The question is how many 5 Litre SL's were built. Red Book and Glasses Guide do not list a 5 Litre SL.

No one will ever know.but its more then two lol

I think giant Brandon had a thread on this question? Like a roll call.. Theyre rarer then most models eg sl turbo etc Cheers ---------- Post added 06-01-13 at 09:43 ---------- http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=134351

Yeah and it's low km too!!!

This is my A9Q Limited Edition 2 SL 6 cyl the day I bought it. It's auto (now converted to manual) with factory central locking, tacho dash, highrise console and has seat trim with a combination of exec and berlina fabrics.

Again, doing some severe mining here, I'm wondering if anyone has any contacts for finding out some original build details for a A8S? Holden weren't very helpful saying anything pre 1989 they don't have records for. Thanks

I bought it from the original owners son around 14 years ago. The original owner worked for Holden at the Lang Lang grounds. It was in fairly good unmolested condition in some areas, but had been resprayed in the same dark blue, but debadged. Had tacho dash, but unsure of what it was ordered/built with as an exec or SL? Thanks

Im pretty sure these LE were SL based but got the Berlina tail lights and blackout around the side windows

anymore info on these A9Q's ? i have one the is a factory manual non turbo, in fire brigade red, factory non aircon, factory central locking, interior, paint and any badging has been long gone and build sheet wasn't there.... any info would help cheers.

Does anyone have any pics of the A9Q pack and specifically what wheels it should have come out from factory with? It is a 15 inch option I know but are unsure if just the interceptor style wheels or the Turbo Hubcaps etc. Thanks

A9q is just a 5l yes? if so then yes the standard 15" wheel option for sl exec and berlina turbo and v8 models was the 15" "turbo" hubcap and 15x6 steelies. ceptoirs were 15x6 with the plastic centre caps and the calais had the 15x6 alloys. some early berlinas were fitted with VK Calais rims. I've only ever seen them on 6cyl's and have even seen it on an era magazine car. not sure if they were factory or dealer fitted. but generally early 86 models and all I have seen are berlina 6cyls. ---------- Post added 05-07-17 at 11:59 ---------- note: early 86 cars the turbo and v8 werent released yet so thats probably why I've only seen the vk calais rims on n/a 6 cyls.

No the A9Q is a Dealer pack option that the dealer could option the car up with whatever they wanted etc. In my case mine is a 5.0 and a heap of other options including PH2 15x6 Steel rims as you said so I presume being a 5.0 V8 would have had the same hubcaps as the VL Turbo yeah??

Correct or vk calais rims

Thanks guys, now I need to find some hubcaps then. Do you know anyone that would have any or point me in right direction thanks??

Oh god

Whats that mean, impossible to find??

Would go the VK Calais rims, some VL were released with them
