??? See the tall yellow ute?
It's an overlander. Holden body and engine on a Landcruiser chassis. WB ute next to it shows stock height.
Photo taken from my company Holden Commodore VT.

Two very fast Toranas and an HD at Western Sydney Dragway.
Big flamed scoop on a road registered LC with 400 Chev and Nitros, does 8.7 sec 1/4 mile.
Black LJ is 'The Grump'. Unregisterable because chassis cut to fit wider wheels. Does 8.3 sec 1/4 mile.

And the 'Mad Turk' in his blown HD ute.

I think this is an ex-Victorian paddy wagon. (I'm from NSW and never saw one, we had F100s)

And an EJ.

The 400 LC on a slow run, 0.2 sec slower than it's best.

Kicking myself for not recording thoroughly.
The Ute is a Holdens. (When Holden was Holdens, a body building company) I think the other car was too.
In Broken Hill.

Apart from at a Holden Museum I'm not entirely sure where this was shot - day trip from Melbourne some years back (2005)

I believe the body in the back ground is a 1937 turret top.
A photo of the 1939 here: https://maas.museum …/10/20/holden-is-history/ (external link)

In 1937 GMH released an all-steel body known as the ‘uni-steel turret top body’. It was the first Australian-made car to have an all-steel body made of only four pieces of prefabricated steel, shaped by giant presses then welded together. These steel sections formed a stronger, lighter and much cheaper car body.

The rear window on the 1937 is smaller, also the external door hinges match a 1937.

My fantastic UC Sunbird - engine swap from 1900cc Starfire engine to 202 plus the added enhancement of CNG as a dual-fuel when the oil crisis hit:

not sure if cutting a hole in the roof with an angle-grinder to fit a sunroof is a positive, or a negative! Must say the loss of traction in the wet was very predictable on these models and a joy to drive.
