HDT Brock Commodores Race Of Champions - YouTube

I have seen one of these 'race of champion' vehicles offered for sale; they ask a heft 50-100% premium over a 'regular' model.

Does anyone know if the race of champion cars raced with a rollcage?

From memory they had an Aluminium "cage" of sorts. Not sure I'd like to trust them to save me in a shunt when you consider how piddly they were.

2X VB prototypes?? Are they accounted for? Colour blue one of them? Can you provide the history..? Keen to learn about this history. .., as I can see some recent interest also!!
I enjoy your knowledge, and obvious love for these early model Coms!!
Regards,

Its a great pity not much info is out there these days. It has taken me years of looking into SL/E Commodores. And still learning myself.

I contacted Holden to try and get some info about the VB; unfortunately, one thing the Blue Oval does have over the General is that their archived info is much more comprehensive. Eg. You can get in touch with sources who can tell you, for a fee, the number of your model, trim level, options and colour, for example. OTOH - GM-H destroyed most records from the period 1978-1989, the operator told me. Anything we have now is based on what dealers had, workshop manuals, magazines catalogues and brochures. Little snippets do come to light, like that option pack description shared a couple of pages ago. Doing my own research, it was interesting to see from original newspaper stories (SMH archives) how the Commodore was received etc. 'About time spares' has a good repository of dealer info and memrobilia but they charge a crapload, eg. $80 a 2 ring binder.......

I found this trolling forums and the internet while looking for info on my 121 Pack, I am unsure how accurate the info is but from what I can see it seem to be fairly reliable. What I found follows...

Bertie Street i say...

 

[Vc 121]

Yea, Bertie Street. A friend with a Brock found it. It might help others with their options. I would still like to try and find a copy of a Holden of the VC optopn packs like the VB one to add to the paperwork with the vehicle.

 

[SL/ENUT]

You won't find any of that info. Its only what dealers got or Holden plants got hold of.

 

[c2105026]

So....vinyl roof option.
Anyone got one? Seen one?
Its listed in my brochure but not in the parts catalogue.

 

[SL/ENUT]

I've seen a few, not the best looking thing on a Commodore. Gotta feeling they were fitted by dealers, not factory.
