good thing its an auto, I can't imagine trying to shift with my left hand and deal with the reversed pattern as well

Ntimid8r7

the pattern isn't reversed, it's normal just shifting from the passenger seat.

It's $85,000 Australian Dollars Someone do the conversion. Should be $60,000 US or so. Of course it's right hand drive, it's Australian...Aussies drive on the left side of the road just like the English and Asians. Remember, GM is Alive and well in Australia...it's where the GTO came from!

P.S. Oh, and NO IMPORT PROBLEMS...like I said, GM is alive in Australia too.

From what I understand, most any car can be special ordered from the factory as a right handed setup.

There are no right hand drive fbodies from the factory. They are imported and converted. GM didnt build this car like this, there a company in Melbourne that does it. Check out my thread on another rare TA found down under.

Thats factory? Notice that the shifter is actually a push down shifter (I think), like the WS6Store adapter, rather than the push button being on the passengers side.

That's just an inverse picture, even the batmobile writing is backwards, dead give away, (besides the inverse radio, hvac controls, ebrake handle, and cupholder.

That's not one. The image is just flipped. Unless they make radios with all the words backwards.

EDIT: ah, beat me to it ^^^

Not LT1, exports. Other countries don't allow all red tail lenses, every country is deifferent but GM made export tails to cover all export regulations, look more closely and you'll notice there are amber and clear sections to the lights rather than all red. The reason they use the LT1 grid style is because the color simply comes from laid in lenses so to export gm could simply swap in different colored lenses. The honeycomb tails are color molded meaning the color is added to the plastic in liquid form and then poured or vacuumed into the mold. In other words you cant change the color on the honeycomb so without these LT1 grid style lights the car could never ever be road legal in other countries. Yes they're LT1 style, but not technically LT1 since they WERE produced for the 98-02 export Firebirds. Camaros and vettes each have their own export tails as well. Plus extra lights in the bumpers we don't have here.

NO GM didn't build any right hand drives. A company in Melbourne does it, if it were a factory export car it would have the different side view mirrors. There are a few Australian companies that import and convert different cars not offered to Australia. Just like here there are companies that do Skylines and certain TVrs that are only right hand drive.

And the shifter is a regular stock styles T-shifter with the button corrected on the right side, its just difficult to see since there's such little contrast between it and the dash but look again, its there just like any other Trans Am
