    I didn't even know that the wagon was available as an S pack for the VN/VP commodore. I thought all wagons were execs back then/

    Yeah I've seen a few VNs Commodore S, the wagon is being stored at my mates place 100 kms from here, bought it for $250 with spare engine & trans. Anyway its very good condition inside, it has red grey trim same as VN SS Commodore from memory. I havent checked out the plates yet, I will hopefully this week or next week...

    Features it has, central locking, cruise, electric antenna, full dash claster, 3.8 litre, full paint trim on bumpers, I remember seeing "Commodore S" with small black & red "S" on the rear tailgate door. I dont know if it has FE2s, if not I'll install em.

    Didn't Commodore S have V8 disc brakes?

    Mmm I'm now determained to see the plate, mmm have to go out that way to check it out but its hard because of work in between it...

    Yeah I've seen Berlinas, Calais and S & SS Commodore to have full dash clasters. I remembered driving it last Friday and thought the suspensions was very firm nice ride around corners - very similar to my Subaru Liberty as it has sports pack suspensions... So I am pretty sussed that its FE2 Suspensions, because last I test drove Berlina last Wednesday and it drove like a boat!!...
