it was recently on ebay and think it sold fairly cheap a doctor owned it for a while, yes it looks shocking but it was done in the days of panelvans and there was PLENTY of tasteless mods done back then, so he pretty much was a sheep he just did it on a sedan not a van
i'de have it if i had the money and space to spare just to sit it there the same as the stumpy FB because this sort of thing is what i class as history it was something out of the ordinary not a stock factory car that was rarely driven

FX FJ's are a beautiful car, kept in original style. Alteration to the body shape, headlights & grille usually ends up looking like vomit.
The general spent a lot of coin engineering and shaping the FX FJ into the iconic shape it became. I would have to say its the most reconised Holden Model by far. So why d1ck around with it? Most end up being a hacked up abortion, that should never grace our streets. What the 1980's did to old Holdens is simply, Wrong.

I've been attending less and less due to this. Its becoming hard to find RHD cars built here. Everyone seems to be importing finished LHD cars. Sick of tri 5 chevs and lhd customs (as nice as they are its becoming a bit too much). How bout building some here.

i think alot of it to is non car people (nerds) that want to be kool have plenty of money and just go buy something, cause 90% of the time if you were to ask them a question or hear them talking they seem to have no clue

I gotta agree Ratbox with this 100% I saw this happen about twenty years ago when riding a Harley was the latest "must do" for some non-biker people.
Looks like they have moved into the car scene and are probably the reason why prices have spiked so much. Great if you are selling Lousy if you are trying to buy

Newman , every time I read your name all I can think of is Jerry Seinfeld saying "nnnnewman"
Now I know you rode a harley newmans portrait dont quite fit the bill anymore

One good thing I can see coming out of these people with too much money importing left hand drive cars, they will drive them and realize they are old cars and flog them off when they don't like it , Trev .

Or people with cable who have seen too much American Hot Rod/overhaulin type shows.... Like Trev said only need a hot day, no aircon, car overheating, wife complainig, kids whinging and sell old car and onto the next fad.

Still it'll save Mez the air fare to the states to pick up another sled.

Scotty.

Its cool for people like Mez to import cars like that, he's the real deal n Im sure he's gonna slap that Moik around into something that'll make ya sh1t.

i don't see anything wrong with buying a car like the one mez bought, it's all the run of the mill (insert colour here) (insert fifty 5,6,7 chev or mustang here) that gets to me, but tastefull out of the ordinary's i don't mind

Remove the word "Mustang" from your vocabulary.

Instead,insert the word "Pustang".

It will soon become second nature.....
