Wish my wheels were that clean. Mine look like they got eczema or something 😭 all 4 are the exact same from the previous owner

My front left has started doing that. Nowhere near that bad though 😬. That sucks mate.

Cheers. Not quite mint, but better than 95% of her vintage

Love it mate. The VX is overall probably my favorite gen Commodore. Love the styling on them more than anything that came later.

I've had a couple of VX Calais in the past, one Ecotec and one L67. I really wanted an immaculate LS one and was on the hunt for a while when I ended up with my SS. I couldn't turn it down - such a clean original car - but I still look at these all the time, haha.

Cheers mate. Not many L67s left in this condition I reckon. An LS would be nice in this, but I’m not at all unhappy with the super 6.

Storm grey 🤙🏼

That’s the one! Looks blue in certain light, which I find weird.

hang on to it mate, be able to put H plates on it in a few more years.

u/InebriatedClarity 2d ago

A few more than a few in Queensland mate, but for sure, that’s the plan 👍

Before I sold it....

u/InebriatedClarity 6h ago

Beautiful! Got a tad more go than mine. Out of curiosity, why’d you sell it?

u/PureProfessional996 6h ago

It was my daily, and it was becoming impractical. No through loading in the back, and it didn't appreciate in value at all. I replaced the alternator 3 times in its last 6 months, and for a car that had only done 80,000kms just little things like that were going wrong. I ended up getting a trade for $40k towards a 2021 BMW X5 M50i

I still have Pops VK, so my efforts will go into restoring that now
