Seller's Notes

This VL-generation Holden Commodore is an exciting and extensively modified tribute to the iconic SS Group A model. It is powered by a modified 5.7-litre LS V8, driving the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. First registered in 1988, this vehicle is currently located in Australia, though it is currently unregistered. Build year: 1988 This VL-era Commodore is finished in a timeless shade of white, with a grey vinyl and cloth-trimmed interior, featuring complementary dark grey carpets. It rides on a set of 20-inch five-spoke alloy wheels finished in silver with polished lips and HDT centre caps, fitted with Kapsen Rassurer tyres. Equipment now includes a Berlina specification, remote locking, a reversing camera, a remote power cut-off, a fire extinguisher and blanket, and an upgraded double-DIN media system and speakers. The vehicle has been extensively customised, featuring an LS1 V8 engine, a high-lift intake manifold, an aluminium radiator, AeroFlow catch cans with breathers, an AeroFlow expansion tank, braided oil lines, an AeroFlow fuel cell, an Aeromotive fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator, braided fuel lines, a custom exhaust system, Viking Performance coilover suspension, an SS Group A-style bodykit, a Turbo 400 transmission, a shortened differential, four-link rear suspension, tunnel ram, a reverse pattern pistol shifter, a custom instrument cluster with Auto Meter Pro-Comp Ultra Light gauges, push-button start, line lock, and smoothed bodywork. Accompanied by engineering documentation for past registration and two key remotes. One ignition key is included. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the cabin has been reupholstered, and there is a dent in the bonnet and a crack in the paint on the roof. The seller states that in February 2026, at around an indicated 136,200 km, remote locking, a reverse camera, a remote power cut-off and a fire extinguisher and blanket were fitted; the window washer, horn, stereo and speakers were replaced, and a reverse light switch was fitted to the shifter and thermostat switches were fitted to the engine and transmission. A hydraulic handbrake was also fitted but is not yet plumbed. The VL-generation Holden Commodore, especially in SS Group A guise, remains a highly sought-after Australian performance icon, celebrated for its motorsport heritage and potent V8 power. This example is a tribute build, featuring a powerful LS1 engine conversion, a robust Turbo 400 transmission, and a host of custom modifications that enhance its performance and aesthetic. Ready to excite its next owner, this build promises a thrilling and distinctive driving experience, whether on the road or at car shows.
