The motor is a VN-headed 355 stroker built by James Melmoth of Melway Competition Engines. “It’s a Holden motor, a Trimatic transmission and a BorgWarner rear end from a later-model Commodore.” “I wanted it all Holden,” explained Ballarat local Matt, who owns the car. It’s no LS-swapped Commodore either this one remains all iron lion under that almost pristine exterior. Yet in the hands of mates Matt Forbes and Paul Rogers, this bought-from-a-little-old-lady 1980 VC Commodore SL was gunning for 10s at Drag Challenge 2018. The door trims, dash and carpet would bring a smile to the face of any early-Commodore aficionado. The foam-backed seat covers have lost little of their beige-y, browny, stripy protection since bought from Kmart. THE deep red paint is almost as lustrous as the day it left the dealership in 1980.
