My Sister and Brother in law bought a VC SL new in 1981 from Harrison Holden in Chelsea VIC. Same colour scheme, but a 253 trimatic. They now drive a black 2004 CV8 Monaro. It would pay to check the distributor drive gear on your VC, as the plastic ones failed regularly.
yes thanks for the tip: I'm aware of the timing gear and dizzy drive issues with these but no-one/cars I have personally known since the 80s has ever suffered from it yet. But if it happens - I'll know what it is!
My first car was a VB sle straight 6 blue. In jade green. Was beautiful. Cept the engine was a gutless wonder. I have dreams of doing an EV sleeper of one in the future. We'll see how that goes EY.
if t was a VB SL/E with the 3.3 six, it was quite a rare unit as the 4.2 V8 was the standard equipment. yes. I' d like to investigate building an electric one too
Great to see an update. Please keep them coming Mate. Enjoying these builds.
yeah we're presenting these vids every second month... sorry we can't do them quicker
Can’t wait for next instalment, good job
The “oops where did that go” at the 3.30 mark is standard practice when I work on a vehicle.
Thanks for the update GT.
thanks for watching!
Glad you saved it.👍
You are doin a great job Mr GT, on a great Aussie car
I read that 25% of VB customers chose a V8. With VC customers, it was only 8%. The VH V8 take up rate was about half way between those two.
Bit of useless info there for you to ponder.
Possible... but I reckon highly unlikely for a few reasons. First: there was a fuel crisis (including fuel rationing) on at the time and 'Four Cylinder' was the hot new term for the car sales game, a bit like how 'SUV' is a buzz-word now. Second; Holden couldn't manufacture much more than about 10,000 V8s per year so probably couldn't have satisfied one-quarter of VB orders (25K) from its little V8 machine shop. Third; as I recall, there was never one-in-four V8 Commodores being driven around during the 1980s and 90s. Then, as now, V8s were one in 10 or one in 15 cars that you saw in Coles New World carparks, or for sale in the Trading Post or the Saturday papers. The V8 option rate has always been stronger for top-spec cars - and the 4.2 was standard for SL/E - but the rumour is that of 96,000 Commodores, just 100 5.0-litre SLE manuals were created which casts a shadow over the "25 percent" theory. But these are just my thoughts, observations and conclusion and as with all my work/views, I'm happy to learn more from facts/evidence
Any new vids on this coming out soon 🤞?
yeah soon... we relaxed a bit over summer but back at work now :)
