VC 253 M20
Hoping for some help, my VC has the option code of 121 stamped into the compliance plate.
Anyone know what was in the 121 option pack?
Thanks Adam

VB SLE 308 M21
Rare VB factory 308 M21 manual

I have recently found and purchased a VB 308 m21 in very original, but used condition. Further investigation has uncovered Bilstien shocks, Brock chrome rocker covers, LSD rear, but no electric windows etc. I have heard some cars were selected early in the piece into the HDT (pre - Brock VC's) ?
Is there any truth in this? And what additional features were there, if any?
This is a quick and lumpy sounding vehicle, and the gear box seems to be close ratio 4 Ausie speed ?
Please if anyone knows about these, or the advanced research through Holdens special vehicle mods - please comment!
Kind regards-

I know this is old, but I like this game

VH 267 = 3.3L, trimatic, 3.08:1

That code doesn't give any more info that the specs you already have in the relevant sections :(

Nothing to do with HDT. These are a production model called "308" pack. I have one as well. From my research, 100 were built, 50 with 2.60:1 ratio diff, other with 3.08:1 ratio. I have heard stories about pre HDT VC models, this isn't the case. Also have heard to help please CAMS, Holden needed to have 100 5 litre manual Commodores built to race back in those Group C days, all stories.

Yes, the gear box is the close ratio M21 5 litre only gearbox.

Only other features/options are electric windows, central locking and leather trim.
