$6,000 USD + Shipping and Handling?

Not that much.

Australian Dollar (in dollars)0.79500.7945

Sorry misread your post.

My fault, I thought you were just talking shipping.

Not a problem man. How much is S&H?

This, shipping, and other Ute -specific parts I'd guesstimate at about $12,500 USD.

Then I'd have to find a wrecked G8 GXP...

But getting the Ute shell is the biggest step toward your dream...then it's just a matter of waiting for the inevitable.

True...

Could this be made legal to drive? COOL :scratchchin:

Oh, there's a couple of those...being in a few G8 clubs/forums, more than one person already has gotten into a pickle with their GXP's. Some fixed, some totaled. More so, also a lot of GT's out there scrunched, of course, and LS3/stick aside, not much of any worthwhile difference there, and what is, can be had for not much from people changing stuff out, etc.

Just saying, you know :AH-HA_wink:

I so want a UTE now too...especially after seeing this HSV one on a G8 forum last year, freshly ordered and arrived to the owner in Australia, and in my FAVORITE color (of course) Karma/Pacific Slate:

the inevitable..is gm declaring bankruptcy and is pontiac going away?

The inevitable is a G8 GXP being wrecked and beings old for parts. Must IO spell it out? :P

Beautiful!

If GM hadn't crumbled to bits, that's what mine would have looked like.
