Few vehicles capture the essence of Australian performance quite like the SS Ute. From every angle, its muscular stance and flowing body lines speak a language of purpose; wide, confident, and unmistakably Holden. Dressed in deep Voodoo Blue, this example shimmers with a presence that turns heads wherever it goes. It’s a colour that refuses to be ignored, commanding attention in the sun and radiating energy under streetlights. The SS Ute blends coupe-like curves with a tray built for utility, creating one of the most distinct silhouettes ever to leave an Australian factory.

Beneath that sculpted bonnet lies GM's legendary 6.0-litre LS V8, an engine that delivers effortless torque and a rich, unmistakable exhaust note. The six speed automatic transmission pairs beautifully with the powerband, making this Ute just as comfortable cruising the highway as it is carving through backroads. The chassis balance and rear wheel drive dynamics reward spirited driving, while the suspension tuning gives it that unmistakably aggressive yet composed Holden feel. Few vehicles manage to bridge the gap between workhorse and sports car as seamlessly as this.

Step inside and the experience continues. Custom HSV leather seats grip you firmly, holding you in place as the Ute bites into corners with confidence. The cabin’s design feels focused yet refined, everything oriented toward the driver, everything built to make you feel connected to the car. The deep roar of the V8, the responsive steering and the way the rear end dances through a corner all remind you why enthusiasts still chase these cars today. Once you’ve driven an SS Ute, everything else feels just a little too tame.

Completing the package, the gloss-black HSV GTSR wheels enhance its already assertive stance while contributing to its sharp, planted handling. They fill the guards perfectly and give the Ute a menacing look that perfectly matches its performance. This isn’t just another utility vehicle nor merely a sports truck, it’s a piece of Australian motoring heritage, refined into a true driver’s car, the culmination of Holden’s pursuit of the perfect Ute over more than sixty years of continuous evolution. Every kilometre behind the wheel feels alive, and every glance back reminds you why the VE SS Ute remains one of Holden’s greatest achievements.

Engine & Drivetrain

At the heart of this VE SS Ute lies GM's renowned 6.0-litre LS V8, delivering the kind of effortless power and deep, unmistakable soundtrack that defines the Australian muscle car. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, it delivers smooth, responsive shifts whether cruising through town or stretching its legs on the open road.

Despite showing 297847 kilometres (183,000 miles), the drivetrain feels fresh, tight, strong and eager. The engine idles smoothly, pulls with confidence and delivers power all across the rev range exactly as a healthy LS should. It’s clear this Ute has been well maintained, offering performance that feels far newer than the odometer suggests.

A custom twin 3.5-inch exhaust system with an X-pipe transforms every drive into an event, giving the car a deep, throaty rumble at idle and a fierce roar under throttle. The setup not only enhances the sound but also allows the engine to breathe freely, sharpening throttle response and adding a distinct character that complements its performance heritage.

Suspension, Handling & Braking

When the VE Commodore launched in 2006, it marked a defining moment in Holden’s engineering history. Built on the all-new Zeta platform, it introduced a level of handling precision and composure that set a new benchmark for Australian performance vehicles. With near 50:50 weight distribution, a low centre of gravity and a stiff, well-balanced chassis, the VE platform transformed what a Ute could be, combining real-world practicality with the poise and balance of a European sports sedan.

Underneath, the MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link independent rear setup give the Ute exceptional stability and cornering confidence, making it one of the best-handling rear-wheel-drive utilities ever produced. The steering feel is direct and communicative, delivering feedback that keeps the driver connected to the road.

This particular example takes those dynamics one step further. It’s been recently refreshed with brand-new Pedders struts all round paired with King Springs to achieve a lower, more aggressive stance without compromising ride comfort. The result is a Ute that feels tight, controlled and responsive. Ready to take on winding roads or spirited weekend drives with ease.

Braking performance has also been overhauled, with new drilled and slotted rotors and fresh brake pads providing excellent pedal feel and confident stopping power. The combination of upgraded suspension and braking components gives this Ute a planted, precise feel that complements its muscular power delivery perfectly.

Suspension, Handling & Braking Highlights:

  • GM's Zeta platform with 53:47 weight distribution
  • MacPherson strut front and multi-link independent rear suspension
  • Brand-new Pedders front and rear struts
  • King Springs lowering setup for improved stance and handling
  • Drilled and slotted brake rotors (front and rear)
  • New brake pads for improved stopping performance
  • Refreshed suspension components and bushings throughout
  • Tight, composed steering and confident road feel
  • Balanced ride quality. Firm and responsive without harshness

This Ute feels sharp and controlled yet remains comfortable for daily driving. Every corner, bump and straight reminds you why the VE platform became the gold standard for modern Australian muscle.

Features

The 2010 Holden VE SS Ute represents the perfect blend of Australian ingenuity, everyday practicality and pure driving excitement. As the first generation built on Holden’s Zeta platform, it set new standards for handling precision, comfort, and chassis rigidity, elevating the Ute into genuine performance-car territory. Its powerful 6.0-litre 362 horsepower V8 delivers a muscular yet refined driving experience, while the smooth six-speed automatic transmission ensures effortless power delivery whether cruising or cornering hard.

Finished in striking Voodoo Blue, this Ute commands attention with its bold stance and aggressive styling. Inside, the cabin has been reimagined with custom HSV Podium seats retrimmed by Autohaus BNB in black leather with blue stitching and embroidered Holden logos, details that perfectly tie the interior to the exterior. Every surface reflects attention to detail, from the stitched leather door cards to the red-lit SS instrument cluster and driver-oriented cockpit layout.

Mechanically, this example has also been freshly revitalised. The Pedders struts and King Springs provide a lower, tighter, more controlled ride, while the drilled and slotted rotors with new pads ensure sharp and confident braking performance. A custom twin 3.5-inch exhaust system with an X-pipe adds an unmistakable sound, complementing the car’s healthy, well-maintained LS engine. Tuned to remove factory limiters and anti-abuse restrictions, it delivers the freedom and responsiveness enthusiasts expect from a true driver’s car.

Body Imperfections

In the spirit of full transparency, a few cosmetic imperfections are worth noting. Up close, the front bumper and bonnet show a collection of stone chips, the kind consistent with highway driving over time. They don’t detract from the car’s presentation but are visible upon close inspection. Elsewhere, there are a handful of small, shallow dents across the body, the most noticeable being just behind the passenger-side door. These are minor and do not affect the vehicle’s overall appearance or structural integrity.

Importantly, there is no rust anywhere on the car. As with most Australian-delivered vehicles, corrosion is virtually nonexistent as our cars are not exposed to snow or salted roads, and this Ute is a perfect example of that. Underneath, the chassis and body panels present exceptionally clean, with no signs of oxidation or structural wear, especially compared to North American vehicles of similar age.

The headlights have been replaced with brand-new units, restoring a fresh, clear look to the front end, and the car also comes with a new set of spare badges ready to be fitted if desired. Prior to photography, the vehicle received a comprehensive pre-sale polish and detail, rejuvenating the Voodoo Blue paintwork and restoring its deep gloss and metallic pop.

Overall, the body presents beautifully for its age; straight, solid & showing the kind of care and preservation that makes Australian vehicles so desirable on the global stage.
