Classic HSV VN SS Group A Commodore sold for huge amount

A rare 1990 HSV VN SS Group A Commodore will be auctioned at the Lloyds online auction this Saturday.

The HSV is the 002th out of 302 vehicles, and is expected to sell for 306,000 US dollars, and is expected to sell for more than 500,000 US dollars.

Lee Hames, chief operating officer of Lloyds Auctions, believes that this version will break the record price of $300,000 for HSV VN SS Group A Commodore set for build number 297 earlier this year.

“We auctioned off the same model in April, which broke the world record price in Australia, and we believe that based on the number of inquiries we have received, this #002 under construction may break it again,” Mr. Hames said.

This 5.0-liter V8-powered Australian muscle car is only about 36,000 kilometers on the clock and has only two owners. The current owner has owned this machine since 1994.

The VN SS Group A has the top Australian racing pedigree. The car participated in the Group A racing series in 1991 and 1992.

“This iconic car is a timepiece in the history of Australian motorsports. Because of the importance of this car, serious enthusiasts need to verify it before bidding,” Hames said.

Australian car prices have skyrocketed in the past 12 months.
