Up for sale is my 1983 Holden VH Commodore. It’s a very recently finished build and has only been on the street a handful of times.

The car was built to be driven to the drag strip, raced and driven home. It was purpose built to handle big power.

As the car is on club rego, it will be sold unregistered. I can organise a RWC for the right price if the car is going on club rego again.

The exterior paint lets the car down but all of the panels are straight and ready to suit a re-spray. This is an expression of interest. I am in no rush to sell the car and will only let it go for the right price and buyer.

Before you send a message about test drives, anyone wanting to inspect the car will need to provide a drivers licence before viewing and will need to show proof of funds before test drives.

Serious offers will be welcomed.
