I've got a 2004 K2700 kia lil truck and I is a weapon pulls my car trailer around town beautifully or 2 tonne of soil no worries pretty sure its got Same motor

Gawd... I haven't seen one of these out in the wild for YEARS. They used to be everywhere, like the MB100 (which have all vanished too)

In Indonesia, this car was sold as "luxury-cheap" van, the market target was the middle class families that needed big-reliable-comfortable car. It was like Mazda E2000 but Diesel and bigger. As time passes from the time it was released, it is now popular as a commercial vehicle for transport companies the price of a used Pregio is cheaper than buying Hiace/Isuzu Elf or even Hyundai Grace that is known to be rare. Maybe there is another version of Pregio to be sold by Kia, which is the Kia Travello, however many companies prefer Pregio as the suspension is way more comfortable than the Kia Travello which the chassis is based on the Kia Based Up. However, there's one downside of the Pregio. The engine power isn't that good on hilly terrains.

Hawt

Rather push a Datsun Sunny than drive a rusty Heeyun Die Excel with mediocre hubcaps and 1.5 growled like a Mitsubishi/Chrylser Galant.

Enjoyed the off road action, keep up the good work

glad you mentioned its an opel. most holden guys have no idea.

The yellow monaro is 186, I can tell from the badge on the front of the guard.

what happened with the Bees

So Reliable for me, just scored a mint condition 1993 Camry with 180000ks yeww

My first car I owned was a 1964 Austin Freeway.

Even in later life these cars are beautifull

That would be a sweet frame swap project woahh

ledged? learn how to spell.

who gives a fuck ? leave shitboxes where shitboxes belong

Yeah N.T. has heaps of Commodore wrecks ,mainly indigenous cars.

poor opel omegas....

I wonder if that was a Hillman? Something about it reminds me of a 1920s Hillman 14 tourer. The radiator is about right and the headlights mounted on a crossbar. Not sure about the front wings - there is a crease margin I’ve not seen on a Hillman. The other possibility is a Holden, which I think is more likely.

I've had a HQ Kingswood, HX and HZ tonner and Ute and I'm not afraid to say I'm a proud owner of a 1997 3 door 5 sod air con excel. I bought it for $300 at far west Sydney and a mate put a new clutch in it fuel filter leads plugs and oil change any the little car performs very sound and reliably. Like yours I take it outback Australia. It has a uniden CB in it a single din Sony stereo system in it that's the same price I bought it for 7 years ago. Stedi flood / spot lightbar at the front and two Stedi mining spec flood lights facing outward as ditch lights. I bought it with 140000 on it and it's now I think it's up to 280000km. I fully trust it driving the same sort of off roads your doing and would contribute a few 10000ks to that treatment.. To get yourself out of a big situation all you need is buy those interlocking rubbery tiles ( the ones that are about 2' x 2' x 12mm ) that have round holes in them, keep about 8 of them in the boot and place them under the wheels and you can get the Excel out of any hell bog by driving out on them as I found out... Before I used shade cloth tho the tiles are the bomb. It's my second excel. The other one is in the paddock for a doner car. So long as you don't flog the arse out of them I'm convinced I could get 500000 with the motor. My other car is a AWD 2007 ford territory tho I keep the battery off that as I prefer my little Excel for long distance travel. You get used to the full driving experience of hearing the different sized road aggregates under the wheels in the outback and that's all part of the joy in driving a simpler super reliable tiny car.. Monologue over. Yeah ❤ the Excel lol

Stolen for sure…….

I am interesting in these, thanks!

yeah bloke, very interesting vids for sure, more please :)

I realise that they are not pacers ....but American Plymouth Valients are available mostly rust free and straight bodies in the South West and west of America . Get some friends together and buy several and ship them in a container along with all the parts you need. Two people could get over for about 10k ausie much better than rebuilding one of these . Also Brazil had a two door Charger based off the valient . Hey in America Dodge had a version called the Dart also cheers

found a v8 hq wagon up on an abandoned property in the dandenong ranges vic. so sad to literally be able to see the forest floor through the holes in the roof and floor pan

VG had vented disc

Owned 3 pacers 👍🏻🇦🇺

Cool video mate Ive had my pacer since 86 I was living in Kambalda in early 90s there used to be a couple of VF Pacers at the back of red hill and even a vh pacer at the bone yard at the Kambala speedway also lots of cool old wrecks in the surrounding bushland plus later when I was living in Narrabeen there was a boot hill outside of town were all the locals used to park up all the wrecks lots there at the time not sure it's there anymore but may be worth a look

That fist one somehow has relatively good bumper, boot lid and quarters

I love American AU cars because they are more spicier then the ones we have in the US, "they look nicer"! Thanks for the video!😁

Best part when you can reuse parts or even the car itself

Man I'd love to see that fixed up Body looks decent I'd download that car tbh

Wooah those Ks! That would have held so many memories Crazy how it just ends up like that TBF could be used just convertible it lol

No reception out most places so I'm gonna download this Cheers for the tips

How do you establish who owns them? Im guessing they were stolen and dumped years ago

I have never seen a blue streak spin a bearing and I’ve owned several, so I’ll have to take your word for that.

i fort, i fink, i seen...come on man...did you go to school?

very uninteresting cars indeed.back in the day, we called them wog chariots.

Free pacers! (Minus fuel and other costs)

The cocky wont sell it because he "might fix her up one day"

Alot look like they were recently dumped id say, bet it wasn't too long b4 most became just a burnt shell

There were GT's dumped/stolen/burnt just like anything else, but they are, and always were, so desirable that anything that could be salvaged was salvaged. Even a povo pack XR-XY will start a bidding war no matter the condition :P I never found anything special about Monaros myself but each to their own, I'd take a Kingswood over one any day, but a Falcon or a Valiant would be preferred. As for the modern plastic "Monaro".... even though I never liked the original personally, I still think it was disgusting what they did to the name/badge with those disgusting two door plastic commonwhores :( whoever cut that one up did the world a favour imo <3

Takes me back as a 27 year old i remember them all over the place. Mostly in 2006-2013 when all the p platers had them Mostly in Balga and places :) STILL see the odd one or 2 BUT they getting thin now. I guess the GETZ is the next one we wont see soon. GOD that Lantra at perth motor plex i remember that one HAHA The good ol demo derbys :P

A fair few so-called “Aussie muscle cars” ended up burnt out in reservations in the 70’s! Make of that what you will. Fact by tow truck driver and repo man.

The Ba barra and the au sohc probably would still run with a good restoration on the motors 😂 purely Aussie built tuff

My uncle was no angel in the 70's as a teenager and apparently there should be roughly half a dozen Monaros, Ford XB GT, a couple toranas and some valiants in the Port river south Australia 🤫😂

They were junk before they were abandoned.

This hurt to see.

stolen.. back in the late seventies two mates of mine had HQ monaros and ended up selling them as the were sick of arseholes trying to steal them

Some c##ts got nuthing better to do

I think that first ones an escort im looking at mine and it looks to be the same plenum
