1983 Holden Commodore SL/E review from Australia and New Zealand
"It's a beast man"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator failed on me had to get a new one.
Thermo housing rusted due to the old owner using tap water.
General comments?
This car is a BEAST and it is a dream to drive.
The car handles like a dream and the 4.2 is the best motor ever made.
The interior is excellent and nothing has ever gone wrong with the wiring on the inside and out.
