For sale in our Orlando showroom is a 2012 Holden Ute. From the country that brought us dystopian action films starring Mel Gibson, Vegemite, and a severe fear of local wildlife, comes something completely un expected. As most GM fans know, the El Camino found the end of its production span in the U.S. in 1987 and unfortunately saddled with the G body exterior.

Currently there are only 14 in the U.S. and this is the only one on the open market for sale. Under the hood of this beast sits the LS3 6.0l V8 mated to the 6 speed automatic with sport shift.
