1986 Holden Commodore VL Sedan - Gold - 259,031km - 3.3L V6 Automatic
Overview
The 1986 Holden Commodore VL represents a significant chapter in Australian automotive history. This generation marked the transition from the VK to the more refined VL platform, introducing updated styling, improved interior appointments, and a more sophisticated chassis. The VL Commodore sedan was the backbone of Australian family motoring through the late 1980s, offering practical four-door configuration with genuine comfort and reliability. This particular example is a genuine Australian-delivered vehicle, manufactured during the final year of the VL generation before the VC update arrived.
This gold sedan presents as a solid, honest example of the era. The exterior paint holds reasonable gloss across all visible panels with the characteristic patina consistent with a vehicle of this age and mileage. The body panels are straight with no obvious signs of major accident repair or structural disturbance. The four-door sedan configuration provides practical family transport, and the overall stance and proportions remain true to the original design intent. Chrome trim and badging are present and legible. The wheels are fitted with period-appropriate tyres showing visible tread.
At the current market guide of AUD $3,500 to $5,500 for comparable VL Commodores in this condition, this represents fair value for a running, driving classic Australian sedan. The 3.3-litre V6 engine paired with automatic transmission is the sensible, everyday specification that made these cars popular fleet and family vehicles. For buyers seeking an accessible entry point into classic Australian motoring without the premium pricing of earlier XB or XC models, or the complexity of turbocharged variants, this VL offers straightforward appeal.
Condition
The exterior paint is clean and presents well in the gold finish, with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge consistent with highway use. Panel gaps are even and body lines are straight. The interior trim shows age-appropriate wear with the tan and cream fabric upholstery displaying the expected patina from 259,000 kilometres of use. The steering wheel shows typical wear on the grip areas. The dashboard is intact with no obvious cracks or damage visible. The instrument cluster is functional with the odometer reading clearly visible at 259,031 kilometres. The front and rear seats are present and structurally sound. The carpeting shows wear consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage. Climate control and basic instrumentation are present. The interior door panels are intact with original trim and handles functional.
