What moves the price on this model
Condition, history, originality, ownership, delivery and modification multipliers apply to every car in the library. They are applied automatically when an advertisement is analysed, and the schedule is set out once, on the analyser page.
Projected value in five years
The case for and against
The rarest of the Holden Group A road cars at 302 built, with the most exotic driveline, sitting a step below the VL Walkinshaw's price while being scarcer than it. Homologation Holdens have been the strongest single class in the Australian record.
Five published results spanning $103,000 to $266,000, which is a bracket rather than a level: the price depends on which car turns up. Four of the five are more than three years old, and the value carried here sits above the median and the mean of all of them.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
A Durif Red Group A on grey leather, believed one of eleven with the leather option, made $198,000 in Sydney on 18 September with 21,205 kilometres indicated and not warranted, company registered, with the original logbook and purchase paperwork. This record's curve credits that distance with 17 per cent and returns $216,300, so the room paid about 8 per cent under what the odometer alone asks for, on a reading nobody warrants. The value does not move.

302 cars built by HSV in 1990-91 to homologate the VN for touring car racing, with the twin-throttle-body 5.0-litre at a conservative 215kW and the ZF S6-40 six-speed from the Corvette ZR-1 - the first Australian car on 235/45 17s.
Four are Shannons timed-auction sales - build 80 at $103,000 in November 2020, a sedan at $150,500 in Winter 2022, a second sedan at $126,000 in the Spring 2022 sale and build 073 at $266,000 in that same Spring sale - and the fifth is build #37, a single-family car with 166,820km, at $155,000 on Collecting Cars in May 2025. The median is $150,500 and the mean $160,100.
Three of the five lots publish no odometer at all, the one with the highest reading made $155,000 and the one with 10,600 kilometres made $266,000, so the set brackets the model rather than pricing it. It is also positioned against the VL Group A SV in this library, which carries measured evidence and a $200,000 value: the VN is the rarer car (302 against 750) but the VL's Brock-era aura keeps it ahead. Collecting Cars offered build #37 across 2024-25, including an agreed sale that fell through on the buyer's circumstances - a reminder that agreed prices are not completed ones.
Build number provenance, unmodified driveline and kilometres - the spread between a 27,000km car and a 167,000km car is most of the price.
A build-number-37 Durif Red car in single-family ownership since new made $155,000 at Tinbeerwah in May 2025 at 166,820 kilometres - the highest distance in the record and, de-adjusted to the expected 90,000, an implied $170,700. That sits just under the value carried here and is the best support it has.
And it made $190,500 at Albany in August 2024 on 38,916 kilometres with a rebuilt engine making 324kW at the wheels. It is excluded. A two-car run inside a 302-car homologation model is not a market, and this library has just finished learning that lesson on the VS GTS-R build #001.
Build 073, one owner, 10,600 kilometres, $266,000 in November 2022. At 1.2 per cent per 10,000 the odometer term credits it with 9.5 per cent, implying $242,900 - against ordinary cars in the same rooms at $103,000 to $150,500. Preservation on this model is worth far more than distance alone, and no term in this record captures that.
