    The GS was popular as they had most of the GT goodies but without the high cost of the GT insurance.

    The GTs are Fairmonts over there and the Monaros have a Chevelle grill set up(from memory) and the front guards are different also.Wouldnt mind one of the Monaros,really different.

    Notice the four headlight setup on the Monaro, never available from the factory in Oz.

    yeah because people will steal cars, take photos, some photos with people in them, and then post them up on the internet

    Well no one was asking you. IF you bothered to do any research, you'd realise that Ford/Holden shipped them over there to be sold.

    Just like the VB/VC was sent over there sold as a Opel Senator.

    It's an interesting sequence of pics. The firsts one shows a Falcon covered in dust, obviously has been stored in some sort of shed for a considerable time. The next few show the cars being moved, the last one appears to be of all the cars stored in a hold of a ship perhaps. Wonder where they were off to and nhow old these pics are?
