I don't think a lot of people now remember what a big deal the VL was at the time...it had that long sloping nose, the little kick up at the rear, and that engine! It was light years ahead of the last "black" 3.3 Holden six, even the one with EFI like was fitted to a VK Calais we owned. People just weren't prepared for it. Back to that VK...it looks fantastic! Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't those wheels look too big a diameter for the era? I thought they raced on 15's or 16's back then...? Interesting to note that this was a car that was dynamically good enough to have won the premier racing event in Australia, and that there are Hyundais and Honda Civics running around the streets now with bigger spoiler kits, rear wings and wheels on them...for some reason...

First time I saw a Walkinshaw, I thought it had a mini hot tub/spa on the boot.

VNs are Horn. And by far the best and most awesome Commodore ever produced.
