What build number is yours? I used to own #56 which was bermuda blue (bought it new from Armstrong Holden).

Mine was a great car, never had a single problem with it. They were the very last HSV sedan with the old 304 Holden motor. I used to take mine to track days (back in the days of Lakeside) and did motorkhana's, skid pan days and it just kept coming back for more.

They made 120 of them in total and they only came in Red, Blue and Silver. The wheels were the same as off the old VR GTS. The interior was very low rent, but then again I picked mine up for just over $50,000 so you can't expect much for that sort of money. (Just look at any "SS")

Most times HSV didnt build the Numbers in Order

so you'd need to confirm that VIN is for build 131 coz the chassis number is 1459931 (or 459931) but thats chassis number and not HSV's build number

Yes just give HSV a call and they can confirm the build and tag numbers.
