    Best way to sell Brock Special Commodore?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 29 October 2015

    Auctioning it, parking it on the nature strip with a "For Sale" sign in the window. In my view none of those are the best way to sell your car. The best cars of this type sell by word of mouth within club circles, the cars that don't scrub up well with the people who really know these cars end up in auctions. Contact HSV and Brock clubs and tell them about your car.

    Commodore gas backfires
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 9 February 2006

    YOUR problem isn't unique. Start by making sure your ignition and fuel settings are correct. If they are, have a leakdown test done to determine if you have a leaking valve or valve guide. They are a common cause of backfiring. The air/fuel mix in the intake manifold is igniting and the pressure created is blowing your intake box apart.

    And what price a fine vl?
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 31 March 2005

    THE VL Commodore is a popular model and you should find plenty of willing buyers. The odometer reading is very low and provided it has been well serviced and is roadworthy, any new owner should need to do little to it. It would be worth contacting Holden car clubs in your area. An average VL Commodore has a value of about $5000, but yours could be worth $8000-$10,000 if it is as good as you say.
