Australian Muscle Car Sales

With the VP Commodore in 1992, HSV reintroduced the GTS brand for the first time into their model range since 1977 and Ford reinvigorated the GT model with the EB GT Falcon, a hiatus of nearly 20 years. So two of the most famous street/racing breeds in Australian motoring were back on the roads. For sale is an excellent example of HSVs VP GTS. One of only 130 built. For sale from our Sydney Showroom.

Basically the son of the VN Group A, only 130 VP HSV GTS's were ever built. This time, more as an executive cruiser than a car built to fulfill Group A racing requirements. The VP GTS was available in only three colours - Anthracite Grey, Maranello Red and Alaskan White. Of these, only 78 examples were built in Anthracite Grey. Visually, the VP GTS body kit closely resembled the VN Commodore SS Group A with the same front and rear bumpers and side skirts, but gained the HSV Senator 5000i’s front grill and boot spoiler.

Under the bonnet, the VP GTS’ engine block was shared with the VN and VL Group As, with specific pistons, roller rockers, larger lifter bores, as well as D port heads and various Group A derived parts among others. Rated at 200kW, the VP GTS saw triple digits on the speedo in 7.45 seconds from a standstill. The Manual gearbox option was gone and in its place is the trusty 4 speed T-700 automatic gearbox mated to the higher 3.27 ratio rear end. This car was designed specifically as a Grand Tourer, for the executive target audience along the lines of the previous and successful SV5000 model.

For sale is VP GTS Build No. 48/130 in stunning Anthracite Grey with factory Devonish trim. Originally sold through Brian Kelly Holden in Cardiff, NSW, this GTS has covered a genuine log booked 220,209 klms from new and presents in immaculate condition throughout. The GTS is supplied with the original log books, owners manuals, HSV Certificate of Authenticity and the HSV Compendium.

The paint is in excellent condition with all the GTS badging in place and the interior looks extremely presentable including the 3-spoke HSV badged Momo steering wheel, seat bolsters, carpet and hood lining. The GTS features factory Cruise control, climate control AC, central locking, power mirrors and windows and Dolby radio-cassette, vehicle security system and trip computer. GTS #48 is fitted with the optional electric sun-roof. The current owner has had the sunroof reconditioned by Webasto Sunroofs and a receipt for these works and a lifetime guarantee is included.

Mechanically the car has been fully serviced and the original matching numbers engine has never been out of the car. The T-700 auto transmission was teconditioned at 203,000 Klms and a receipt for the works is also supplied. The GTS is fitted with HSVs premium brake package featuring 327mm rotors with Corvette C4 callipers on the front and 280mm ventilated discs on the rear.

The car is riding on the genuine 17 X 8 inch 5-spoke ROH alloy wheels, wrapped in near new 235/45 ZR17 Dunlop SP Sport tyres. The original spare is in the boot and is fitted with a new Dunlop SP Sport tyre.

A three owner car, the current owner purchased the HSV in 2017 from the second owner who had the GTS from 2002. This is a very rare and desirable HSV ready for its next lucky owner.

The GTS is club registered and is located in our Sydney Showroom for your inspection. (Ref: 6253)
