Description/Extras: Build #624 of just 750 ever produced, this HSV VL SS Group A Walkinshaw is one of the most iconic Australian muscle cars of the 1980s. Finished in the unmistakable Panorama Silver, the model was designed to homologate Holden’s race cars for Group A touring car racing – with its radical body kit earning it the nickname “Plastic Fantastic”.

Under the bonnet is the legendary 5.0L fuel-injected V8, matched to a 5-speed manual gearbox, producing around 180kW – numbers that made it one of the fastest Australian cars of its day. HSV engineered the car with a unique twin-throttle body intake manifold and aggressive aerodynamics, all aimed at giving Holden a competitive edge at Bathurst.

This example, Build #624, is a matching-numbers car and comes complete with its original owner’s manual. It has had just three owners from new, with the last enthusiast owning it for 25 years – a testament to its desirability and collectability.

Today, the Walkinshaw stands not just as HSV’s first hero car, but as a genuine piece of Australian touring car history – a model that cemented the Holden Special Vehicles legacy.
