Not a Mopar, and not very old.

It's not Mopar, but we like it

Is it the same as a Maloo or a different model.

Young Roger can work his magic on those! 8-)

The Maloo, is the Holden Special Vehicles UTE, it has 342 hp LS1 , bigger brakes and suspension. = expensive but nice hooligan truck
:D
My one is an SS, top of Holden Vehicles range 302 hp LS1 big disc all round, LSD, traction control/ABS, FE2 suspension. Still a hooligan truck but second fiddle to the Maloo

Maloo has slightly more aggressive styling.but looks similar.

But like having a Sierra XR4 or a Sierra Cosworth, both nice quick cars, but the Cosworth is the top dog :thumbright:

When i was in Auckland a few years back, i popped in to the local HSV dealer.
Got talking to one of the sales reps and he said he had another Brit (pom?) in recently who just bought a Maloo.
'The one from the Prodigy with the funny haircut' he said.
A bit of a petrolhead apparently, is Liam.

Great looking truck by the way, I think these earlier ones look much better without the 'nostrils' & spoilers.

Liam from the Prodge has or had a '68 Charger, I sold him a sure grip for it and a friend of mine painted it. We apologise for this announcement, normal service will be resumed....

Well I've got it now. It arrived the Friday before Christmas 23rd December, I bought it in the early part of September :shock:
The battery didn't survive the 3 month journey, but all else is as I expected.
Just needs a rear fog lamp and switch. All checked out MOT wise , so should be MOTed next week.
