Just got an email from ebay (as probably most ebayers might have got too? lol)

They're selling off the last 'customised' Monaro by ebay Auction with procedes going to the Leukaemia Foundation

members.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...rid=lastholdenmonaro

Dean I think $6,000,100 is a bit much for a tarted up 2 door Commodore.

I hope they don't get too many stupid bidders, they just waste every ones time.

Don't know how keen on buying the "last" Monaro, knowing that they are still cranking out 18,000 of the a year for the middle east, USA and England

The GTO's been scrapped in the US. GM is not even going to use the same platform for anything else.

Robert - I have no idea where you got that figure from!?
its on 152K from what I can see

But what's wrong with raising some money for Leukaemia research??????

They might be churning them out overseas, but it says the last of the Australian Holden Production line...

dont shoot the messenger

Ya...$152,200 is the current bid all in 12 hrs... still has 9 days and 12 hrs to go...I reckon it'll go for 300K... but you'd want a certificate from GM saying it is DEFINATELY the last...

You notice that the Yanks don't mention that "their" GTO was manufactured in OZ.---but I did hear on one Nascar race coverage that there was a "mention" about that.

LOLOL...."WATCH THIS SPACE" I doubt I'll put in a bid..(and you have to register to bid too!!!)

They must have withdrawn the fake bidders.

New Camaro will be built off the New Commodore platform but will be built in US or Canada, not Australia.

From the latest Motortrend magazine on the new Camaro - and no mention of it actually going into production but the journo's have guess-timated 2009 or 2010 if it actually does:
----------
GM announced last year it was axing plans to use the Australian designed and developed Zeta rear-drive platform for a range of new cars, most notably the next generation Pontiac GTO. But it now appears rear drive is back on the agenda. The difference is GM will use key elements of the Zeta platform to develop specific cars for the US market rather than take the platform wholesale from its Australian subsidiary Holden. The other big change to the plan? The next generation GTO is dead.

Much of the hardware already exists to make the rear drive Chevys a reality. Entry level cars could be powered by GM's new 3.6 litre high feature V6 with 235 or 255 horses; the engine has already been engineered for rear drive to power Holden's all new VE Commodore, which goes on sale in Australia later this year.
----------

There's also spy shots of the VE Commodore testing in the US.

I don't know if the yanks could make a decent rear drive car with out help from Australia or Europe.

When Ford released the last Lincoln Crown Victoria (the main car used by Police and taxis drivers in the US) they were going on about the "new" control link suspension (or what ever they called it). It was basically a watts link suspension as used on the 1982 for falcon. Complete with live rear axle.

There is a list of cancelled bids there(maybe 100 or so)..one was $15,000,000 a couple of $10,000,000 one $6,000,000 and there have been a couple of bids between $1 million and $5 million.. plus many above 500,000 but the bids have been cancelled because you have to register to bid and these bids were unverified bidders.
A great idea to sort out the nutter bidders---
The current "legitimate"bid is $160,100 at the time of this post (2-00pm Friday)
