Hey guys im putting my 225s on the front of vl and putting wider tyres at back What would be the widest i could put in the back with a 7inch rim. Im leaning towards 235 60 15 but i read in a forum you can just fit 245 60 15. Im not going to lower it anymore just want it to look tough with big feet and drop tank. Cheers jason

Cheers jason id say the 235 would be a more common size tyre so id go with that one might be a bit cheaper

Went to Turners Auctions today....Classic Car Auction including a long time Private Collection of Commodores VK Brock...Missing its HDT Tag unfortunately but appears to be a Base SS... VH V8 SLE... Another VH V8 SLE... My pick of the bunch...VK V8 Calais Sedan, I couldn't believe how awesome the leather interior smelt...Like a brand new car And this VQ? V8 Caprice with around 40,000kms...Fresh Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What one did you buy?

Any idea what the reserve was on the VK Calais? looks immaculate.

Dan that base SS it also has the wrong interior,Was it stolen??Did you get any vin numbers from it? Cheers Marty

That was probably the best of the bunch...Guide price was 9-11g (guess reserve was around that) and the top bid was 7g.

Cheers Marty Hmmmm you make a good point actually...I would have noticed that if it were a VL Just doing abit of snooping online and it may have been an Ex Highway Patrol car, then dressed up as an SS. No Power Steering, Calais Dome interior lamp and Strange Speedo? Check this link out...Mick is pretty good on these strange vehicles lol http://www.fastlane.com.au/forums/to...TOPIC_ID=22474 (http://www.fastlane.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22474) Couple more pictures... Interesting...... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bugger I saw these on turners site to and forgot to go. I would have liked to thrown a bid on that two tone vh sle always liked them.

Both VH's had guide prices of 7-9g and both got bids up to 5g. Saddest part about all of these Commodore's is that none of them have been WOF'd/driven since early/mid 90's... Most probably need full brake rebuild's and possibly engine work too Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Boss told me today he was on a vintage car rally in the weekend and there was an old guy who took his VL commodore LE completly original manuel in red with 80,000km on it. Aparently it is in extremely mint conition lives in a huge garage and he has had it since brand new. How rare are these LE vls?

I'm very interested in taking a good look at the VK Calais. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Depends if it is a Blackwells LE or an Ozzie one,Both would be nice to own.But if it is an Ozzie one it would be Very Nice to own. Cheers Marty

I'm very interested in taking a good look at the VK Calais. To be honest I'm not sure... It was a Classic Car Auction which they don't have too often and I'm not sure if they would relist it in a normal auction? Don't quite know how it works. Couple more picture's just to tease you Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks like the dude had a heap of HDT air cleaner decals to get rid of. Cheers Marty

the VK Calais is beautiful, so tidy. Has had a respray/touch up on left front guard though. love the high beam dipper on floor foot rest in the VH, such a good idea. can still buy them.
