1979 Holden Commodore VB review from Australia and New Zealand
"A pretty cheap buy, but it has had a lot spent on it to keep it going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had a few problems.
At the moment like most commodores of this era the tri-matic 3 speed transmission has gone.
Had a few problems with the tail shaft.
And the steering isn't too good either.
General comments?
It isn't very good economy wise chewing petrol like there's no tomorrow, inside the cabin is good though, lots of room. But 80kw from the 202 isn't really good enough for the car of this size.
