Sorry to dig up an older thread...But I think this is awesome How rare would one of these be in Wagon form? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-Co...item2c6702348a (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-Commodore-vl-wagon-v8-5L-/190706758794?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item2c6702348a) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

havent purchased yet. im not feeling optimistic about it. its a calais series 2 style cluster with 6cyl redline I was going to ask, what revs does an 8 sit on at say 100 / 110?

Standard V8 (Trimatic, 3.08 Diff, 205/65/15 Tires) sits between 2400-2500rpm at 100k's. I changed my Diff to 2.77 gears and it came down 200-300rpm...Good for cruising Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
