A 1988 Holden Commodore that’s never been registered has sold for $340,000 at auction in New South Wales.

The VL Commodore Walkinshaw Group A SS was bid on by 66 car enthusiasts over the weekend, 9 News reported.

‘The demand for these cars is out of this world,’ said Ashley Burns, Principal of auction house Burns & Co where the vehicle was sold.

‘It’s a really significant car. When you think of motorsport in Australia, you think of Peter Brock and Walkinshaw. I think it’s the best example of this vehicle on the planet,’ said Burns.

‘Given that this is a vehicle that’s never been registered, with just over 1300 kilometres on the clock, it’s barely gone the distance between Sydney and Melbourne and back.’

The silver Commodore, which is in near perfect condition, features a five-litre V8 engine and a five-speed manual gearbox.

Burns said the demand for the car was because there are no other models in such good condition.

The car was originally bought by the D’Alberto family, who owned a number of car dealerships across Australia.
