Yes, it was a Holden Monaro CV8 over here. I saw a couple in Hawaii last year, one on Oahu in Waikiki and one on Maui on the drive down to Hana. They look a bit different in some areas though to the ones we got here, the fuel filler was in a wierd spot up on the top of the quarter and they had no boot/trunk space as the fuel tank was over the axle. The wheels were the same as we got on V2 and V2 II Monaro but they had gloss clear painted over the wheel silver metallic. I think some of the V2 examples you got over there got the bonnet with the scoops in them that we didn't get until VZ.

The Aussie VZ Monaro had its fuel tank & filler set up exactly like that.

Yep, I bought a 2004 CV8R new in early 2005 and the CV8Z had been released. I choose the CV8R because the Z had virtually no boot space.

I was the same, I could have had a new VZ pretty cheap but the boot was useless so I bought a used V2 instead. Plus I didn't like the XB Falcon looking bonnet scoops.
