This genuine factory V8 1987 Holden VL Commodore combines iconic Walkinshaw styling with a serious performance package and exceptional attention to detail throughout.

Genuine factory V8 VL Commodores have become highly sought after in their own right, making them the perfect foundation for a build of this calibre. Following an extensive restoration, this example captures the presence and character of the legendary Walkinshaw while delivering a driving experience to match.

Power comes from a refreshed injected 304 V8 featuring head work, 9.5:1 compression, Crow camshaft, large throttle body, Rollmaster timing chain, Pro Street balancer, and a programmable Haltech ECU. Vortex ceramic coated headers and a 2.5-inch exhaust system complete the package with an incredible soundtrack.

Backing the engine is a rebuilt T5 manual gearbox with hydraulic slave conversion and steel lightened flywheel, while the suspension, brakes, and driveline have been carefully developed to create a car that handles exceptionally well on the road.
