Are you sure thats an SS? Looks like an executive V8.. especially cos it's got no SS symbols, no fluted front guards and no SS front bar or bodykit.

Gday Geoff,
I was following your decoding vin topic in the VZ section ... what model did this car end up being coz I know it caused confusion.

It looks to me like its an Executive with the Gen 3 V8 which I believe are used by WA Police so they can be built to order by Factory (something Ive been told doesnt happen ...)

Its rare in NSW for a V8 executive, then again mines ex NSW Police unmarked Acclaim which doesnt compute either because its rare for an Acclaim to have been used especially for unmarked duties so I believe anything really.

Either way looks like a good car, I love the Gen 3!!!

nice. exec v8 have not seen one of them since the vt.

good score and a very good sleeper

Sure it's not a SV8? Im pretty sure that the series 1 Sv8's were basically exec's with v8...

 

[Torquative]

didnt VZ SV8 share the SS bodykit though? I'm not 100% sure I know the VY SV8 was just exec bodykit with SS running gear (in a nutshell)

Yeah it does look like an executive V8.

Here is one for sale, and to me the price reflects it's not a VZ SS.

How do you know it's ex police issue? Does it have a new drivers seat?



Good work having the gen III though.

Yeah I was gonna say, looks more like an exec.

Nice. Don't see many v8 execs these days.

i tend to think it's just an sv8 with badges taken off cos the first of the vz's were the same as execs with a wing tehn the second lot came with the same kit as the sv6.

sweet looking car but i think those rims are meant to be copies cos they don't look like clubby's

Well it seems clear it isn't an SS. Still has the nice V8 power though.
