regal peacock is a great colour Sold my Phantom Black redline to buy a Regal Peacock one. I do find it strange though that the VF where built from mid 2013 but they are not classed as 2013 models they are classed as MY14.

Hi, does anyone have the contact details for a competent motor trimmer in any of the following areas being Ippy-Bris or Logan. Reason being ( not a VT VX but same era Holden) I have an 02 CV8 Monaro and it has the purple haze leather trim, front seats need redoing so I need a shop that can...

Hi, well it’s now January 2021 and I think most Holden’s have gone up in price. As for the VT SS’s they have definitely gone up, although everything goes on condition. I own a few VT SS’s S1 & S2 + other VT’s and I’ve been keeping watch for years, no graphs (very nice by the way) but having...

Hi, well the headlights are just normal VT headlights so after market ones are easy to source of eBay, probably get a pair for $150.00-. Spotlights are no longer available and I have seen them go for $1,000.00 a set NOS. I have fitted VE SS fog lights to a VT clubsport by just cutting a piece of...

This thread was started in 2012, ( June 2019 now ) the VT SS S1’s don’t seem to holding value very well, I see the automatics for sale for only a couple of grand and manuals for around 3K, not many manuals advertised, you would assume the couldn’t get any cheaper. Danny zzz is correct with the...

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I have a VT SS series 2 and the LS1 engine number starts with NS The NS and following numbers are not done in the way the factory dot style of stamping I have seen is done but in the old style, that is they appear to be stamped in with a set of stamps and a...

I realise this thread is a couple of months old but I thought I would add my opinion. I agree with EYY in as much in that whatever was popular in its day has a very good chance of being popular in the future. If you take a look at production figures it gives you a bit of an idea of how popular a...

Hi Drewie, Am stumped with the 8BB for the time being lol, I will ask at my local Holden dealer next week. Lout posted a link to a page were a member shows how to decipher the model code on the aluminium plate that is on the passenger side of the radiator on the front radiator support panel. I...

Damn accidentally hit post again ( .sorry all...). As I was writing, I am wondering if Drewies has a sunroof (he’ had his from new). As my VT SS S2 and VX SS both have sunroofs and the 8BB at the end of the model number but my other VT SS’s don’t have the 8BB and none of them have sunroofs...

HI, Well I scrolled down and got to 8BB and it listed it as 44102 COMPUTER SEL SUSP Which unfortunately leaves me none the wiser. I am wondering if Drewie who has had his fr

Hi, I realise this thread is over 2 years old but a question someone might be able to help me with. I have a few SS’s and Extremely helpful information .... I realise this post I’m replying to is over 2yrs old but I have a question in regards to the model number option 8BB. I have this option...

I think that any SS is probably a safe bet depending on how well you purchased (cheap it was). Although I think that the VT SS will be the pick in the years ahead. We all have different formulas for explaining our own view point but here are a few things to consider. The vehicles that were most...

Hi VS 5.0, sorry for the delay, been a bit hectic here, anyway I took a few photos this arvo of the BT1 there on my profile, didn't get great shots as the sun was low on the horizon somI put her in the shade as the glare was a bitch, will get some better ones in time, it needs a good cut and...

Yes it did and by the crushed section of the chrome on the upper front pillars lol it had a sun visor as well, I removed the vinyl when she was resprayed, I would have had new vinyl fitted but on the compliance plate where it says TOP there is no code so I assume it was dealer fitted, I have...

Hi not an abba fan, interestingly I was messaged and advised to try another search engine to see if I could upload my photos that way, I'm with Google so I tried "Safari" and I actually got my VB SLE photos to load up, ( very decent of the person to suggest trying another search engine) I also...

Warped to buggery, although I have read a lot of people in other sites I have visited complain about all the holes in the dash, console etc, well I have no holes anywhere, only mentioning it as a lot of people seem to mention it and to me the dash look normal, also it only has 206 000 klm on the...

Well I went to a computer shop and it seems I can not get an adapter for a USB stick as IPad are not designed internally to use / support them, yes I am computer illiterate, on VS 5.0 advice in an earlier post I have already joined Photobucket but can't figure out how to use it, I will try again.

Hi, yeah I am fairly new to this forum, actually it's the only site I am a member of and after reading your reply I can understand your post a lot better, I am trying to get photos to upload as I went to the Lismore Holden dealership with my VIN number and they were nice enough to give me a 1...

Sorry not an abba fan but your are incorrect, I listed all the features my executive BT1 has and I posted in that run down that it had IRS, you read my post then posted yours stating that no executive came out with IRS, my exec BT1 has IRS so please accept the fact that you are incorrect. I am...

Starting a thread for the VS BT1's Hi, that will be a good idea, am tied up for the next few days, have a funeral to go to tomorrow and it's 500 klm's away so I won't be back till Saturday and I will be stuffed, also I am computer illiterate seriously I can't even get the photo's of my VB...

I said I would be doing a few miles not " if your going to be driving it so much" I never said I was upset "that your upset it does not have cruise control" Then you go on to equate the above with why buy a petrol guzzler .....maybe I like cruise control not only for sticking to the speed...

It's. an auto, I thought the "all you do is plug it in" sounded to easy, Well I won't be getting it now till tomorrow, arriving by tilt tray and I'll check it over and probably start collecting the bits you fellows have put me onto, thanks for that, another question does anyone know how many of...

Hi, I am purchasing a 95 VT 5 litre ex highway patrol car tomorrow and was disappointed it did not have cruise control but the seller assured me that it is all in the loom and all I need do is buy the stalk and fit it and all done. Not being a negative bloke but I think that scenario seems way...

The Aztec silver 310 pack Sorry I never got back on sooner but I have been busy, well I see the Aztec silver 310 pack is on EBay, finishes in 2 days ( 9/11/14) his start price is 15k but the reserve is 25k and he has not got a bid, I have seen this car for sale for a while, I am not " 100%...

VB COMMODORE'S for sale I should have worded that better, we have already got 2 of the 310 packs, it was my stupidity in selling the rough 308 pack "before" we secured the other 308 pack that was the stupid thing I did, so I should have said "does anyone know of any 308 packs out there on...

VB 308 4 speed no longer for sale Well I never went up on Sunday as my son could not contact the owner, he eventually drove out there on Sunday evening and the fellow apologised ( for being bloody ignorant) and informed my son he is now keeping it, but if he decides to part with it he will...

Well I have an old Nokia phone and have never tried to get a photo out of it, I am not all up on the computer stuff, I tried to load photos of my own car onto my profile weeks ago and couldn't even get that and the photos are on my computer, anyway I am thinking of going up Sunday to see my son...

A question for SMITTY & SL/E NUT, yeah another query from me fellas lol, or anyone who might be able to help feel free to give me your opinion, the question or questions is on a factory VB SLE, my son looked at one yesterday, ( Brisbane ), by its tags it is a factory 308 with the M21 4 speed (...

Hi, a question , was going through Gumtree today 26th Oct 2014 :) and came across a VC Commodore 4 cylinder for sale, a bloke named Luke,12 Duffield st, East Gawler S.A, (that's about 50 k's out of Adelaide) has a basically stock Commodore "L" with the starfire 4cylinder in it, it's red with a...

Tucker bag EBay Hi tuckerbag, you should have asked why was she on EBay, I removed it before you posted your question, it was removed this afternoon, shame on you for not checking before posting your question :) lol. So I will answer "why was it on EBay" instead, fairly simple, what is...

Correction on details Hi Smitty, I just read my reply to you and noticed that I put down that the original purchaser of the car lived at Oakleigh, that was incorrect he lived in East Bentleigh, both suburbs of Melbourne , I was told the original purchaser worked at Holden and he also was...

Number plates Hi Smitty, thanks for the information, very very much appreciated, good to know all that, like 41 hours to make over a 8-10 day period, priceless information, no it's not with original plates, I am in NSW and I have the personalised plates MY 78 VB on it but I have the...

I am wondering if my car is possibly the first factory optioned 5ltr sold ? I do realise that it is probably impossible to prove and Holden has no records so a person can only go on what information there is. Well the car is currently on EBAY if you want to take a look at it, I'm thinking...

Thanks for the quick reply, the add said it was 1 of only 50 but I think it's more like 1 of 100 lol, although you have shown with the diff that he was technically correct, as for rare I saw a VB wagon on a site a while back ( with photos of the tags) and it was a factory 308 4 speed with the...

Hi, I recently purchased a factory 308 4 speed with 3.08 diff although it is in a really bad way, if anyone follows EBay they would have seen it on there, I noticed SLENUT has one, does anyone really have any idea how many were made or any idea how many are still around. The 1 I bought has wind...

Wow, I have to admit that has been fun following this thread, beats watching judge Judy :), what I am curious about though is was 79VCSLE correct that the trim code on his car was not available till the VC model ? If that is true wouldn't that give him so credibility as for parts & trim I accept...

Thanks Damien, your definitely the most informed & helpful person Ive come across in a long time, your information is very much appreciated. Regards, Crossy
