LOOKING FOR A PIECE OF AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CAR HISTORY?

Here is a rare opportunity to purchase a genuine cherished iconic HSV VL SS Group A Walkinshaw. This much-loved Walkinshaw is in excellent condition inside and out. Build number 243 of just 750 examples, it is believed to be one of only 10 specified with a dealer fitted Holden sunroof. The odometer shows a modest 137,951 km from new.
