2003 Holden Commodore VY SS Single Cab Utility - Hothouse Green - 185,780km - 7.5 Litre V8 Manual
Overview
The 2003 Holden Commodore VY SS utility represents a significant chapter in Australian automotive history. The VY generation (2002-2004) marked the final evolution of the locally-built Commodore before the transition to the VE platform, and the SS badge carried genuine performance credentials. This single-cab utility variant is a rare find in the modern market, combining the raw appeal of a V8-powered work vehicle with the collectability of a modern classic. The VY SS nameplate is increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors recognising the cultural significance of Holden's final generation of locally-assembled performance vehicles.
This specific example presents in Hothouse Green, a striking factory colour that commands attention. The exterior paint holds good gloss across all visible panels with minor stone chipping on the bonnet leading edge consistent with a working vehicle's history. Panel alignment is straight and even, with no evidence of major accident repair. The alloy wheels are fitted with matching tyres showing moderate tread depth. The utility tray bed is in sound condition with a hard tonneau cover fitted, protecting the load area. The overall presentation reflects honest use rather than neglect, with the vehicle maintaining its original factory proportions and stance.
Mechanically, this VY SS is powered by the 7.5 Litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, a naturally aspirated configuration producing genuine performance from displacement and engineering. The engine bay presents cleanly with no visible modifications or aftermarket components. A 6-speed manual transmission provides direct driver engagement, a specification increasingly rare in the modern market and highly valued by enthusiasts. The rear-wheel-drive configuration and manual gearbox combination delivers the authentic driving experience that defines this generation of Australian performance vehicles. At 185,780 kilometres on the odometer, the vehicle shows genuine use but remains within reasonable parameters for a 20-year-old utility.
Condition
The interior presents with black leather trim showing wear consistent with the vehicle's age and kilometres. The driver's seat bolster shows creasing from use, and the steering wheel exhibits patina appropriate to a working vehicle. The dashboard is intact with no cracks visible, and the instrument cluster displays analogue gauges with green-coloured dial faces, a distinctive VY-generation design element. The manual gear selector is a small round knob with leather gaiter boot, positioned on the centre console. Climate controls are present and functional in appearance. The cabin retains its original factory configuration with no major modifications visible.
The engine bay is tidy and well-maintained, with fluid levels visible and accessible. No evidence of major leaks or corrosion is apparent. The battery is in good condition, and all visible hoses and connections appear sound. The hard tonneau cover protects the utility tray, which shows minor surface oxidation consistent with age but no structural damage or perforation.
