The 3.2 Alfa V6 is actually the much maligned Alloytec HF V6 used in the VZ/VE, Rodeo, Colorado & Captiva. The short motor was built by GMH in Melbourne & Alfa made their own heads & intake.

VXII Calais was standard with L67, ecotec as delete option. Also L67 became optional on Acclaim and executive... does that mean I can find a supercharged Acclaim wagon somewhere?
VY Calais, standard with L67, I think.

L67 availability was all over the shop. It was first released as an option for the VSII LWB models (Statesmen & Caprice) & then immediately made an option for VSII Calais, at that time.
For VTI it was also made optional for S & SS.
For VTII it was made standard for Calais & optional for S & SS & now for Berlina (sedan only)
For VXI was still standard for Calais & optional for ALL other sedans (except SS).
For VXII it was strictly limited to Calais (standard) & optional for S. It remained this way for VYI & VYII.
In all cases the Calais had the standard Ecotec as a delete option (if the L67 was standard) & also had the V8 as an extra cost option.
For VZ the Calais got the new LY7 (190 kW) Alloytec & 5-speed auto. The Ecotec & the Supercharged L67 were not fitted to any VZ.
To my knowledge the L67 was never (officially) fitted to any wagon or ute.
