1997 Holden Commodore VT SS Supercharged Sedan - Midnight Blue - 183,316km - 5.0L V8, Getrag 290 5-Speed Manual RWD
Supercharged manual VT SS in Midnight Blue. One of the most desirable Commodore performance variants of the era.
Overview
The VT Commodore SS Supercharged is a standout piece of late-1990s Australian performance history. This 1997 example carries the 5.0L V8 engine fitted with a Roots-type supercharger, driving through the Getrag 290 5-speed manual transmission to the rear axle. That combination, rear-wheel drive, forced induction, and a proper clutch pedal, is what sets this apart from the more common automatic variants. The car is finished in Midnight Blue (build plate paint code 8L63) and the Supercharged and V8 fender badges are original. The build plate confirms Getrag manual specification (MN4) and September 1997 production.
The exterior presents well for its age and mileage. The Midnight Blue paint holds excellent depth and gloss across all panels. Panel gaps are even throughout with no evidence of accident repair. The car rides on aftermarket 5-spoke alloy wheels with polished lips, fitted with low-profile performance tyres. The VT SS front bumper, side skirts, and rear spoiler are all present and intact. The rear carries dual exhaust tips and the Supercharged badging on the door sill is clearly original Holden factory specification.
Inside, the VT SS blue-patterned fabric seats with SS embroidery are in good usable condition with honest wear to the bolsters consistent with regular driving. The dark grey dash has a full-coverage dash mat fitted. The centre console houses a Sony aftermarket head unit and four aftermarket performance gauges. The Getrag 290 5-speed manual shifter is the correct short-throw small-knob presentation. The instrument cluster reads 183,316km. Vendor advises the engine number is VM654936.
The engine bay shows the 5.0L V8 with supercharger assembly prominently fitted, along with an aftermarket cold air intake system. The supercharger intercooling and belt-drive are clearly visible and the installation appears tidy and well executed.
