spotted this BAMF Holden HSV Maloo R8 today

[04SSHD]

Holden HSV Maloo R8 UTE spotted while I was at work, I hopped in the truck and tracked the guy down to ask him about it. Apparently he imported it from Austrailia, sent it to a company in Colorado for federalization and LHD conversion. Here's some pics of it

Badass! Love the front ends of those cars

Talked to a guy at SEMA that was cleaning 2 on display, pretty sure the same company did them as well

won't pass US inspection as right hand drive...I talked to the guy who imports these from Australia a few years ago and was trying to find a way around this...

They come as totaled rides. It's a pain to get them. Customs usually fucks things up for these guys. Two guys in FL do it too. I got one on fb.

That front is around $3k. Doubt I'll ever do a conversion.

Only way I think that one can be pulled off is if there were a couple of mountain bikes in the back or something. It has its angles I guess.


Here's one that I spotted locally. Probably a conversion though. Was nice, and possibly (hopefully, lol) tracked. Had a near gutted interior with bracing (no cage though), and CTS-V brakes. I'm not a big gto fan but this thing intrigued me.
