1983 Holden Commodore VH SL/E review from Australia and New Zealand

"Best commodore ever made I love it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Starter motor, replaced it.

Thermostat housing, replaced it.

Ignition column, the starter wouldn't engage, I wired it for button start.

The standard carburetor auto choke was rubbish, replaced Cary with a 425 Holley with a red line 2 torquer manifold ported and polished.

Had a small amount of rust on the passenger side door, fixed.

General comments?

I bought this car for $700 and I will never sell it this is my favorite model car.

This car is immaculate apart from the rust.

It came with the reconditioned motor only done 35,000 it's extremely fast with the induction modifications, outruns the new v6 motors.

It came with side-skirts and a spoiler.

It came with 14 inch 3 spoke mags.

It came with new brakes, wheel bearings, power steering unit, tires are new 215's.

It came with a mo-mo sports steering wheel.

The interior is immaculate also.

There is nothing wrong with it, nothing even small.

I am still trying to figure out why the guy sold it. Especially so cheap.
