The case for and against
The first car HSV ever built, 750 made, all in one colour, with direct Group A homologation lineage. The shape is unmistakable and the story is central to Australian motorsport. Genuine documented cars are scarce and trade rarely, but two build-numbered examples have now sold at open auction, so the model finally has price discovery rather than an estimate.
The replica market is the problem. A well-built Walkinshaw replica made $86,000 at auction in August 2026, and replicas appear at Australian auction far more often than genuine cars. Without a documented build number and HSV plate, a buyer is paying homologation money for a body kit, and the roughly $130,000 gap between the replica result and the genuine ones is the largest verification risk in this library. The two genuine results also point down: a better-documented, lower-distance car made $209,000 in June 2026 against $221,000 for a lesser one in August 2023.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
'NO GENUINE SALE ON RECORD'. That was wrong, and it was wrong while a $221,000 result sat in the sales array below it as an undated one-line entry.

BUILD #349 OF 750: $221,000 on 22 August 2023, Mona Vale NSW, 59,630 kilometres, three owners, believed one of only ten fitted with a dealer-fitted sunroof, and carrying a HIGHER-LIFT CAMSHAFT that may or may not be a factory option. BUILD #285 OF 750: $209,000 on 26 June 2026, St Huberts Island NSW, 45,764 kilometres, third owner for twenty-one years, garaged since 2005 and driven about 1,205 kilometres in that ownership, HSV Certificate of Authenticity, nine dated services running back to 2,587 kilometres in 1989.
At the 40,000 kilometres this record expects and 2.8 per cent per 10,000, the 2023 car normalises to about $233,900 and the 2026 car to about $212,400 - a 9.2 per cent fall over thirty-four months, or roughly 3.3 per cent a year.
Twenty-one years with one owner, a Certificate of Authenticity, unbroken service history from 1989, against a 2023 car with a non-standard camshaft and an unverified sunroof claim. A better car making less money three years later understates nothing.
Which is the 2026 sale normalised, and it was previously carrying a value BELOW both counted results.
Seven82Motors sold a 1988 HSV VL Walkinshaw REPLICA for $86,000 plus premium in August 2026, in a sale that also included a VK HDT Blue Meanie replica at $76,000 and a VS GTSR replica at $50,500. A replica at $86,000 against documented cars at $209,000 to $221,000 prices the build plate at roughly $130,000. Any lot described as a Walkinshaw without a build number should be treated as a replica until proven otherwise - the Falcon GT-HO Phase III shows the same pattern, a replica at $98,000 against genuine cars at $488,888.
'one of only ten with a dealer-fitted sunroof' is the seller's belief, not a documented figure, and no HSV record supports a ten-car sunroof count. It is recorded because it was said, not because it is established.

The evidence on this model is thin and the report says so on its cover. Read a complete one on a real car first. Seventeen sections, no account, nothing to pay.
One line of email when this desk publishes a call on a Holden Commodore SS Group A SV, or records a new Australian sale of one. Nothing else, no schedule, and on a quiet model you may hear nothing for months, which is itself worth knowing about a car you are chasing.
