Actually, if I bought a Holden it would be a Monaro. I can't believe it ... did I really say that?!
I second T3man. Only I dont have a son, a daughter, or even a wife. Plus I only have 1 friend....

Oh and it would be a manual Monaro CV8Z, as long as the build quality was good. Or a W427 if money was no object. Would even consider a V8 Torana, 308 not the 253.

if i were to buy a ford, an XA-XC coupe would be my pick.

Current SS, on the road for $40K with current deals being done right now.

And if you feel it's necessary, very basic mods: 300kW atw for little over $45 K...

Current bang for buck king at that price...

I've alway loved VK's I've had quite a few of them my first 3 cars were VK's

So that'd be one of the first i'd buy not sure which one but i'd like to have a nice black over silver calais.

I've Also got a soft spot for VH SL/E's I'd like a nice blue over silver one


Car ive alway wanted is a LX SS torana gun metal grey with a9x style kit on it much like this one...
You got to admit they're a tough looking car

Wouldn't touch anything post-1980 from GM with a barge pole, there's a reason they went bankrupt and Ford didn't.
