This 1980 Holden Commodore VB is a V8-converted example finished in Royal Turquoise over a tan vinyl interior. It is powered by a 253ci Holden V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, with the odometer currently displaying 183,840 km (indicated, true mileage unknown). Originally believed to be an SL model, this VB presents in clean cosmetic condition and benefits from recent mechanical and cosmetic attention.
Now with its third owner, the car was purchased by the current custodian in 2023 and has since been garage-kept and regularly serviced. Routine maintenance has been carried out by a qualified mobile mechanic, with oil changes performed every 5,000 km. A transmission service was completed two weeks ago.Recent mechanical work includes a new ignition coil, drop base air filter, new distributor, and a brand new sports exhaust and muffler. The car is said to be rust-free, and a full exterior respray was completed three months ago, including the engine bay and underside, which also received rust protection treatment.
Cosmetically, the Royal Turquoise paint presents in fresh condition, and the engine bay appears tidy and well maintained. The body retains its factory lines with a few minor dents visible, as noted in the photos. The tan vinyl interior remains original but would benefit from further detailing to bring it up to the standard of the exterior.
There are no known mechanical faults, and no major repairs or accident damage reported. The car retains a clean and largely original presentation apart from the engine conversion and upgraded exhaust system, making it a compelling cruiser or base for further refinement.
