I thought it was a bit odd that it had a Dodge badge. The 1st Val ute I remember having that badge was the later square shape utes. Not being a Val man, I don't know the model I'm talking about. You, no doubt, do know the one I mean. Cheers. One Man

Not so much uncommon, as uncommon condition - an E90 that looked showroom-fresh. Not tidied up, not dripping in “product” but as if just a few days old.

Saw two cars today that were note worthy.. One was a really faded red daily driver Holden VG SV ute.
The badge said SV, not HSV. Didn't have the 5 star wheels, and wasn't a Maloo either. This being the other absolute gem of a find. Can't believe it was in a car park, in todays really s-hitty weather here. Looks like it might have a rear disc brake upgrade among other goodies.. Cheers, One Man.

I'm guessing a 76 CK SE judging by the number plate.

Reminds me, spotted a red custom CF Beddy cruising along the beachfront.
Notable features, frenched aerial, one piece fibreglass tailgate and HQ-Z van/wagon/ute tail lights. Hope to see it again.

Early Territory with collapsed lower ball joint.
Thought they’d all been fixed by now. |

I spotted a silver GTR-XU1 Torana in traffic yesterday. I’d forgotten what they sounded like. We’d stopped at lights and I was reaching for the phone to take a photo but took the advice from my front seat passenger about mobile detection cameras and put it away.
