Man I love these reviews. It's nice to see such beautiful machinery shared for us all to enjoy. Mint work as always. 👌 I dream of the day that JR will thrash my monster up and down the back streets of Mexico at regulation road speeds. I'm a man of simple things, you see.
Thank you for the review. The styling on the VL looks interesting. The gentleman did an excellent job of upgrades on the interior and exterior. the front end styling is very Oldsmobile. Thank you for sharing.
This car hammers. Extra cred for it being a manual. It's interesting that more and more people seem to be LS swapping the VLs instead of developing the RB30ET or the Holden 5L. Being a trainspotter, I suspect that this example is not an original Calais since there are no headrests in the rear and the courtesy lights that the Calais models had above the C pillar window are missing as well. That said, kudos for the 'sympathetic' restoration and for not being tempted to take it down the 'sex spec' route.
I used to hoon up and down that very stretch of roan back in the day. Then they changed it all and wasn't any funafter that. I work not far from there..The Break Wall it was(is) called.
Exactly what i needed to clear my head after a review of a ughhhhhhhh Magna ,3.5 litres of screaming V6 with a bodykit straight from Auto Salon ,who the fk goes into a new Mitsubishi dealership and shells out money on that when theres a VT with an option of a 5litre or the new LS1 RIGHT NEXT DOOR AT A hOLDEN DEALERSHIP
Great review of the VL. It sure sounds good with the supercharger fitted. I like that the owner has kept it mostly factory looking. I would be interested to see what 0-100km it would get if it would get traction straight way. Would be hard with that amount of power. You would have a lot of fun driving this car. Especially being a manual.
Old VL still doesn't compare.....to the that mental F6 u videoed. just because I'm a blue-blooded ford man But 10 points to the owner for a great build

WTF with giving BJ’s to Trump??? This is supposed to be a car channel !! Anyone wants to make love with Trump or Biden campaign, just do your self a favour just buy a 1 way ticket!!!
@@RossReviewsau damn rite brother the globalist scumbags have put him through hell and he’s a BOSS. And the icing on the cake is Biden has just dropped out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bye bye 👋 to a 50 year political thief.
Although I am a ford lover, u can’t go wrong with a beautiful example of a VL….
Glad you can admit that✅👍
Yer im more fords but had 2 vl wagons they were great.
Wow! Thanks guys that has brought back memories! Leaning to drive in the family VL straight 6, to see that car reborn with a S/C LS is amazing!
Glad you got them memories back
EAD 355 is SAVAGE 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 🗿🗿🗿😮💨😮💨😮💨
The old VL is an Aussie classic it's timeless especially done right like this beauty man,loved it thanks brah.
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy to see a manual too awesome build
Save the manuals
I had a 5 speed 6 VL back in 89 this one would have been a dream back then very cool car.
Gorgeous ride

_Nice job Ray, I run a 1900 HARROP too, on a 2.4L 😝, love it_
God damn 😈👀
@@RossReviewsau 😭
man this car is great, its the perfect street car. Comfortable and then gets angry if your want it to be
It’s so good 😊
I like the custom shaped top dash pad above the speedo cluster, most unique thing about this car.
It’s killer
E... A.. D... 🤣the gilmer drive on those 1900 blowers sound so nice
🤣🤣

Thanks for watching! Love the Oldsmobile
@@RossReviewsau You are most welcome. I own two Oldsmobiles : a 1992 Oldsmobile Toronado and a 1996 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight.

Definitely a clean build this
Very nice.. was good to see something a little bit different besides the usual vl turbo. Blown 6.0L in a vl would be very fun to drive..
I loved this build tuff streeter
Beautiful car done very nicely. Enjoyed the review as it was something a bit different. Would like to see more VL reviews? 😉🇦🇺👊
Love the combo...something different....have a soft spot for blown v8s...love the VL shape...enjoyable review...great job Johnny....
You and me both! Thanks as always mark

Beautiful spot but yeh the bumps are annoying AF
The wheels give it away, they look shocking. Needs to be 18's at the biggest, would look less tippy.
Fair but still love the look
The sound of that 6L is the best
It’s so good
What a awesome VL great set up done well can’t go wrong with 6.0 especially blone and manual ❤🤩👍Vz Glenn 🏎👌
Couldn't agree more!
Yep im a Ford man and would rather an RB in it. But that two tone colour combo looks brilliant
It take this after driving both tbh 😅
Wicked car ray 🤙
Epic
Great video, Jono.
Always enjoying and supporting your channel.
Cheers mate from William.
Thanks 👍

🤣🤣🤣 I actually like that Magna but I do agree I’d buy the VT with my money
While not exactly my tastes, it's still someone's pride and joy and it's a bit different. Still cool in my book.
Sick car bro always love seeing it around !!!!!
I got the vt ss bro !!!! U know 😉😂
Hell yah up the VT
@@RossReviewsau yeah bro you seen it last time you come to Sydney with clay wong 👍
Got to love a clean vl turbo six or V8 👌💪. Keep up the awesome content
Thanks! Will do!
WAS SO GOOD it was fitted with a NISSAN AND TRANSMISSION
that's a proper car.
Definitely
Nice to see a VL with a V8…
Indeed!

Was a really nice example.. noise looks power all great
Everyone likes a VL
You just gotta
sick VL 👍
The best😈
Did love the rb30 in mine no turbs. But that ls is sweet bro'
Real driver
Gotta explain the calais front end would confuse many muricans
Power glide sorry
Really nice VL mate! EAD 😂
lol you got it
Yeah Buddy
Let’s goo🇦🇺💪
It's funny. Ray says the car was made in 1987. That is my exact age me being born in 1987.
Good time to be born I’d say
nah, this is too sweet 7:52
🔥🔥🔥
Yer the vl nice lines' and grunt cheers
If only it had more era standard wheels, it very well could of been a very near perfect build.
Thank u so glad not a powerhouse
Fkn weapon build bro props to the owner
Mad respect

You need to be enlightened
@@RossReviewsau Sounds like some one got butt hurt by truth
👉🏼🦵🏼🍑
When are you leaving
That’s a beautiful VL. Is it a genuine Calais? Either way it’s very nicely done.
I assume so
Hearing Trump giving so much importance to local car manufacturing makes me jealous, no one here even mentions that anymore
I love trump thank god he’s ok 👍

Epic VL
So good
Oh yeah Ray 🤣😏
Mad car
11:37 show me your O face! well built car top to bottom and colour is mint.
It’s fire 🔥
Awesome car. But it’s literally a small supercharger Ross bro
It’s in a 1200kg VL power to weight wins
Bro thats tuff as fck ❤🎉🇦🇺
She’s as tuff as anything on the street 😈💪
Holes Oil Leaks Dents Engine kNocks HOLDEN
Hope our luck doesn’t end now
🔥🔥
🔥💪
Look cool.but literally like driving around in a coke can. Carpark Bingle can break your legs in a vl 😂😂
No safety in old cars 😂
Wheels look way out of proportion IMHO. But what beast otherwise.
Grab handle 😂, it's called a shit strap 😲
😂😂😂
Your telling me a VL and a s15 weigh roughly the same ?
Close to it wow.
That doesn't feel right 😅
Older cars with no safety weigh much less than
😂 how Australians show their wealth. Modified family cars
Giving s*** to the RB😮
