On a sideline to that.... VN commodores sold to NZ had Starfire 4's in them. I worked on one in Sydney many years ago... lifted the bonnet - expected to see a V6 in there.....
and I said "holy crap! what's going on here????"


Cheers, Mudgy

The ToadPacer was a pretty cool run of cars. It's one of the weird GMH export quirks, similar to the HQ's that GMH exported with a 130ci inline red six, and the LHD vehicles (including FB/EKs).
