This VK-generation Holden Commodore is a practical yet potent modern classic sedan, which has been transformed into a faithful SS Group A ‘Blue Meanie’ tribute and benefits from a recent full overhaul. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 304-cubic inch (4.9-litre) V8, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This example was manufactured in November 1984, and has been with the seller for five years. This VK-era Commodore is understood to have started life as a ‘BT1’ Australian police cruiser, before it was transformed into an SS Group A ‘Blue Meanie’ tribute around 20 years ago. The odometer shows 223,417 Kms from new. This Commodore is now presented in a bold shade of blue with replica ‘SS’, ‘SS Group A Peter Brock’ and ‘1st Bathurst ‘82 ‘83 ‘84’ decals, over a cerulean part vinyl and cloth-trimmed interior, featuring blue and white herringbone cloth inserts on the seats and door cards. It rides on a set of 15-inch HDT Group A ‘Aero’ alloy wheels, fitted with Bridgestone Turanza tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, a heated rear screen, and an analogue clock. This example has been fitted with a full SS Group A replica body kit, including the front chin spoiler, front grille, bumpers and a rear spoiler, as well as Bilstein suspension, a genuine Scheel interior, an Exedy clutch, a Momo HDT ‘Peter Brock’ steering wheel, a stainless-steel exhaust system, a Kenwood CD stereo and speakers, and an Aeroflow air filter housing. The car comes with all the invoices for the restoration. One ignition key is included in the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a full respray was carried out around three years ago, there are now some minor chips and scratches around the car, and the interior has been fully overhauled. While the car has air conditioning, it is not currently connected. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted on 21 March 2024, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This Commodore’s most recent maintenance was carried out in March 2023 at 222,416 Kms, but the seller has not stated what work was carried out. Notable restorative maintenance includes the engine being fully serviced, all new Bilstein suspension fitted, new king springs all-around, the headlights, tail lights and light covers replaced, a new windscreen and rear screen, all new rubbers inside and out, the seat belts replaced, a genuine Scheel interior fitted, a new brass and copper radiator installed, a new clutch fan, water pump and hoses, Exedy clutch and an Aussie four-speed ‘M21’ gearbox, as well as new electric and mechanical fuel pumps, the stainless-steel exhaust system fitted, new power steering lines, the replica Group A bodykit installed, all new tyres fitted to genuine HDT alloy wheels, the carburettor rebuilt by Xtreme Fuel Systems, and a Kenwood CD stereo and speakers fitted. This VK-generation Holden Commodore is an engaging modern classic sedan, which has been transformed into a faithful SS Group A ‘Blue Meanie’ tribute and benefits from a recent full overhaul. Presented with an iconic colour scheme, instantly recognisable styling, and boasting a practical cabin, alongside a potent V8 engine coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox, it would make an excellent addition to any marque enthusiast’s collection, and an exciting and head-turning companion for weekend drives, fair-weather cruising, and classic car show visits alike.
