Description / Overview:
Formula Blue with the full Group A SS visual package - this is one of the most recognisable looks in Australian automotive history and this car carries it well. Fresh respray, white aero wheels, matching interior in the original blue herringbone, and a V8 that has had some recent attention. Presented for auction as a well-sorted, driver-quality example of a classic Australian performance sedan.
This car presents as an HDT SS Group A appearance package vehicle. Buyers should note that no HDT Special Vehicles build plate or certification documentation is present. This is a VK Commodore SS in factory Formula Blue wearing HDT Group A livery, and should be assessed and valued accordingly. The presentation is strong and the odometer figure of 82,311km is notably low for the age of the vehicle.
Engine has had recent work including a new carburettor, ignition components and new seatbelts. Custom exhaust and new suspension components fitted. An alloy radiator has also been installed. Inspection is recommended to verify all claimed mechanical work and assess underbody condition.
