1981 Holden Commodore VH SL Wagon (V8) (Auto)

Offered Here Is A Rare And Appealing Example Of The 1981 Holden VH Commodore Vacationer Station Wagon. Factory Fitted With The Sought-after "185" Vacationer Pack, This Long-roof Commodore Is Equipped With The 253ci (4.2-litre) V8 Engine Paired To A Trimatic Automatic Gearbox, Delivering The Kind Of Easy-going Australian V8 Charm That Defined The Era. The Vacationer Option Added Several Desirable Upgrades, Including A Vertical Lift Driver’s Seat, Rear Retractable Seat Belts, Wiper Dwell Control, Passenger Side Mirror, Locking Fuel Cap, Rear Seat Speaker, Dual Exhaust, Tachometer, And Supplementary Oil And Volt Gauges On The Dash Cluster – Making It A Well-appointed And Practical Family Cruiser In Its Day.

Finished In Factory Cameo Yellow, A Pastel Shade That Perfectly Captures The Early-80s Holden Colour Palette, This Example Retains A Period-correct And Highly Appealing Look. Inside, The Original Tanbark Cloth Trim Provides A Classic Contrast And Completes The Authentic Vacationer Presentation. It Runs And Drives, Meaning It Can Be Enjoyed Immediately As A Nostalgic Weekend Wagon, While Offering Plenty Of Scope For Sympathetic Restoration.

As With Many Commodores Of This Generation, Rust Is Present In Some Common Areas, And It Would Be Best Described As A Driving Project Rather Than A Finished Showpiece. That Said, The Combination Of Wagon Body Style, Factory Vacationer Pack, And Genuine V8 Powertrain Ensures Strong Enthusiast Appeal And Long-term Collectability. With Demand For Commodore Wagons Continuing To Rise, Particularly Special Variants Like This, It Represents An Excellent Opportunity For Someone Looking To Secure A Worthwhile Restoration Candidate Or Enjoy A Uniquely Australian Classic In Honest, As-found Condition.
