How do you figure that? I reckon your model is the cleanest smoothest look of the lot. Everything looks like it's supposed to be there and flows with every panel around it in the right way. The later ones with scoops and bootlid lips and side skirts and various other garbage looked like they had stuff tacked on.

Your model is a definite "must have" for me one day. That look with the later 6.0L and gearbox would be ideal.

Don't get me wrong, I love the look, it's just that everyone wants the V8. Interior is a very basic compared to 8, although it still has leather seats, you don't get climate control, 6 CD stereo etc and that nice V8 rumble. That's what I was getting at. I don't have any plans on selling it, hopefully it will be in the family for a long time.

That's a very good looking car, well done. I had an 04 VY SS and it came with those wheel's, they look great.

They should have really been a Monaro SV6, as they are really a 2 door S pack, where the CV8 is a Calais spec vehicle.

Much rarer than a CV8 though. Please keep it original, don't make it look like an XC Falcon with those awful bonnet scoops. Those and the lack of a boot is what made me buy a V2 instead of a VZ.

If you have the brochure with the red car on the front pictured in the desert, then past the middle pages on the bottom left is a photo of the wheels mine has. I think they were carry over VY. The export GTO also ran them but a larger size from memory.

Those wheels are the original 17" SV6 wheels for series II V2, same as VY SS ute. There were 2 x optional wheels as well. As far as I know the export GTO had the CV8 18" rims but in gloss not satin like we got here. I bought 2 x sets of them for my CV8 as they are easier to clean. They even came with Pontiac centre caps.
