[QUOTE="Willie, post: 16642255, member: 14133"] I'm not going to hijack this thread, so if anyone wants further info beyond my info below, please message me. For someone who's never heard of Holden, HSV, or utes in general, which is 9 out of 10 people, the question I hear most often is, "What is it?" For those like yourself, the question is exactly what you asked, "How did you get it here?" First of all, the U.S.'s rule for importing right hand vehicles is that it must be 25 years old or older. If not, the general concensus is they cannot be brought in. This is actually not true. There is a way, but the process is long, arduous, frustrating and not exactly cheap. One requirement is to convert it to LHD, which is a drop in the bucket. I can explain it all in detail if asked. Bob, I'm sure you know utes were born in Oz, in the 1930s. Ford came along with the Ranchero in the 50s and a few years later, Chevy. And during the production runs here, the Aussies kept plugging away and built a 70 year tradition of utes that became icons in Australia. Since GM shut down Holden in 2020, the prices of skyrocketed, especially utes, which affects mine too. That's because it's insured for replacement cost.
