  • Show me what Aussie cars would make Yanks jealous.

Needs to be 1996 or older. I'm looking to import vehicles from Japan and the UK but I thought I would seek some knowledge from some true car guys.

I'm looking for quirky and awesome vehicles that weren't available here that I could buy and flip for a decent profit.

Didn't have to be a Holden/Ford... Japanese and Euro models wanted also.

4wd version "starwagon"

They are still made and sold as new in China so parts are stupid cheap for them

    Any of the Falcon and Holden utes make Americans jizz at the sight...

    Yeah, I've been looking at a lot of 4wd diesel SUVs and Vans. I think those would sell pretty well here in truck country.

    What about any turbocharged straight 6 Utes or coupes??

      XB Falcons sedans used to be a dime a dozen once.

      If exported and done up to look like Max Max 'MFP' cars they would have been very profitable years ago, but perhaps not any more.

      The prices of 70s and 80s OZ-made cars are high and getting higher. What once were $300 Falcons are now $8300+ princesses.

      XR6 Turbo utes.

        import written off VF wagons and utes and used broken chevy SS's to make LHD utes and wagons

        Valliant Charger was always a cool car . My old man loved his

        242GT

        Volvo 780

        There's plenty of them in the USA, and for not much money.

        One of the 80 or so ex-Japan 780s might be good for OZ though, since they have headlights suitable for left hand traffic (which is normally RHD) .

        3000GT? or did they sell those there in a non dodge version?

        None older than 1996, right?

        Didn't realise a 1996 cut off...no, the turbos came in 2002
