Group 3 had nicer trim, more berlina-spec inside, and had the basic Brock motor. It was only available in Silver & White.
The Group A was based on an SL spec base car (lighter weight for racing) and had the best Brock motor - roller rockers etc, and a |

Cheers Mick, legend. So a reasonably warmed up, rebuilt Group 3 with an immaculate interior would be worth a look eh? What inlet mani did they have on them? This one's got an edelbrock and a holley 650 double pumper.

They had standard Holden blue/black valley cover opened up and de-ribbed in the plenum, with a Rochester Quadrajet. I've got a valley, Rochester and aircleaner off one of these I'd part with for the right price.
My mate just sold a nice white Group III |

Generally around $30K if it's got good trim. Rougher ones are still in the low 20s, but the craze has swept through, and even roughies are getting good money - from people who think "ahh, it's only a commodore, it'll be easy to restore" only to find that |

Just make sure you get all the numbers checked out by HDT before you even think of buying it. There's heaps of fakes out there - even on ebay right now.
I noticed you've signed up to the #1 Brock Commodores website too. I'm a part owner of the site, |
