Mine was a TC 1600cc.. Cost about $800 to fix that motor but it wasn't the same so we replaced it with a used, Which went in a couple of years doing timing chains.
Mums Gemini was just a dud lemon..

The old TC was very nice handling with 3" lowering and 16" rims, Bloody worked motor loved it, But in the wet 360's with ease..
But i was dragging the Commodores and Falcons of the day easy.
Stood out massive Kermit Green!.


Since we are selling cars, BTW I'm not selling this..
But..
Easy to work on, Parts easy to source, Takes a beating, Good power, Ease to drive, Long but not as wide as larger cars.
Better Fuel econemy then given credit for...
450 Average local, 600+ highway with ease.

If you don't care for looks and just care for driving this is your car..
My sisters BF has a VN Exec, POS! It's dirty, Smells Soft saggy suspension rattles ticks slaps, But drives perfect still, And runs on Gas, And he just uses it for the car to get around and not care about, He's had it for years and he treats it like a dirty dog!. But it goes from A to B to C.

HOLDEN COMMODORE VP II Executive 1993 details - CarPoint Australia

And no my mothers VP isn't a ugly POS.
