    There is a grey area that Holden has no info, thats late 70s to late 80s.

    As for these Papaya edition VHs, i think 150 were built. All were 253/manuals. I don't know why they were built, probably some special dealer decided to make them.

    two tone brown/tan SL/X spec trim, same wheels as the Holden Vh SS. Nothing special, just an orange in colour.

    Won't be in there. These cars were done at dealers. Only VIN numbers(which BTW, VB-VKs don't really have) will be the same as VH SL/X 253/manuals.

    if it really is Papaya
    it will be this colour...



    check the vehicles body tags and get the paint code of them...
    and tell us..then we can check. I have a list of the VB-VK paint codes

    btw....
    the other info on the body tags if its really a 253 4 speed
    will state
    ENG L36 TRANS M20

    and there will be a VIN or TAG on the car (not the full 16 digit one used these days)
    but a shorter GMH internal use one that will say something like J123456 or L456789

    does this mean any more
    yep its a real 253 manual made in the dandenong VAP
    and my paint records show this as a Dulon paint line (acylic enamel)
    and its either papaya - 1E020-1..or Sebring Orange
    1e020-3 (funny I have all codes from 1971 and no 1e202)
