A 1985 Holden Commodore has become the most valuable Australian-built car to sell at auction. It is quite a special one though.
A 1985 HDT Holden Commodore VK Group A SS once owned by racing legend Peter Brock has just become the most valuable Australian-built road-legal car, selling at auction for a remarkable AU$1,057,509 (NZ$1,133,814) with 7.5 per cent buyers premium of AU$79,313 on top, just beating the AU$1,050,000 record set by a rare HSV Maloo GTSR W1 that sold recently. The previous records for Australian-made road cars were AU$1.01 million for a Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III sold at auction in February 2021 and $1.03 million paid for a Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III in June 2018.
