If you ever wanted to own a piece of Australian motoring history, few would have more significance than the final Holden Commodore built on local soil. And as it turns out, it’s currently looking for a new owner.
The Commodore in question is an automatic VFII SS V Redline sedan, which has been listed by Lloyds Auctions, with a current bid of $255,000 – about four times the $57,190 (plus on-road costs) it was priced from when it rolled off the production line on October 18, 2017.
Finished in Redhot solid paintwork, this history-making Holden has 102km on its odometer, only 55km of which was added by its first and only owner. In fact, it was never pre-delivered, so it still has all of the original labels and protectors in situ.
According to Llloyds Auctions, “The current owner worked at Holden for over 14 years in a number of senior roles, with his last role as technical support in the paint shop. He was privileged to have played his part in the manufacture of this car”.
For reference, the rear-wheel-drive VFII SS V Redline was powered by a 304kW/570Nm 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine, with this example mated to a six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.
This Commodore is the second significant piece of Australian motor history to be listed on Lloyds Auctions in recent weeks, with an ultra-rare HSV GTSR W1 Maloo ute holding a current record bid of $1,050,000.
Bidding for both the VFII SS V Redline and GTSR W1 Maloo will end in the less than 48 hours, so get in quick – if you’ve got deep pockets.
