1983 Holden VH/K Commodore Wagon - Variety Bash Veteran
1983 Holden VH Commodore four-door station wagon finished in Blue. Right-hand drive, rear-wheel drive. Powered by a 202ci (3.3-litre) inline-six petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, converted from the factory 3-speed Trimatic automatic. Odometer indicating 201,197 kilometres. Seating capacity modified to three occupants under Queensland Transport modification approval (July 2010).
Description / Overview:
This is not a standard VH wagon. This is a fully outfitted Variety Bash car that has completed five events, with documented charity rally history and a build-out that represents serious money and serious preparation for remote outback travel. The amount of high-end gear fitted to this car far exceeds what the base vehicle is worth on its own. Somebody has spent the time, the money and the effort to get this right, and the car has been fully serviced and is ready to go again.
The 202ci inline-six has been retained and paired with a 5-speed manual conversion for better highway cruising and outback flexibility. The tan interior is in honest condition for its age, headlining is solid with no sag, and sills and door shuts appear structurally sound with no visible rust. All three compliance plates (ADR plate, Holden ID plate and Queensland Transport modification plate) are present and VINs are consistent throughout.
The Bash build is comprehensive: dual battery system with REDARC battery management, UHF CB radio, LED lightbar on the roof rack, spotlights, fog lights, work lights, amber beacons and an 8-switch auxiliary panel to manage it all. Heavy-duty bull bar with Hella driving lights up front. Full-length steel roof rack with aluminium ladder and rolled awning. Custom dual spare wheel carrier at the rear carrying two full-size spares on matching all-terrain tyres. Maxtrek all-terrain tyres on all four corners. Aftermarket Speco tachometer with shift light and auxiliary gauges for water temp and alternator volts. Axis DAB+ head unit. Fire extinguisher fitted. Five Bashes completed. All it needs is a team name and a fundraising target.
