The ‘last’ Holden Commodore has sold at auction today for a staggering $750,000 – as US giant General Motors clarifies the mystery behind two identical examples claiming to be the final Australian-made car.
The red Commodore V8 sedan sold by Lloyds Auctions today was the last serial number to be allocated to an Australian-made Holden – and the final vehicle to go through the Adelaide factory’s body assembly and paint shop.
After bidding started at $305,000 the hammer fell this afternoon at $750,000 after almost half an hour of offers received online and via the phone. The sale price is more than 10 times the car's $65,000 showroom cost in 2017.
