    Default what is NITRON

    several early illustrations of the VL show a large badge that says
    NITRON above the electronic injection badge, but Ive never seen a nitron badge on a VL
    any ideas??

    It was basically just like a storm ute is today, a couple of extras and a badge.

    someone is selling a NITRON at work under the guise of being a rare HDT, including a polarizer! 3litre six!

    $19,000

    There is a reason why Commodore is number 1 since 1979. Its the best Aussie car. I loved my VL and I love my VE. I cant help it.

    Yeh they were made by hdt and sold to melbourne call yards. Only 100 made i think. They had crappy standard sl/exec interior, brock wheels and brock bumpers and skirts i think.

    the one for sale is RED. it looks like a base VL with the brock group A rims. i had a VL calais so i got a soft spot for the 3litre 6, but for $19,000 i would rather get a real group A......

    i know that aussie V8 classics are selling for insane prices these days. the Nitron has no street cred and not worth 19,000. HDT badge or not.

    I disagree with these guys that don't think the Nitron is worthy. They were an impressive looking car when they were new, Very distinctive in that red. I would prefer one over most HSV's being a bit oldschool the HDT sticker is more impressive to me than HSV is
