1979 Holden Commodore SL/E review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great performance for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake booster - easy fix.
Spark plug failure - replaced.
Needs tuning often if you want peak performance.
General comments?
Great car if you want to spend a little extra and do it up, you would have a beast in your mitts.
Look for already done up ones, for you can get a good one like mine for under 5500.
Rust and paint jobs are a problem, but a respray will fix that.
Put a 2.5" exhaust on the car and you'll have a very loud sounding car to show off.
