1987 Holden Commodore VL Turbo Sedan - Yellow - 89,322km - Manual 5-Door
Overview
The VL Commodore Turbo represents a significant chapter in Australian automotive history. Launched in 1986, the VL generation marked Holden's transition to a more modern platform, and the turbocharged variant delivered genuine performance credentials that made it a genuine contender in the local performance market. This 1987 example is a five-door sedan finished in striking yellow, a colour choice that demands attention and reflects the bold character of the era. With a manual transmission and five seats, this is a proper driver's car from an era when turbocharging was still novel in the Commodore lineup.
This particular VL Turbo presents as a solid, honest example of late-1980s Holden engineering. The yellow paint holds good gloss across the visible panels, with the characteristic patina consistent with a vehicle of this age and mileage. The five-door sedan body is straight and presents well, with panel gaps appearing even and consistent. The interior shows age-appropriate wear to the upholstery and trim, with the dashboard and steering wheel reflecting honest use over the past three decades. The manual gearbox and turbo engine combination remains the original specification, a genuine appeal for enthusiasts seeking authentic period performance. At 89,322 kilometres on the odometer, this is a genuinely low-mileage example for a 1987 model, suggesting careful ownership and storage over the years.
The VL Turbo occupies a unique position in the classic Holden market. These turbocharged variants are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate the engineering innovation and performance of the period. Values for well-presented examples have been climbing steadily as the VL generation gains recognition as a significant milestone in Australian motoring. This yellow five-door manual represents genuine value for a buyer seeking an authentic, low-kilometre example of Holden's turbo era.
