1987 Holden VL Commodore BT1
A genuine VL BT1 sedan in Police Blue, showing an indicated 323,072 kilometres. Factory-fitted with the 5.0-litre V8, Turbo Hydramatic automatic, and a limited-slip differential. Former South Australia Police specification vehicle confirmed by original body plate reading VL8VK19-BT1.
Description / Overview:
The VL BT1 is the real deal. Body plate says BT1, the factory LSD is still in the diff, and the stripped-down fleet interior tells its own story. Manual windows, column-shift auto, no radio, vinyl-back seats - exactly what you ordered when you were fitting these cars out for pursuit work. Very few of them made it through service in this kind of shape.
This one has been looked after in private hands for a while now - it's running a Victorian club permit and the paint, panels and interior are in genuinely good condition for the mileage. The engine bay is clean and presents well. Non-original wheels have been fitted but the car is otherwise highly original in its specification.
At 323,000 kilometres on a former police V8, buyers should budget for mechanical due diligence. What you get in return is documented BT1 provenance, a factory LSD, and a car that is becoming harder to find by the year. Get under it on a hoist, satisfy yourself on the mechanicals, and bid accordingly.
