Wow, i bet you are spewing you wrote it off seeing as it would have been the only car of it's kind ever made!

Firstly, there is no such think as a VL SS Group '1'. Anyone who actually owns one knows that they are in fact a Group 'A' and anyone referring to them as a '1' would be strung up and horse whipped by enthusiasts.

Second of all they came with the good old Holden 304. Again if anyone did indeed own a genuine Group A and transplanted a small block Chev into it you would have angry enthusiasts knocking down your door for vandalising such a rare and collectable car.

Finally, as you mention it was an HSV i will assume you are talking about the Walkinshaw, the colour you claim as 'midnight blue' isn't even blue, it's silver! Panorama silver to be precise, it was the only colour the Walky came out in. Every single Walky owner in the country would know the name of the colour, without exception.

If you are going to pretend you have a car that you know nothing about, at least do a little research to make your story believable! Now i'm off to tell everyone about the day i bagged 4 grade 32's in a day. Honest!
