Redbook cant be trusted! They have so much wrong info on there its not funny.
The VN & VM prefixes refer to the HSV and Holden versions of the 5.0L V8.
All Holden VT V8s were VM prefix, including the SS.
HSV versions had the VN prefix.
There is |

Model year code runs from Sept 1st of the previous year, to Aug 31.
So.....
1998 model year = 1st Sept 1997 to 31st Aug 1998.
V = 1997 (ie 1/09/1996 > 31/08/1997)
W = 1998 (ie 1/09/1997 > 31/08/1998)
X = 1999 (ie 1/09/1998 > 31/08/1999 |
Cheers,
Mick

9C1 is simply the option code for Police Equipment.
BT1 was the predecessor to 9C1, so you could almost say its a BT1.....
The option pack is just like many other option codes Holden have used, like XW4 (Vacationer), XV2 (Walky), A9L (HDT Group A), XU |
