Hi All
I read today that HDT are building a modern interpretation of the first Brock commodore.You buy a new SS and you deliver it to them and they do the rest.In the same way Wayne Gardener used to.There will be group 1-2 and 3 just the way they were made originally.I found it on Drive .com. Any thoughts?
Cheers Rob.

You don`t seem to hear much about HDT anymore it seems a bit old school now, most people I know when HDT is mentioned think off Toranas or early commodores,and now with brocky gone (RIP) it wouldn`t have the same meaning.
I could be wrong , just my thoug

Collectible as in desireable? Or as in valuable?
IMO all HDTs are collectable - due to their low volume build numbers (rarity), and the performance aspect (for the era).
But as far as value, it took 20-25+ years, plus some assistance from the tail |

Based on the 'opinion' of a far proportion of club members, any HDT built post-Brock (ie, from 8/88 or later) isn't held in as high regard as those built during his time. We see this all the time with VN Aeros, and the later VT/VX/VU cars that are in the |
