Yesterday I met a dude who showed me a converted Aussie left-hand holden ute. If you have not seen one (as they are from Australia) heres a link with pictures

The company (Left Hand Utes) is apparently based in Denver, CO and has the following website if your curious or mildly interested
http://www.lefthandutes.com/

Apparently they put any type of drive-line into the holden platform (but I wasn't able to talk at length with the gentleman to know if they could/would do a Sy AWD Type version of their vehicle).

Anyways, it appears that GM dropped the El Camino/Holden and guys like this are picking up the slack so their may be hope for the future. The vehicle he showed me was white, with an LS3, 5 or 6 speed, with large blacked out corvette-ish wheels (and looked better in person than I would have thought). Since both of us were in a hurry, we quickly exchanged contact info and I drove off into the sunset....

All Holdens are sweet. Too bad the austrailian auto world is collapsing.

I "wanna" like the Ute, but just can't find the love. Reminds me of the SSR...interesting concept but just butt ugly. :2cents: Not a big fan of the "El Camino" platform...never was.

The wagon, at least from the photos, looks like a Dodge Magnum (in scale). And we all know what a huge success those were....I rarely see one on the street.

That's because they stopped making them in '08 and they have all fell apart by now.
