Beautifully Restored 1985 VK SS Replica - Please note the car has done 180k km not the engine and the car is a 5 speed which I couldn't select when entering car details in drop down.
This stunning 1985 VK SS replica has been meticulously restored and maintained, with no rust and a straight, clean body. Painted in 2018 in and always kept garaged, it presents beautifully inside and out. All modifications are mod plated, so it’s ready to enjoy with confidence.
Powered by a rebuilt 304 fuel-injected engine from a Senator, paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox, this car drives like new. The interior is neat and well-kept, reflecting the same care and attention the rest of the vehicle has received. Registered until 12/04/2026.

VT brake calipers with braided lines (front & rear)
VL V8 diff with 3.08 gears
Shortened VN V8 tail shaft
