This 1985 Holden VK Commodore has been through a ground up rotisserie rebuild into one of the best Blue Meanie tributes you will ever see. The car started life as a base model, factory 134 pack V8 VK Commodore which is the ideal base to build a Blue Meanie tribute on.

Starting with the body, the entire car was stripped back to bare metal with any necessary repairs taking place. The body of the car was then professionally repainted in the signature Formula Blue. The car wears the typical Group A trimmings including HDT grille, front bumper, rear spoiler and SS Group A decals. All of the rubbers were replaced with new items during the reassembly. Completing the external look is a set of machine finished 19” HDT Aero wheels wrapped in brand new tyres.

Inside the car has been completely refinished to the same level as the exterior. The whole floor of the car has been sound deadened before the carpet went it. The trim job was completed by WLX auto trimmers. The trim itself is finished in A grade Herringbone felt out of the US. The steering wheel is a genuine Monte Carlo MOMO item and the instrument cluster has been professionally recalibrated. For comfort, the car is fitted with a brand-new air-conditioning system with new lines, hoses, compressor, condenser, and TX valve. The boot is neatly fitted out in a factory style with custom gas struts added to hold it up.

Under the bonnet is the factory, LV2 308ci V8 engine that has been fully rebuilt and upgraded. The engine received a 286 cam as well as new HDT chrome air cleaner. Other items replaced include a new starter motor, alternator, power steering rack and water pump. The engine is paired to the factory M21, four-speed manual transmission and power is fed to the rear wheels through a fully rebuilt 10 bolt Salisbury differential. The suspension in the car has been rebuilt with new springs, shocks, bushes and rubbers. The brakes have been upgraded using VT Clubsport brakes with new discs front and rear. Exhaust gasses are expelled through a brand new 2.5” exhaust system. The whole car was fully rewired with wiring hidden and concealed where possible.

The car presents extremely well everywhere you look, even the engine bay and undercarriage look as good as they would have left the factory. This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase one of the best Blue Meanie tributes in the country and one that even some experts would have a hard time distinguishing from an original.
