Wonder if the numberplates are "BOGAN" :spoton:

Looks like its based on a LJ 2 door by the shape of the side glass

Cliff notes from the link above.

This is the comment from the person who took the photo.

anyone seen this before or know much about it? i drove past it in labrador (gold coast) a couple of days ago. it spun me out at first so i did a u-turn to go have a closer look...it's been built from a lc/j torana with a smallened (word?) rear end of a hktg van, and it has a one piece lift up tailgate, also what looked like flip out rear side windows, no back seat, it's even had the front hktg wheel arches moulded in. looking from underneath it's still a 6cyl, lc/j gtr dash too. don't know how well these pics will show up as i took them with my mobile phone. it's fully registered, according to rego label, only as a 197? holden panelvan.

I reckon it looks good..paint is a little out there..but what better way to be different.

I wanted to do a similar thing to my first UC hatch...the back end of it was stuffed by rust.

I remember seeing this one at the Brisbane Hot Rod show many years ago, it was odd looking then and obviously its still odd looking.

Flip the quarter windows back over so they're on the proper orientation, remove the ugly box style side skirts, weld in LC/LJ wheel arches instead of the HK/HT/HG versions, paint it an original colour and throw on some sprintmasters and I think it would be a lot more interesting :spoton:

maybe try and pass it off as a factory GMH experimental.
