Holden Commodore/Calais VB, VC, VH, VK, VL (Exc.Turbo)
Not many years ago we were mourning the disappearance of early Commodores and predicting possible extinction. Happily, people listened and not only are there now more cars in the market but a lot of them are very well kept.

Australia’s oldest Commodores were made 40 years ago but very good VB-VCs still appear regularly and excellent 3.3-litre cars make $15,000, with V8s $10,000 more.
