2005 Holden Commodore VZ SS - Red - 193,222km - 5.7L V8 Automatic, Rear Wheel Drive
Overview
The VZ Commodore SS represents the final generation of Holden's iconic locally-built performance sedan, and this example showcases the muscular appeal that made the nameplate legendary. Fitted with the LS2 5.7 Litre naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 325kW, this is genuine Australian muscle car heritage. The SS badge carries real weight in the Holden lineage, and this particular vehicle delivers the full package: a proper V8, rear-wheel drive dynamics, and the kind of presence that turns heads at car meets and cruises alike. The VZ generation (2004-2006) was the swansong of Holden's V8 sedan era, making any surviving example increasingly collectible as the market recognises their significance.
This particular Commodore presents in honest condition throughout. The red metallic paint holds good gloss across all panels with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge, consistent with highway use. Panel gaps are even and body lines are straight with no evidence of accident repair. The interior shows age-appropriate wear to the leather seats and dashboard trim, with the driver's bolster displaying typical wear from regular use. The instrument cluster is clear and legible, and the automatic transmission selector operates smoothly through all positions. Wheels are original specification alloys with minor kerb rash on the front passenger unit; tyres are serviceable. The engine bay is clean and well-maintained, with the LS2 V8 presenting with good detail and no obvious fluid leaks or corrosion. The odometer reads 193,222 kilometres, representing genuine highway and suburban use over nearly two decades.
At the current market, a VZ Commodore SS with a genuine LS2 V8 and automatic transmission sits in a strong position. These vehicles have appreciated as enthusiasts recognise their place in Australian automotive history, and the combination of performance, practicality, and increasingly rare local manufacturing makes this a compelling proposition for buyers seeking authentic V8 motoring without the complexity of modern turbocharged systems. The 5.7 Litre naturally aspirated engine is known for reliability and straightforward maintenance, and parts availability remains excellent through the Holden and aftermarket networks.
