- VP Executive 5.0L IRS ABS
ITEM: VP Commodore Sedan V8 Auto BT1 EX-NSW Police Car (Still got books). It has FE2, IRS, ABS, LSD, Cruise Control, Factory central locking + immobiliser, Tow bar and SS style seats (original). Older style Pioneer CD player and speakers.
LOCATION: Salisbury, SA
YEAR: May 1993 (Last of the VP's)
SERIES: 2
BADGE: Executive
ENGINE: 304ci/5.0L Holden V8 (Greenfoam style chip, CAI)
TRANS: Auto TH700R4 (Stage I Shift Kit from previous owner)
COLOUR: Imperial Blue
EXTERIOR CONDITION: Good for age. Some door dents from inconsiderate pr!cks.
INTERIOR CONDITION: Excellent, small wear rip on drivers seat.
TYRE CONDITION: 95% - 4 Brand new 15" Nankang Toursport 611. Std cop rims, remember VP IRS offset is different to later commodores.
TYRE SIZE: 205/65R15 95H
ODOMETER: 171,681km (I believe this to be genuine even though it is low - I bought it with 143,000) Has genuine BT1 2km increments and is spot on compared to the roadside speedo 'checkers'.
SERVICE HISTORY: YES - I change the oil and filter every 10,000 and have over $1000 in receipts for PARTS. I do all the labour myself.
REGO: WWU-200 Until the 27/3/2010 here in SA.
RWC: No defects or money owing crap.
PRICE: $4500 ONO - no swaps unless its a VY-VZ wagon + cash difference
DELIVERY/PICK UP: Pick up of course, I would arrange delivery if someone wanted and paid for it.
PAYMENT: Cash or bank deposit.
CONTACT: Jim, 0402 221 287
OTHER INFO: Finally. Needs a new cat-back exhaust. It currently has a 2.5" that is rusting out and could do with replacement but I will leave that up to the taste of the next owner as to how loud or quiet it is. It doesn't have extractors. It does have a tunerpro chip and a CAI. Previous owner must have fitted the shift kit but I have no details on it. Chirps into 2nd but not too rough, just right.
I bought the car 3 years ago as a daily driver with 143,000kms on the clock. It is a regretful sale but my circumstances have changed and I have had to buy a work vehicle and no longer really have room for another car I don't drive.
Parts that have been replaced or repaired:
-Power Steering Pump and Rack (previous owner & I have the receipts)
-Fully Nolathaned front end + new strut tops (radius rod bushes, lower control arm, swaybar + conversion back to earlier style link pins, much nicer to drive)
-New Monroe gas shocks up front
-New engine mounts + block mount as original was cracked on drivers side.
-New leads, rotor button, dizzy cap and coil.
-New front and rear brake pads, new stainless braided front brake lines, full flush + bleed. Discs were machined about 15,000kms ago.
-New Tyres + wheel alignment, maybe done 2000km's on them and the brake pads.
-New inlet manifold gaskets + coolant
-New accelerator cable
-New ignition switch
-New heated O2 sensor
-New heater valve
-Fixed headlining
As you can see I have spent plenty of money and done all the hard work. I'm sure you can find cheaper V8's out there but I guarantee you will end up doing everything that I have listed here so why bother. It uses 15L/100km around town doing short trips. It will get around 13L/100km around town if you are doing decent length trips. It gets 10L/100km on the open road at 110 on cruise control. It has the big fuel tank. I only use 98 octane BP fuel. Who cares about the extra $5.
