Description:

1988 Holden Commodore VL Executive Station Wagon - Venetian Red - 220,045km - 3.0L Inline 6 - Exceptional Original Condition



VL Commodore wagons do not come up often, and they almost never come up looking like this. The cabin of this 38-year-old family wagon is in a condition that will genuinely surprise you.



The VL Executive Wagon

The VL Commodore was produced from 1986 to 1988 and represented a significant engineering step forward for Holden, adopting the Nissan-sourced RB30E 3.0-litre fuel-injected inline six-cylinder engine. The wagon body style was produced in relatively limited numbers and has become increasingly collectible as survivors dwindle. This example, finished in Venetian Red (paint code 1F 075-D) with a cream interior (trim 65I), is a May 1988 build as confirmed by the firewall plate. Engine code LF1, automatic transmission VL4.



The exterior presents in honest condition for its age. Venetian Red paint holds good gloss across the bonnet, doors, and wagon body, with the dark grey lower body trim and chrome highlights all intact. Panel alignment is straight and even, with no evidence of significant accident repair. The rear carries Commodore Executive badges and a factory-fitted tow bar. Headlights show age-related yellowing, typical of this era of clear-lens headlamp. Overall the body reads as well-preserved original.



The interior is the standout of this car. The cream cloth trim across all seats, the full-length door trims, the dashboard, and the cargo area are in a condition that suggests very light use. Factory radio/cassette and climate control units are present and complete. The instrument cluster is clear and readable, showing 220,045km. The automatic shifter gate (P-R-N-D-2-1) operates correctly. Factory carpet throughout is clean. Cargo area is large, flat, and unsoiled, with the factory cream trim panels intact. The rear seat folds flat as intended. The tow bar is fitted and functional.



The engine bay presents as a well-maintained unit. The RB30E inline-six sits centrally in a clean bay with fluid levels appearing appropriate and no visible leaks.
