danposs86 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Well, I was looking for a Falcon, but the search was going on far too long, and this came up so got it. Its a Holdon Commodore VS 'Wagon, Executive model. It has a 3.8 V6 engine with an auto box and RWD. When new it had 147 kilowatts, which is 197 hp. However it has done just over 290,000kms so a few horses might have bolted. Drives really nice and the gearbox changes so smoothly, going to be a great cruiser. Some photos, not touched it yet except check fluids and the likes. Plans are to give it a good wash and find a roof rack for it. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs352.ash2/63243_10150362976915641_509485640_16199867_4131622_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs773.ash1/166320_10150362976960641_509485640_16199869_3351378_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs755.ash1/164647_10150362976980641_509485640_16199871_4161817_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs752.ash1/164331_10150362977000641_509485640_16199872_658889_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs755.ash1/164618_10150362977055641_509485640_16199874_1388986_n.jpg I will add more photos over time, however the car wont change much, but the scenery will.

shawdreamer Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 see right here is why using this site in Oz really wont work. you'll only get insomniacs and pissheads responding...... oh and me who is both drunk, an insomniac and suffering chronic Thyroxine poisoning ......aren't you lucky? So you've chose the vauxhall side of the force aye? suppose it makes sense given that even tho vauxhall and ford are close rivals over their, vauxhalls (holdon) do seem to have more followers. weren't tempted to go native with a ute? maybe a Holdon SS (which would be my choice if I had too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
