bellett64  | No, these were built in Australia; GMH Holden's long-defunct Acacia Ridge plant in Queensland and included quite a high degree of local content. I have a Japanese-built Gemini (actually a US-market Opel by Isuzu) and despite a near-identical bodyshell, there are marked differences in the radiator, engine ancillaries, rear axle, rear brakes, gauges and trim. Springs and shocks were also locally sourced and differently rated to the JDM items. Five years too late, but whatever! |

| MisterZ | Unlikely to be an import, as parallel importing is illegal here, and the only way to bring a car in is if you owned it while living overseas and brought it with you as a personal import. Very few people do this. Found another 5E print ad here: ![[Image: 26a7dc8498b2b31effb2bb5610f51eaa.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7206/26a7dc8498b2b31effb2bb5610f51eaa.jpg) ![[Image: 26a7dc8498b2b31effb2bb5610f51eaa.1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7206/26a7dc8498b2b31effb2bb5610f51eaa.1.jpg) I find it funny that Australia was still using mpg in 1978, yet they were using the metric "kph" (incorrect abbreviation too). Today it's km/h of course, and L/100km. -- Last edit: 2018-01-28 03:01:38 |

| killstreak451 | what a waste i cant even find one of these on sale | 2018-01-24 04:14 | ||
walter  | Or maybe the other one is just an import? I can't find any rear pic of a australian 5E on internet to find out if they changed the badge | 2018-01-23 22:02 | ||
the sad biker  | Tecnically not a Wide Glide (FXWG) if the build history above is correct, model wasn't introduced until 1980, this is more likely a modified FXE Super Glide. | 2018-01-23 18:21 | ||
| MisterZ | Good question. According to Redbook, and Wikipedia, 5E was the named used in Australia. It was probably too expensive to change the 100 badges on the back just for the tiny Australian market. In any case, that other car should be listed as 1978+. |

| walter | What about this then /vehicle_270927-Audi-100-Typ-43-1977.html ? You can clearly read the Audi 100 badge | 2018-01-23 11:34 | ||

| MisterZ | This generation was not called the 100 in Australia, it was sold as the 5E, and went on sale in 1978. | 2018-01-23 09:23 | ||
| MisterZ | Not Leone - the Leone name was only adopted for the 2nd generation model in 1979 in Australia. These first generation models were known as either 1400 (1973-1975) or 1600 (1976-1978). | 2018-01-23 08:58 | ||

| killstreak451 | leone* | 2018-01-23 01:57 | ||
| killstreak451 | scene was filmed in australia so likely leon | 2018-01-23 01:55 | ||
| night cub | Depends where this was filmed. Locations listed are Los Angeles and Australia. Different model names were used. In the US, this body style started off as the GL Coupe, but changed to DL Coupe. I think they were Leone in Australia. | 2018-01-23 00:11 | ||

| killstreak451 | this one is in lhd and yet the phoenix is rhd. maybe the phoenix was a fury or polara | 2018-01-20 22:31 | ||
| maddog80 | Definitely a Grand Ville. A '73-'75 as the '71 and '72 did not use that emblem. | 2016-04-21 20:37 | ||
| BrentMosher420 | Shouldn't these be Model origin: 🇯🇵, seeing as it's a rebadged Isuzu?  |

| montrosepatriot | in the USA the Mopar C bodies (Fury, Polara) had the A38 police option - another Plodge product (this was done in Canada and Mexico where the Dodge nameplate was used)... | 2014-08-06 22:22 | ||
| profaen | True, it had a Chev motor. There were two almost identical jags built and owned by Natli enterprises, Kingswood Sydney. They also built the 2 shovelheads that Dolph rode. | 2014-02-11 13:02 | ||
| profaen | The bike in the PUNISHER was based on a 1974 Shovelhead Harley Davidson. Two identical bikes were built for the film by NATLI motorcycles in Kingswood, Sydney. No longer in business. Paul and Manuel also seviced the bikes during the film and provided 2 custom chev powered Jaguar cars as well. They did a great job. S&S carb, 2" belt drive primary drive, Triple disc brakes, raked, stretched and lowered. At the end of the movie, the Stunt Coordinator bought one and I bought the other one. I rode it for 8 years then sold it. Not sure what happened to the other bike, but I think it was wrecked. -- Last edit: 2021-01-04 07:35:24 |

| Sandie | Rubber bumpers came in in Mid-1973 therefore it is entirely possible for it to be a 1973 without them. | 2013-06-16 02:38 | ||
| G-MANN | 1973 with chrome bumpers? US market ones got black rubber bumpers that year. | 2013-06-16 02:32 | ||
carmaker1  | This isn't a 1980 model, as they don't exist stateside. The W116 450SEL 6.9 was sold as a 1980 model and was replaced with the 1981 W126. The 1980 model was only for non-U.S. markets, and 380SEL limousines were unlikely made compared to 500SEL and 560SEL limos. The U.S. 500SEL wasn't available until 1983 or early 1984 and this wouldn't even be one of them as it's a facelift model. This a 1986-1988 560SEL limousine. Please change it. -- Last edit: 2012-02-11 02:47:24 |

| Vanishing Point | From 1969 they did not make 400 of either the sedan or hardtop. The Limited Edition was even more limited than what CAL wanted! | 2011-02-20 13:38 | ||
| Vanishing Point | From late 1967 the Phoenix was assembled in Melbourne, not Adelaide, despite what it says on the plate! They ran out of space at Tonsley Park Adelaide and used the former Rootes Group plant at Port Melbourne (taken over by Chrysler the yeat before) to assemble them from CKD form alongside Hillmans. | 2011-02-20 13:33 | ||
Nightrider  | Damn. Fleetwood 60 Special, there wasn't "Series" in that period. | 2011-01-30 12:14 | ||
| mprmn340 | There was no 1972 model. The 1971 model was the last one, but were assembled in Adelaide from knock-down crates, imported from Canada, until about mid 1972 (month unknown). There were 400 saloons with the 318 v8 and 400 hardtops with the 383. These were truly lovely cars but, sadly, many have been given terrible 'street rod' paint jobs, lowered, now have huge mags...etc. They look awful. Ones in original condition are rare, and getting rarer. | 2011-01-30 12:03 | ||

| rjluna2 | Was the body from Australian made ambulance? | 2009-08-02 18:56 | ||
| bellett64 | This is a 1975-76 Holden TX Gemini sedan. Appears to have the early "Holden-Isuzu" script across the back as the "Holden Gemini" script of the mid 1975 cars was a more obvious shape than what can be seen here. It's parked on the wrong side of the road! Being an Aussie-built (Acacia Ridge plant, Queensland) and sold car, it is RHD, while the movie was made in Australia, it was set in a non-descript American city, hence why it may be parked on the wrong side. |
