    Default how can u tell if a senator is real

    so i just brought a 95 vs senator..
    how many marking or plates are there to tell its a senator.
    cause all it has is a senator badge and build number on the left hand side of the dash
    and obviously the outside badging, but under the bonnet it looks just like a 5 lt vs..

    any help to identify it as a real senator would be good. or i just blew a lot of money for nothing haha...

    Plug your VIN into here:

    HSV | Owners | Authenticate

    Not really much you can do if the car isnt real. You didnt check it.

    No it' itsn't. It's just another Calais with some HSV stuff on it.

    On the other hand you could always clean it up and represent it as what it is instead of being a tool trying to pretend it's something it's not.

    Well that shouldve been your first clue. 6 grand for a VS Senator, dont think so.

    Its as much as VS Senator as the execs that roll around in HSV Body kits. Just clean it up like reaper said and present it as a good mock up.
