1985 Holden VK Commodore Calais V8 - Silver - 260,327km - 5.0 Litre V8 Automatic - Full HDT 333-Style Tribute Specification
1985 Holden VK Commodore Calais, 4-door sedan, 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, 4-speed automatic, rear-wheel drive, 260,327km, 5 seats.
Description
The HDT SS 333 is one of the most iconic names in Australian motoring history, and this 1985 VK Commodore Calais has been built to honour that legacy with a full period-correct 333-style specification. The build plate confirms: VK8VX19-A33, body number 179598-A, built May 1985 at Fishermans Bend, with the LV2 5.0-litre V8 engine and M140 4-speed automatic transmission. That A33 suffix on the model code confirms Calais specification from the factory.
What sets this car apart from a standard VK Calais is the complete HDT 333-style body package: louvred bonnet with functional hood scoop, deep front air dam with HDT-style pinstripe detailing, full side skirts, large rear spoiler, and the signature 19-inch HDT Aero alloy wheels. The SS badges front and rear and the HDT-style bootlid sticker complete the period look. In silver, the silhouette is exactly what Peter Brock fans remember from the early 1980s touring car era. The silver paint holds good gloss across all panels with even panel gaps and no obvious accident damage.
Inside, the VK Calais digital dash is one of the most distinctive instrument displays of the era, and this one is confirmed working. The green LED display reads 260,327km. The diamond-stitch grey velour seats front and rear are in very good condition for the age and mileage. An aftermarket MOMO steering wheel replaces the factory unit, and an aftermarket Pioneer head unit has replaced the original stereo. The 5.0-litre V8 engine bay features a chrome aftermarket air cleaner. The boot shows the original green carpet trim. Boot lip rubber trim shows age.
