The dates that the VK Commodore was released was 1984 to 1986.
The one that my mate has is a Genuine HDT (Holden Design Team - Race team at that time) tuned 308.

very nice i know someone thats got a '85' EFI 6 cyl but it's bronze in colour, not a bad car.
if he wants it to have more power put the EFI manifold on it it will boost the power alot, i like the VK's one of my fav out of holden range
