Harry, here's your new truck!

Oh. She's in beautiful condition. I'd expect she'd fetch twice that here without too many problems.

[HomeRacingWorld]

I'd take it :) What a looker.

[waaytoomuchintothis]

A Holden Ute!!!! gimmie gimmie!

[FootScoot]

That is cool! 8-) It looks a lot like a '56 Chevy in the front. :)

[Cosmic Bilby]

....Another iconic Aussie shitbox!

Now that could be a novel idea, ship all our crappy red and grey motor Holdens over to the states :D

They smell like wet horses inside.....

[Ember]

Better wet horses than wet dogs. :)

[Cosmic Bilby]

Ha ha :)

The motors are hand grenades, my family were mad on the silly things, things got better in the '70's, left these relics to rot out in the paddock where they belong.

What a deal though Ember, Aussies are importing all the really great US iron into Oz, we ship out these things to offset the trade deficit!!!

Thats one heck of a deal..... :D

[FootScoot]

Rob, I didn't know you so partial to Holden's. :lol: We did get a Holden over here a few years ago as the Pontiac GTO. Not a bad car, good looking too. :)

Yes, the GTO looks good, was a Monaro over here....

No I think those old red and grey 6 cylinder motors absolutely suck (I don't know if either are similar to Chevy's Blue Flame 6).

A lot of older guys fap on about how magnificent the Holden red motor was (Oh no, flashbacks to the "186" bored to 192 or whatever...).

Truth was they were garbage, I've owned them, had a Brother in Law that was a mechanic that used to hot them up (on simmer maybe?).

I've even meddled with the stinking things slightly (till i got my hand off it and got into proper motors).

Yes, I can't stand the motors, I fail to see the fascination with the cars of that era that the motors resided in, they were rust buckets, slow, the motors were lucky to do 100,000 miles before they expired.....

..... Give me proper US built and engineered iron any old day, they had proper performance motors, not this Aussie bailing twine and fencing wire crap we had forced down our throats :)

Traded in the Arbath..... mmmm, now thats a fun little car!
