Hope you like.

Ugh, you have a Ute! I so hope they bring the El Camino back to the states! So jealous!

I see that it's RHD...did you have it converted over or did you buy it that way? I don't think I could get used to shifting with my left hand!

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Very Nice
Don't suppose that's a Malloo is it?
I really like the Utes, then again I'm from the side of the tracks that like elCaminos.
Wish they sold them here (LH drive so you don't get creamed trying to pass though

)

It's cool that your tag says "old" on the top of it.

Hi AAJC,
Two very interesting cars in a interesting looking neighborhood!
I too though it said OLD... when I saw it I thought...wonder why it doesn't say VINTAGE, COLLECTOR, or even ANTIQUE????
Thanks very much for the pictures.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Mate, she's looking good! I beg to differ on the grapics. I think they're a nice period touch. One of the radio stations here at work uses a black ute, same as yours. Looks the part!

So nice to see a right hand drive model again, I lived in Adelaide for 2 years a few years back. The graphics are fantastic....not that this car doesn't stand out already!!!!! Love the Holden (especially in Ute trim). Thanks for the pictures.

Cheers mate

Both cars looks great. I am not a fan of the decals on the stringray. But it still looks like a great car.

Hi RMVette
It was converted back in the 70s long before Dad bought it (in 78).

I'm sure it wouldnt take you long to get used changing gears on the left. If you get it wrong, just tell your passanger you were in a hurry to wind down the window.

Hi Boltnut,
Each to his own. The artwork was done back in the 70s & its grown on me. I will keep it as long as I can.

It's cool, It's neat, I like it.
Is that a 73 style nose emblem on the nose? I'd change it back to the crossflags.
I really like the wheels. Good on ya.
