1985 Holden Commodore VK review from Australia and New Zealand
"It was raced by the one and only Peter Brock"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The carbretter floods due to pressure build up in tank.
Ignition contacts melted.
Front seal replaced 2 times.
Noisy differental.
General comments?
Goes hard and handles well.
A few problems, but what do you expect for its age?
I can work on it myself, try doing the same on a later model.
It's the last of the real Holdens before they went to a Nissan motor.
