It’s called Holden and they won’t tell you anything. No longer helpful.
Their data base is suspected to be partly inaccessible now to them. GM delete button has been at work.

When you say series ii you mean the VZ series as orange ( Fusion , 347n ) ?
Can't tell you how many in each colour but according to the book Monaro Magic there were 1661 VZ CV8 493 in 2004, 1159 in 2005 and 9 in 2006.
Then there was 1605 CV8-Z , 1152 in 2005 and 453 in 2006

There was no orange in the V2 series i and ii.
Ignition ( orange 341n )is listed as a test colour for the V2 series iii but whether one ever got this colour I don't know.

Cheers for the info, It is 2002 VX and sorry orange by colour but Flame red by name, and apologies for the lack of knowledge, I am a ford man through and through but the garage now has a purple VS V8 ute, and hopefully Monaro if the guy ends up selling, both vehicles I loved as I hadn't seen the colours before.

Nice, all I can give you is production #s for 2002 was 3245.
There is list as 9 including ( 2 test ) colours for the series i
Have read where others think it's a pretty rare colour.
Some one in a Monaro car club might know alot more.

Thanks, yes it has the flame interior as well, I did see a thread where they said it was sought after combo, Monaro Club? Also looked up the book, only copy I could see was 1K! guessing an awesome book!

Guessing that would be a rare combo.
Don't know if there's a Monaro car club in Tasmania
I'm in Newcastle NSW there's one in this area and a couple in Sydney.
I did sound them out about 5 or 6 years ago at the nsw all Holden day but never joined in the end I joined a club that accepts all makes/models.
A model specific club would you'd think have some very knowledgeable people.

Holly sxxt 1k for a book . People are going crazy.
It is a very good book Though !
Better than these two



I'll throw this one up as well since you said you're a Ford man

That prompted me to to dig out my Monaro books .......... I'm rich ! ! ........... I've got the 'Platinum Edition' autographed by author Norm Darwin. :)

Page 207 of 'Monaro Magic' = Total CV8 series 1 production 3,136 (Estimated using VFacts data) No mention of colour breakdown.

Page 83 of Joshua Dowling's book ..... 72 'Flame Red' Monaros were fitted with a spoiler..... out of how many produced ?
So if @Andrew has a spoiler on his, it is a rare colour made even rarer.

I don't think I have seen one that colour since ..... dunno when. I thought it was close to Fords "Brambles Red" from Falcon GT days of old.

It’s called Holden and they won’t tell you anything.
Unlike Ford who seem to be able to dig up build numbers and all sorts of info for owners.
You have a better chance of getting info on a 70's rust ridden chook shed find Falcon than any Holden.
