absolutely fascinating! the style cues are distinct yet somehow still you can see GM's influence.That Torana is a really nice looking ride, and i notice the engines appear to be specific to Australia.thanks so much , guys!

Yes it works and its a show car , i read about it in an australian magazine in witch it won their top street machine award for 2004.The owner is planing on taking it to the U.S to show it.

Hot Holy Mother of Mud , Batman! That pic scares me just looking at it! I'll bet that car is frightfully fast! Aussie guys,you rock!http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_patriot.gif

maybe someone can help me. i am restoring a 51 chevrolet sedan turned Holden Ute. soem "Fabricator" took two sedans and a carryall or something and made a holden ute. this is a frame up restoration and i am finishing up the body work right now. the guy has a stack of research for this car, but still only has two pictures. the blue one fron SUper Chevy magazine, and a red one from the internet. could anybody from aussie find some pictures of this car??

Keep the pics coming! that 58' was baddass!
Cool Thread!
Brad

Definitely more pics!

I went back and checked out FC_Holden's photo album , if you haven't seen it, it's worth the time to look at. You Holden guys will find the 1955 Chevrolet 210 or BelAir very similar to the 58's styling, the early 60s Holden looks similiar to the 61 or 62 Impalas , while the one in the post above is pretty distinctive and really doesn't resemble any US car. The closest on the headlights /grille work *might* be a 70 Chevelle. Some of these cars looked pretty much original. Is the climate there pretty kind to sheetmetal? The desert states here are probably the best from a rust point of view.

any pics of 50's holden ute's? anybody interested in pics of the 51 chevy ute holden clone that i am working on?

It would be interesting to see some pictures of you’re car . Do you know the car's history ?

its not my car, i am a paint/body man and i am doing the paint work on his car. i've searched the internet ten times and i can only find two pictures of holdens. i dont think there are ANY in the US, which is sweet because this car will be the only one. i'm going back to his shop next week to finish the fenders/hood. he is putting it on the frame right now. pics soon

There are some pics of holden utes on these sites
