GMH couldn't justify updating the sport wagon and ute rear end so unlikely they'll release a Sandman

AMCAT who did the original MAMBO Sandman conversion for Holden will continue to manufacture conversions for the VF just the same as they have for the VE.
But no, it will not be an official Sandman. It will to some remain very, very cool.

I've heard the ute may be going to the US too. I wonder if Amcat could have a new market?

I reckon the Yanks would love 'em. I sell Holden decals to them almost every week. Even Pontiac GTO's they want the Holden fronts etc.

I've see a few Commodores with Chev badges; nice to see a Pontiac GTO with a Holden Monaro nose on it's own turf

That's cool, Yanks getting their own back! LOL
I personally don't have an issue with Chev badges as they are Chev powered and the badges are genuine GM parts.
That's just personally taste. If that make baby Jesus cry - suffer cry baby!

The reason people blow up over itis they aren't Chev engines. They are as much a Holden engine as they are a Chev!

Future business opportunity for you? Sounds like it would be a fun one too. It'd be good to see some more Aussie manufactured stuff going overseas.

I see the VF-based "Chev SS" has won Daytona; hope motorsport success increases interest (& sales) when it becomes available in the US. (are US import quatities of the VF restricted?)
