Hi Mark, that vehicle was stolen on June 12 and reported to the police. Suspects were seen at Endevour Group Carrum Downs and stole fuel with a Silver VF SV6 with defective taped aftermarket clubsport tailights later that day. There were a handful of eyewitnesses & Dashcam footages sent to the police on June 14 with all information regarding the suspects. Im very upset & infuriated that they did that on top of stealing the car and assuming robbing the contents inside before lighting it on fire😥
@@markbehr88 thank you for recording it, I am hopeful they catch the people that stole it as there are enough evidence linking them. Also, they managed to steal the car without the key and we couldn’t detect any sign of window breaking either. If anyone else have information in regards to the suspects please let us know over at Dandenong Police Station🙏🏽
The more the local made cars disappear,the more Australia loses its individual character and examples of national capability.We have become a cargo cult on the coast that could be shitzvillle anywhere in the world.Feel sorry for the owner losing their pride and joy to the actions of selfish gronks.
It’s a VF factory option very rare it foams up like that in a crash to protect the occupants, old girl gave her life to save a p plater that couldn’t handle the cubes rip u bloody legend ❤
Very sad to see. It's exactly the same colour as my VF SS-V and I had to do a double take. A horrible and sad end to an Australian iconic car. One less on the road which makes the remaining ones that haven't been abused, stolen, or crashed even more valuable
If my Valiant Pacer hardtop was stolen, unlikely as it's garaged and I live in a small country town, I wouldn't even want it back, regardless of how rare it is as I'd feel violated as some low life had stolen it against my wishes.
Looks like an insurance job as the owner probably cant make the repayments. Car had no rego but probably full comp as many banks make it a requirement for car loans of an substantial amount.
Absolutely love your passion for the Australian motor industry Mark. If only there were more like you in power who could have done more to prevent the extinction of it from occurring. Both sides of politics are to blame for this disgrace. Ford man here but I will always admire such a stunning car as this one.
Im a ford man, but always a shame, not that this hasn't always happened, but what a different country Australia is now. Politicians turning Australia into America, by following an American model for the country. I miss the old day of the 80s, that Australia gone forever 😢
@@markbehr88the car was in an insirance repair for 8 months and when we got it back it was not in use anymore because I have a work vehicle. It was on it’s way for a Roadworthy that day and a re-registration to my partner’s name…
Hi Mark, hope your well, Agree, what a shame a nice car like that probably used for criminal use, do there bad thing and burn the car to get rid of evidence and finger prints and in the process some one loses there car. Same thing happened here about 3 years where I live in Wrexham a young lad had an old 1970 Austin 1800 ( Land crab ) I use to see it around it had the rat look about it faded pale green paint with rust effect no bumpers and no hub caps but a solid car and some one set that on fire and there's not many of these cars left in the world . Thanks for posting this and it very sad news, make you thinks about people that does this sort of thing. Good to hear from you Take care
Looks more like a sticker pack V6 mark, it doesn’t have the LS3 badge on the front, and the brakes look like stock. Nevertheless, still a shame it was burnt.
I couldn't agree more, just shameful, its bad we lost local build production of both Ford n Holden even Chrysler n Leyland too. Only if someone had balls buy one companies out n like NASCAR build RWD platform n offer different shells but choose exterior features very similar with Dodge offering of shell body.
I know a banana that paid over $80k for one when the prices went a bit crazy now sitting at home didn't even reach $50k few months trying to sell it at the auctions.
Oh what a crime to do to someones pride and joy and as others below have said just another locally made car now gone. All the time and effort that went into producing it now gone forever.
@@markbehr88 I'm not even a Holden fan but it's the principal of it all. Out driving my pride and joy today and I saw two red VF Commodores very similar to that one and yes they do look great. But when I saw them I was reminded of your sad video.
What a waste indeed,looks like a sv6 with ve gts wheels-for anyone reading this please lock up your cars-the lowlife thieves are prowling everywhere nowadays..
Just had a look, since the plate is on the front still. So from what VicRoads says, this would've been an SV6, built in 2016 & had the rego canceled back on the 9th of November 2023. So who knows what happened, which is a huge shame, and sad to see this happen. Moreso for me, being a VF owner, since i'd just picked up a 2015 Calais V Sportwagon just over 2 months ago. So yes, a sad way to go for this here VF.
I'm a Ford guy, but yeah what a bloody waste to see a unique to Australia vehicle senselessly destroyed. If it was a blandmobile Toyota or the like then collect the insurance & move on. But for every unique to Aussie car that gets destroyed, it's one less we'll never get back. As a few other commenters have stated, I "liked" this video for the channel, not so much for the content on this occasion.
@@markbehr88 It looks like someone set fire to it. I don't know what they used to do that. But given how rare these final gen Holden Commodore are, I hope someone can restore to like new condition.
