Good video, well done, especially the cavalcade of models at the end. VB was released at the end of October 78 with models hitting the showrooms on Nov 78. I've been going to NSW Holden day for over 30 years, I've noticed over the years a transition whereby in the early era there were mostly original cars, but the pendulum has shifted to more modified vehicles.
Thanks for your message, glad you enjoyed. I was close with the VB at least… I have nothing against tastefully modified cars, but when I see something to more original spec I have even more appreciation for them.. Dad had a VB SL/E 4.2L, 4 speed manual with optional central locking but no power windows. Was a fantastic car to drive, comfortable, not fast, but sounded great and loved the Freeway… The 253 V8 was standard for VB SL/E but that changed for VC.
We should have kept it, moved it on for a VN SS back in the day..I thought the central locking was cool back then and the retractable rear seat belts were a step up on Dads previous car. Would you happen to know the diff ratio by any chance ?
VH the last chrome bumper bar Holden. I have 2007 VE SSV, black everything, 63,000km. Love it. They may be hard to keep clean, but by jeez they look great. Great video mate.
Hi John, spot on about the VH! I used to own a VE Clubby, was a great car, yours has nice low KMS for its age. Black does look great. Make sure you hold onto it! Glad you enjoyed
@@ckaparos awesome car, loved the set up inside with the radio and all… was always looking out for these in my rear vision mirror back in the day thinking is this Commodore an undercover haha
You’re 100% correct, not even the right Series lol, I also named a WN towards the end as a WM but at least that’s the right shape! What’s even more odd is Service NSW has the Grange listed as a WK.. 2009 BLACK HOLDEN WK P/CAR SEDAN which is wrong😑

@@GTZ05 Your Dad's VB SL/E was option pack 306 which was known as the European pack which ran the tall diff hence it's love of the open road.

@@GTZ05 likely to be 2.78 on the 253 V8.

Excellent, sounds like you are a fellow Greek aswell, might see you there next year. Love the car and would have liked to see more of it.
@@GTZ05 indeed I'm and sounds good mate, what car do you have?
@ckaparos I have a fair few,
4 VN’s, 1 VP, a VR, a VS, 2 VT’s and my daily is an Audi S3 for now.. most of the cars on my channel are mine.
Love your videos. You featured the AWD coupe 4 monaro’s but you missed my HSV Avalanche. Same running gear as the coupe 4 and rare at around 200 made.
Thanks mate, damn and I love my wagons also, tried to film as many as I could but missed yours, hopefully will next time.
