1983 Holden Commodore VH SL/E review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best Commodore invented"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
LPG caused 2 burnt out valves and the block to die.
Boot release button has stopped working.
General comments?
This car is the best Commodore ever built.
The power is pretty good and the interior and two tone paint caps it off.
Once I got the motor reconditioned and bored out it had a tremendous amount of power.
BE WARNED - If you put LPG on this car be prepared to recondition the motor.
