Especially a 4 speed! Banging 3rd gear could be a little tricky?!

There ís a good chance that is my Chevelle.

My Chevelle is also originally that colour combo of Astro blue,white painted top and pearl trim. I also have the build sheet to confirm the options being. p/s tilt & p/w,console,timted glass and no D88 stripe. I know it was delivered to OZ new but the build sheet does not state an Australian dealer or export only .

Where did you find the add Damo? Great find, as from my research during the past 30 years of ownership, I found that 4 were imported all being L34/TH400 cars

Hey Dave.
Good to hear from you.
The ad was posted on one of the Australian Facebook pages that is for vintage Australian dealer advertisements.


I'll get the info for you and shoot you a pm when I get home.

Yeah, that would not be pretty....I would drive a right hand drive classic.....like Ryan Weaver drives a left hand drive classic, Yikes!

I presume it is a customer order and not dealer or "off the lot" car sale?
Not much I can see on the build sheet showing an Aust order through an Autralian dealer, so Im guessing the car was ordered directly through the Los dealer.

Ordinarily, I'd suggest the image may have been part of a kit offered to dealers for ads placed in newspapers. But that prob wouldn't have been offered in Oz, so you may be onto something.

There's a similar two-tone car, with stripes, on this link:

The chevelle in the add also looks to be rhd and avail for sale,so you'd be right about the dealer kit.

Some may have seen over the weekend that another Australian Dealer delivered Chevelle showed up on Facebook.
It is said to have been sold thru Sacks Holden in Sydney in 1970.
The guy found it after it has been sitting in a barn for around 20 years and then in the open shed you see in the pics for 4 or 5.
He paid the grand total of 11k AUD or about $7,700 USD in today's money!
Half his luck I say!
