Decent exhaust to hear that 253 purr, other than that leave it as it is.

Nice VB,
Being the first model of Holden Commodore,
Leave it stock,
Polish it up, and Wax it, and it will be easy to keep it clean.
Just took a double take at your photo,
The front end may need to be looked at,
Because the front wheel looks to be a bit far forward than usual,
But it doesn’t look like the wheel is turned in, or maybe it is,
Does anyone else agree ?.

Nice car, if you change anything make sure you keep all the old spares in case you want to go back to original and for resale.

Keep it stock & fix whatever needs fixing...maybe a period mod or two as long as can be reverted back to stock appearance.

Other than that join car club to put it on 90 day rego & drive it occasionally.

What everyone says, leave it stock - there's not many left in that condition with that engine. Just make sure you get it out and enjoy it as they all should be! ;)

I can feel how comfy those seats are.
I’d be leaving everything as it is. Spend some coin on a professional detail inside and out. Paint correction. Then ceramic coat.
