Hmmm; what's more bogan; an HSV or multi axle Caddy?

Oi! I'll report your post!
My Commodore is a HSV. It has a HSV build plate.




Mind you, the HSV car Club refused to let me join their club. Maybe I wasn't bogan enough.

As Landyandy comments, this is in the same category as the 80" Landrover - but there would be a lot fewer of them about. There were probably never as many of these as there were 80" in Australia, and although they came ten years later, they are a lot less durable - most bodies will have almost completely rusted by now. Probably a few later FJ40s about as there were a lot more sold.

The column shift is quite rare in my experience, coming for only a short time(in Australia) between the four speed/no low range and the three speed floor shift with low range.

And I'd take it any day over that hideous Caddy!

I wouldn't mind that Cruiser in the shed ... could be a bit of a bargain too because a lot of people will see it and wonder how on earth an old Landcruiser could be worth so much.

I'll leave the Caddy though a) because it horrible and b) I'd have to buy the place next door just so I had enough room to park it

That old land crusher is worth that kind of money because that model pioneered the Snowy mountains hydro. It says so right there in Shannon's description of the car. Don't you blokes know anything????.

I'm looking at the Cruiser as an opposition to a S2a. If as John says, it it the Toyota version of a S1 80", then it is worth money.
The desirable Cruiser for me would be an es ADF one. Preferably SWB. I'm told there were SWB ones as used by the RAAF. Not seen one yet.
Do we know how many were used on the Snowy? I was told about six.
