1980 Holden Commodore vc review from Australia and New Zealand
"A cheap good looking classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It blew a head gasket at about 120 000, which meant a top end recondition.
The trailer plug lost a grub screw, so now it falls out.
The right hand blinker won't turn off automatically.
General comments?
My VC is in absolutely fantastic condition, this seats a perfect, the body is perfect... hell it even has the original brake pads.
The original four cylinder engine only has 58 kilo-watts of power, which isn't much, but it's a very smooth ride.
On a recent holiday, I only used half a tank doing 90km/h for 400km...it works out about 8 and a half litres per 100km.
