    Smile Factory 5 Speed Manual 5.0l V8 Who owns one?

    Does anyone here have a factory built 5.0L V8 5 Speed Manual Wagon VP?

    I own one but I have never seen another one. I think they could be quite rare?

    I know a fella with a V8 5 speed VR wagon, but yours would be the first VP I've heard of.
    Beau Duke: Man, I'm never gonna get outta this car again. I'm gonna live in it, I'm gonna eat in it and I'm gonna make sweet love to it!
    Luke Duke: You mean you're gonna make sweet love IN it.
    Beau Duke: Oh no, I'm gonna have sex with it.

    The VP is one of the smaller production runs of the commodores

    So a 5L 5 speed could indeed be rare. I'd keep it!

    never seen a VP. Almost bought a VN 5L 5SP wagon. Also had to change my international to manual, as they were all auto!


    Have you got any pics of your car, particually the interior?
