i met a bloke yesterday who walked into the dealership back in the 80's to fill in his order form for a WB kinga ute. 5L V8 WAS NOT AN OPTION. He begged and pleaded and they said NO WAY, only in a statesman. 3 months later his 253 4-speed WB kinga ute arrived. purchased for 11,500 and sold 3 years later for $11,000. not bad motoring!!
