With local car manufacturing a thing of the past, eighties Aussie muscle cars start to look like an interesting proposition for collectors.
In Holden history, the VH represented a busy time for the company. In a story covering the series we noted: “With this generation, we’re into the third iteration of the Holden Commodore, the VH – following on from VB and VC. The product was definitely maturing by this stage, with numerous tweaks along the way and an increasing tendency for Holden to split out new variants as it chased specific market niches.
“For example, the VH series (1981-84) saw the return of the SS nameplate, while the Vacationer (which emerged with the VC) series was still on offer.
“Also revised for this series was the luxurious SL/E, raising the presentation bar considerably and repositioning the brand as a potential upmarket contender.”
The SS shown here is running an enhanced 5.0lt V8 with four-speed manual transmission.
Located near Melbourne, it’s on the market for $80,000.
