      Thanks Samuel, happy you enjoy them. Love the seats in the VQ’s. Bet the VP Senator was a favourite, great body kit they had. Keeping the 304 dream alive.

    As an American, I am legit TRIGGERED that this car and its Ford counterpart never made it to the US, great cars you guys got.

      We love them, after the VF we have had nothing to replace them with. With GM exiting Australia, the small range of imported and right hand converted Vehicles aren’t a replacement for a rear wheel sedan and they are pricey. We do have the Mustang here and it is reasonably priced. Thanks for watching from the US 🙂

      It's a shame we never got them in the UK either. Being RHD they would of been perfect

    Thankyou, finally a nice clean Calais that has tastefully period-correct wheels (not 20" drug dealer rims) and not lowered on its guts.
    The jealousy back when I was a kid when someone parked next to my parents VN Exec in one of these, whilst bearing that very cool red "5.0L V8" badge on the quarters and boot. Soo bloody cool.

      Thanks for your message, my brother and I do try to keep our cars pretty original spec. Wonder where the VN Exec is now haha?

    Nice car, that 5 litre V8 engine was a great engine.

    Hi Brother's, nice collection of vehicles you own. I wouldn't buy a new car these days. The reliability and build quality is 1000 times better than the new cars of today. Keep up the great work enjoying your channel. Hold on to these vehicles becoming rare and going up in value Holdens forever 💪✌️👍😎

      Thank you… we are in our own little world with these cars, living in the past which we enjoy haha..There will be more Holdens to come on the channel 🙂

    My 1st car was vp calais, v6, then 2 5Ls, an then a calais international fell into my hands. Classy rigs, still so cool

    • @GTZ05
      @GTZ05  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Would have been a very cool first car, still has all the extras inside to be a cool ride to this day… love the International, what a great car…

      Got leather interior ? They're tad rare.

    • @joz1751
      @joz1751 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Partial cream leather. 300 internationals, 150 white, 150 anthracite.
      My gold calais had lush full cream leather. Great combo

    Such a clean example. Good work. I have never seen a vp Calais in that colour except for the Calais international. Pretty rare example you have there 👍🏻

    • @GTZ05
      @GTZ05  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks 🙂It is rare in this colour for a Calais, really suits the car too.

    One tasteful upgrade that I could suggest is using the VS series III Caprice metal / chrome internal door release handles, they will give you a more proper, classy look to the Calais interior…

    • @GTZ05
      @GTZ05  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I used to want to put those handles on my GTS, I think it would look great on the Calais and they feel nice and strong also.. good suggestion

    The 5 ltr is more exciting and has way more throttle response then the boring ls motors

      Hi Mark, this is a TH-cam video about cars, not an essay so it doesn’t need to be grammatically correct. My brother has skills and can probably do a lot of things you cant. Let your hair down and talk loose someday, you might actually enjoy it.
