I was looking V8s went for between 1.5 to 5. Rust, condition of engine and gearbox seemed to be the difference.

Around that time they went to 5 speed, not as good a gearbox. I've got 2 x85 Counties, one I bought no reg, lots of rust- now fixed- for an initial $3500, but its an Isuzu. I would have dropped to $1200- $1500 for a V8 in that condition.
For one with no rust, about $3500 is reasonable.

Thanks for your help everyone, I have a good idea of what to pay now.
