Looks just like a Ford Taurus from Prichard
See, I can LOL at this because I know what Prichard is... :biglaugh:

I was thinking a Ford Taurus too, but it looks longer or something looks off to be a taurus... Her plate says "250 KPH"... I seriously doubt that car can go 250kph...

Looks like a Caprice to me...

I think that might be what they refer to as an Ute? I could be way off, where are our resident aussies when we need 'em? ;)

I dunno if its a Holden or not... Its definitely not one of the newer SS models, those are sweet, and look like Pontiac GTOs...

Here are a few older ones I found... And they look similiar, but not the same...

Jake, if you think that looks sweet, then I think you need to take a week or two off and get away from the sheetrock dust.

I come from a land down under
They're ALL Commodores which were based on an Opel way back in the very late 70's to early 80's.

Very common domestic here.
(I dropped a worked 427 with a 1050cfm 3 barrel Holly into one many years ago)

I also wouldn't mind a VL if it's been done right.

Thats because they are the same car. the "GTO" and the new G8 are both direct ports from Holden. BTW the chevy Aveo is a dawoo port and the Cobalt is an Opel.

ok...

going by the grille, it's a VP Commodore, however, the rear end does suggest it's a VN (the colour between the tail lights is different between the 2)

the 2 models were very similar, and many many parts interchange...

the first commodore was based on an opel omega way back in the late 70's, however, apart from looking similar, not much interchanged... they have grown separately since then, just like 2 brothers grow separately and look different, but share common traits...

to whoever said it was a ute, it's not a ute.. a ute is like an El Camino.... it's a car with a tray, much like a pickup, only usually more car height / styled....

Commodores suffer a bit in the eyes of many in Australia because they are very common, and often modified poorly, like this one... but, there are plenty of good examples out there too....
