1987 Holden Calais VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car for those lads who don't want to spent heaps to get power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking rear seal in the auto gearbox.
Struts a bit like a boat ride.
General comments?
The car performs great and is a reliable tow vehicle.
Has ample power and leaves most small block V8's off the line.
