It seemed like a time when the legendary Peter Brock could do no wrong and he, in partnership with Holden, was building a string of very desirable cars.
As Dave Morley comments in a feature on the closely-related Blue Meanie: “Even a bog-stock Commodore SL with the optional 308 V8 was a bit of a superstar back then. But it was a distinct also-ran compared with any Brock car, of course, including the previous VK-based efforts from Brock’s HDT skunkworks down in Port Melbourne. Those consisted of the SS and the SS Group 3, and with the Brock-ified engines and general aura of specialness, they were dream machines.”
This example runs an enhanced 5.0lt V8 and four-speed manual transmission.
Claimed to be in excellent condition, it’s located in Melbourne and is on the market at $125,999.
