1980 Holden WB Series Panel Van - Lime Green - 209,509km - 5.7L V8 Automatic, Custom Engine Swap
Overview
This 1980 Holden WB Series Panel Van represents a fascinating chapter in Australian automotive history, now elevated by a significant modern engine upgrade. The WB Series was Holden's workhorse commercial offering throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, built tough for Australian conditions and prized today by enthusiasts and collectors seeking authentic period vehicles with genuine character. This particular example has been transformed with a 5.7-litre V8 engine swap, converting it from its original specification into a genuinely capable performance machine while retaining its classic Holden styling.
Finished in striking lime green, the vendor advises the vehicle has been fully repainted within the last 12 months and, since completion of the repaint, has only been driven to the auction warehouse. The vendor also advises the interior has been completely reupholstered within the last 12 months, presenting with a fresh custom finish. The engine bay houses a 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V8 paired with an M40 automatic transmission, providing substantially increased performance while maintaining the classic appeal of the WB Panel Van. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle to satisfy themselves as to its overall cosmetic and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
