    just a old VG with a VS statesman nose swap and no they did not come out of the factory like this, its been a popular thing to put a upmarket front end on a bottom market car

    Not at all rare, but still rather nice, would be nicer though if it had a full Stato interior and all....

    There's no pics of the interior plus the seller only mentions VS statesman front. Supposedly its swapped panels, etc? heh

    Would probably be cheaper and easier to get a VS ute and put the VS Stato front on :P

    VG was the name for the VN Series ute.

    A VS one-tonner Stato lookalike? Man that would look sweet! I'm assuming that its just a standard VS ute thats been converted into a tunna by NOTC, but still, it'd look damn sweet, and unique...

    VG is only the VN ute.


    VPs just used the normal VP designation for ute.

    yeah looks great, basically just a vs ute, back choped and welded, with an alloy tray, stato front and stato dash
