The 107" Station Wagon used in Wheels Across a Wilderness was converted, so whats to say they didn't do the same to this one?
Lord knows, the 2.6 was roundly disliked by most!
Well, I have been to All4x4 today and have seen the car, and taken lots of pictures. For those interested, I will email you them if you PM me your email address and will answer questions as best I can about it.

I've got a few good (large) photos of the one at the museum in SA, it's a ripepr of an unrestored vehicle.
I would have to say that the holden 6 was likely done by the leyland brothers, so that part is likely to be original.
i heard someone came in today taking photos anyway here is the rundown the chassis is stuffed so is the doors and the firewall isnt to far off the lining is average except on the passengers door its stuffed they want $1500 for it first in best dressed to rebuild it i think your looking at an easy 5k im not buying it they bought it for $100 lucky bastards the number plate is ayi077
Further to what you have found out, it is in fact a 1970, and the serial number is close but not quite. Its 201103C but perhaps G, a little hard to say decisively from the photo I took off the spring hanger. (edit: with some photoshop intervention, it looks more to be a G)Quote:

The biggest concern is some rust throughout the chassis, but nothing looked to be excessively bad - but I couldn't really get underneath too much, they said it was pretty bad so I will believe them. Exhaust is a bit rusted and holey too, but that's hardly a big issue!
It does have a rear sals differential, head lamps in guard. Most of the interior is complete, appears to be missing 2 dash gauges however.
There are a few more little comments about its condition I could make but I like how this is being drawn out :D
Hope that has whet people's appetite a little more about it all...
It will be good to see it snapped up and a little TLC given to it, and hopefully displayed as it deserves.
