    look at the paint code on your compliance plate. that number corrisponds to the name of the paint you have. a guy i used to work with twin turboed his 5.7L cost $16K

    I've only seen 2 VR or VS Calais' in red (can't remember what either were, as they both look identicle besides the badges.

    One was a V8, and one was a V6.


    Its pretty rare for Holden to build a luxury model in Red, for any era.

    If its the same young guy we've seen (was also in the north) it wasn't being babyed, sounded like the motor was on its last legs when i saw it. I thought about offering to buy it, untill i saw how young he was haha

    Vr's were the last red calais produced. VK, VL, VN, VP, & VR all had the red option. They stopped in the VS. They are a rare find but they do exist.

    Nah, its done by year. I just did find and that was the first one.

    Diablo red was definately avaliable on VS HSVs, so it would be there for 94, 95, 95 and maybe 97.

    I`ve seen one like that it was lowered and had the SS kit minus the rear spoiler painted in the grey to match the lower tone, it looked the part.
    I`ll try and find the pic.
