So not a interesting car to most of you, but I’m from American so this is either a weird grey import, or someone spend a lot of time importing a Holden body kit for a Chevy Caprice or Pontiac G8. It was partially debadged so I’m not sure of the actual model but it looked sweet. You auzzy/Zealanders really did get the best body for these cars.

Was it left hand drive or right?
Honestly couldn’t tell, was paying attention to the unusual grill and emblem in the rearview. It had a euro style number plate in the windshield, and I wanted to get my phone out to snap a picture. It was cruising about 30mph over the speed limit and I didn’t feel like trying to keep up.

Its a kitted car it has the wrong taillights and the wrong rear bumper, wrong side skirts etc. Walkinshaw did talk about importing the HSV GTS but I don’t think it ever got off the ground. Those taillights are a dead giveaway that its not an aussie model…it may be a vauxhaul but
The Holden badge kit for the Chevrolet SS is actually available from the dealership.
Lol so now in australia the holden badge gets swapped for a chev and in the states the chev is swapped for a holden badge…GM owners are unique

Yeah guess that must have been it, looked good. Had the front clip conversation too. It caught my eye as I’ve seen a few SS’s, G8’s and cop Caprices but it had a different look to any of them. Can’t wait for their prices to drop on the used market.
Yeah the last of the hsv’s have been sold…$160000 each
