The VC Commodore was launched on 30 March 1980 and is primarily distinguished by its "eggcrate" style grille. This series brought many improvements over the VB Commodore and maintained the Commodore's place as the best selling car in Australia. It was replaced by the VH series in October 1981.
Commodore SL 3.3 sedan
Commodore L wagon
The improvements included revised suspension to improve ride and handling, a few cosmetic changes and the availability of new options such as cruise control.
However, one of the biggest changes were a series of engine upgrades which included redesigned cylinder heads, now with a single intake and exhaust port for every cylinder, improved intake/exhaust manifolds, new camshafts and pistons and an all-new carburettor called the Rochester Varajet, as well as the fitment of electronic ignition. In total, these upgrades brought up to 25 percent more power and 15 percent better fuel efficiency. The engine block on these motors were painted a blue colour (as opposed to the previous red) and were commonly referred to as the Blue motor.
As well as changes to the existing engines, a new 1.9-litre inline-four engine was introduced. Known as the Starfire four, the new engine was the 2.85-litre blue inline-six engine with two cylinders removed. Also used in the UC Sunbird, this engine was fitted to the Commodore in response to increasing pressure from the 1979 energy crisis. This new engine was not a complete success however, as its lack of power meant the engine needed to be pushed hard to deliver acceptable performance, negating any fuel saving benefits.
The engines used in this generation were Holden's own, and were not shared with the equivalent Opel Rekord or Vauxhall Carlton.
A new specification level was added to the range: the L, to replace the unbadged base model. The mid-range SL and SL/E flagship trim levels from the VB continued on. Transmission choices remained the same as the VB Commodore. A total of 121,807 VC Commodores were produced.
With the discontinuation of the Holden HZ models in 1980, the Commodore was complemented by a range of Holden WB commercial vehicles and the Statesman WB luxury models. All of these also utilised the "Blue" motors

Thank you!!
Any news about the ATCC Group C going version of the VC Commodore? Can we expect its release this year?
Hi Mate will be out before christmas its a huge challenge to do it right from our road model. The original road version had so many pollys Its the right way to build them as the group c where just a road car with big ass brakes and body kits with big motors and a roll cage not like todays bathurst cars. Building the group E cars are so much quicker. We have 5 or 6 Group C cars for next year including the wide body Mitsubishi Colt, Alfa Sud plus a few surprises. Our BMW Group C was built by Bruce from the Road Version it took months of hard work. The Commodore's being done By Lucas. Also the Nissan Pulsar Group C in coming Next Year. The Reason you see so many GrpE cars getting released is because there are some great 3d models already available to get in game fast and from model to in Game the Brett Derek and Myself do skins while Michael and Glenn do the Data and Physics then we test and release its about a month to six weeks. We just want to keep releasing as many a year as we can. Plus update are old cars from the last two years. So please understand the Commodore's about 6 weeks in the 3d model build only then it takes us so much longer because data and physics and skins about 6 weeks again. But they are all coming
My dad had a Vauxhall Cavalier in this colour. It's not exactly the same car but it's very similar and brings back good memories.
The 202 version is coming tomorrow
wow! amazing car guys. Being a Holden man from way back, it's great to be able to step back in time and drive this classic Australian car. Thank you so much, it great to drive and looks fantastic. The auto is a gas!
Loks, sounds, and drives great. Good job folks.
