The front spoiler, open-grille and low-line rear wing take you back to a time when carbs where controlling your cars diet, not yours.
Formula Blue is probably the most popular colour for the VK Commodore, made famous by one Mr P. Brock who introduced the colour on his SS Group A VK way back in 1984. Forgetting about the reworked bonnet for the time being, the body and paint (complete with the associated decals) is a tribute to those HDT cars from back in the day. The front spoiler, open-grille and lowline rear wing take you back to a time when carbs where controlling your cars diet, not yours. This car had already been fitted with the sunroof when Justin became the owner and the wildly shaped bonnet was all but completed too – a necessity to feed bucket loads of air into the two turbo’s jutting proudly from the engine bay. As they say, if you’ve got them, flaunt them! Originally, the wheels were black, but the switch to white (with white carbon-fibre centres) makes them much more obvious and really shows off the width of the rears!
Like the body colour, the interior is also a throwback to the Brock/HDT days with the Scheel interior fitted to the VK. The blue/grey trim flows through to the original door trims with the factory dash , console and steering wheel from the Group A also fitted. But that’s not to say it’s entirely a resto inside. The manual shifter is nowhere to be seen, and in its place sits a Hurst Quarter-stick attached to the ‘Glide underneath the tunnel. Back before electronics were used run your engine, Brock would have had no need for a MicroTech digital dash – but Justin does, so its mounted in front of where the factory analogue dials used to be in full view. Overall, the interior isn’t a bad place to be on a regular basis. 78
