RAY ELIA
VN GRPA COMMODORE TRIBUTE
THANKS TO: 2SUS Custom Resprays. Lowes Fabrications. Chubby’sGarage. Darren at Advanced Custom Trim.
Inside, the Commodore never looked so damn good! There are acres of red Nappa leather and suede spread across the four Devonish seats, door trims, headlining, customs centre console and dash. Gone are the factory gauges, with a much more stylish Dakota Digital display added to the facia in a billet surround to compliment the billet steering wheel and surrounds for the speakers in the door trims. The custom trim also extends into the boot area, encompassing the fuel cell. After a long build, Ray unveiled the tough VN, dubbed KING GROUP A to an appreciative crowd at the recent Sydney Hot Rod & Custom Auto Expo at Rosehill Racecourse. There are more show appearances planned, including Killer Rides Live before Ray hits the blacktop – after all, that was its intended use right from the outset!
HSV certainly got the job done with their Group A Version, widely regarded as the toughest of all Group A Commodores. Then Ray Elia come along and took it way past anything HSV could ever imagine. 38
