The VL Commodore Is Too Good to Let Go........

  • After years of hard work restoring this iconic 1987 VL Commodore, it’s finally ready for the big giveaway… or is it? In this video, I take you through all the latest updates: a brand-new exhaust that sounds incredible a freshly painted underbody, and we get to go for a short drive.
    As I hit the road and enjoy everything this VL has to offer, I can’t help but feel conflicted. It’s more than just a car; it’s a time capsule of Aussie motoring history and a project I’ve poured my heart and soul into.
    Having second thoughts and feeling attached to the car a bit now after refining it and driving it, she turns heads alright..
    Watch as I share my thoughts, give you a closer look at the final upgrades. Plus, find out how you can still enter the giveaway and be the next owner of this car to enjoy cruising around with friends or family.

    Just mentioning the OEM colour - "Venetian Red" - that's the type of thing that makes all the difference (to me at least lol)...Clean, mean, using a $20k camera setup = dream.
    3:35 the OG Holden logo in the dash - shit that took me by surprise lol.
    4:03 - I feel this 1000% - never had a problem servicing my mates cars, but the second I think about doing my own...LOL
    I've wanted to create a video as a tribute (going to call it "A Love Letter to Australian Maufacturing" LOL) to the cars we used to build and design here; this just reinvigorates that motivation (which is rare for me).
    Always will have time and a day for anyone who cares enough to keep history alive.

    Wow that is nice!
    I really do like the Vl Model and personally I would NOT change a thing on this car!
    I own a couple of classics myself (on my channel) and I appreciate lots of old classic cars.

    Love the VL, great looking car.. my era.. but you reckon it would have been as popular then and today if it wasn’t powered by the legendary Nissan motor…? Debatable for sure.
