VH SS Real or Not?
hey guys found a vh ss at a mates house that he has had for years.
its got ss badges on it and a few peter brock sigs on it (i know its its not a group 3 hdt, unforntuatly) but im not sure if its a genuine ss. the numberplate suggest's so, but i want to be sure. 5 spd manual, 5.0L (308 im guessing)
i have seen photo's with the ss logo's on the left corner of the boot (unlike these on the right) and the sticker is different. looks to me like a vk ss. unless they've been changed..
also, whats the deal with the brock on the ss? i thought brock cars were only hdt?
any other details, please ask, i really need to know! lol.

what about tag numbers? even the id numbers, that way can check it against the bible for true ID
is there a SS badge above the radio? is there an original radio?

My Knowledge on VH's is sketchy, but ill take a punt.
Yeah I thought the Peter Brock sig was only on HDT cars to.
Also didnt the SS come witha a Cold air tray? or was this HDT or a VK thing?
Anyways post up the Build plate and some one will tell you for sure.

You "found" a VH SS at your mate's house, what you didn't know he had it..? I'm sure your mate would know if it's genuine or not, i mean if i had one i would know- I don't think many people some day suddnely realise, hey i got a genuine VH SS-
you'll have to zoom in but you can read it.

Gearbox is an M21, which is a 4-speed. BUT I was told, apparently all the 5-speeds were still stamped M21(On VK's), but there reason being was that Holden fitted the 4-speed and HDT fitted the 5-speed, SS is not a HDT :S
no original radio.

i pretty sure it was a 5 speed.
i was looking for a hdt plate or something like that, but couldnt find one. where are the hdt plates normaly stamped?

Passenger side firewall i THINK..... But an SS is not HDT... I think its just a Bitsa someone is trying to pull off as an SS.
yeah, thanks for that mate.
the stickers were the first thing that threw me off.
just one other thing aswell,
when i looked in the glove box it had the GENUINE SS hand book and service book and everything in there from the 1st owner with all the same details as the car filled out in it.
??
The VH SS should have the poverty interiour, no options, I think no radio a 253 and a 4 speed, the were built to qualify a light shell for Bathurst. Most budget car you could get, they were cheap too. I think 11-12k for a new one in 1982

Its a SS, look on the model code, just see XV2, SS option pack

Thats for HDT built cars, IE Group 1 or 2 or 3. This is a Holden Commodore VH SS, non HDT options.

Almost not here!
Here is a group 3 tag

I reckon its a small rectangle plate that has the chassis number and which plant it was made.

yeah if u look at the other id tags you can see the out line of where another one was or it has been moved.iether way theres a few holes around that general area
right got a few codes,
XV2 being the one of the ss codes, because they were built off different model vh's. so, YES it is a ss.
lol, thats in the boot. had a alarm system wired into it, and the shroud was never put back on.Interesting that the lower steering column shroud is missing - hmmmmm
Are we there yet?
What the hell are you all looking at,i see no pictures.Get me a straight jacket.
