A serious opportunity to own a genuine 1988 Holden Commodore VL SL Turbo BT1 LW5 Series 2, finished in classic Alpine White and built into a strong, reliable street car with serious performance credentials.

This is a factory BT1 LW5 genuine turbo car, showing 193,000km, and has been extensively built with a RB30 A8 block by Louis Performance, producing an impressive 350rwkW. Backed by a fully built automatic driveline, upgraded diff, quality engine components, and a clean original interior, this VL is the perfect mix of genuine collectability and high-performance street presence.

The body and paint present in great condition and the car is described as rust-free, with the interior remaining all original and in pristine condition. Sitting on 15-inch interceptors with VL Turbo hubcaps, it keeps that tough, period-correct BT1 look while packing serious power underneath.
