About the Holden VB Commodore
The Holden VB Commodore was introduced in 1978 and became the first model in the Commodore family. Developed as a smaller and more fuel-efficient replacement for the Holden Kingswood, the VB combined European-inspired design with Australian engineering to create a vehicle that would become one of the country's most successful automotive platforms.
Available in sedan and wagon body styles, the VB was offered with a range of six-cylinder and V8 engine options. Today, the VB Commodore remains highly sought after by collectors, restorers and Holden enthusiasts looking to preserve an important piece of Australian motoring history.
Common VB Commodore Problems
As VB Commodores are now more than 45 years old, restoration and maintenance often involve addressing a number of age-related issues.
- Rust and corrosion in guards, sills, floor pans, boot floors, plenum chambers and lower body sections.
- Cooling system issues including radiator deterioration, water pump wear and ageing hoses.
- Suspension wear affecting bushes, ball joints, steering components and shock absorbers.
- Electrical faults caused by ageing wiring, switches, connectors and earth points.
- Interior deterioration including dashboards, seat trim, door trims and headlinings.
- Body trim shortages as many genuine mouldings and exterior trim pieces become increasingly difficult to source.
Quality replacement parts play an important role in keeping VB Commodores on Australian roads and preserving their originality during restoration projects.
