“A 1982 V8 Commodore SS built by Holden New Zealand and Peter Brock.”

Those are the words of Karl Shields, who is selling the former race car, which as he tells 1 NEWS was “one of only 30 built, for racing only. Holden needed to win on Sunday, sell on Monday.”

Shields estimates the car is worth between $85,000 and $100,000.
