Have a look at this vl convertible it looks shocking and its on display
its got mix and matched parts in the interior and the bodys not in the best shape either
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
At least you wouldn't have issues with rust in the rear window. I guess it's on display to show they did have a go at it, and while it doesn't look toooo bad, I can see why they left it as a concept, and kept it hidden back then. Doubt they ruined a genuine Walky to do that but, you'd shoot the pricks if they did.
guys it was a holden built showcar bacvk in the day built by a small team of guys using the holden parts bin. its been covered many times before and wa not made out of a walky (THC) and yes while it may not ber in the best condition it is a piece of holden history and anyone who says it should be at sims metal needs to get over thinking their style is the one and only.
Its not a Walkinshaw, even a quick glance comfirms that, Wrong Colour, 6 Cylinder console, wrong steering wheel, SL Dash; Armrests and Console, Chrome aerial. Not the tidiest thing either.

agreed, i heard it was built by apprentices too... i think it looks ok... a set of FR19 simmons, walky skirts and walky lower rear skirt and a scheel or recaro interior and it would look pretty sweet imo
I have read about this before was ment to be two made from memory.. As SIroller said its part of holdens history and this makes it unique. Is aint the flashiest condition or to the eye. I reckon it looks mint just needs some new rims, paint and lowered, and modern iterrior would bring it up nicely!
whats with the vk indicator stalk ?
heater fan cover is not on, handbrake handle, hi-rise console lid and ash tray, stereo etc are missing lol, nice show car..
that looks like sheit, gotta agree with the sims comments, who cares if its holden history, so are VNs and they should all be scrapped too.

it is no longer a show car, that was over 20 years ago. and have you ever been top the holden museum in echuca? what little profit they do turn would not begin to allow them to restore these cars, at least it is on show to the public and in safe keeping until it cvan get what it deserves.
i agree with the above statements, with a few quick modernising touches it would be great BUT why bother when it is what it is? to do that would only be to destroy what is one of very few surviving holden showcars.
