Larry Perkins 1987 VK SS Commodore whereabouts
https://youtu.be/uvg4dlp9-oM
Does anybody know where this car is now? Raced at the 86 and 87 Bathurst 1000 plus qualified for the 1987 Hardies Heroes, one of 2 Commodores to qualify that year when the Sierras dominated |

Looks like it was being restored in 2014:

The above linked article is written by V8 Sleuth.
There's a fee to access the info through his actual site. More Perkins chassis history is on this site: https://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68021 |

Perkins' 1987 VK being tested by Peter McKay in Wheels Magazine:
http://arc.bauer.x-cago.net/WHL/arti...STS-BEST.html? Interesting Larry was then advertising his services: $18,500 for a "complete Holden Group A V8 - including clutch, bell-housing, carburetor"; which will "do 2500 km between top end overhauls, and 4000 km between majors". |
