They also had a boat that had a LS1 engine you could get in the same package. (I think from memory the boat trailer was styled only the lines of the HRT Ute..

ok ls6 whatever, but it was only a concept not an actual production vehicle

It wasn't a concept it was a limited edition job..

This official hsv link seems to suggest otherwise http://www.hsv.com.au/news/2001/hrtute.htm

The HRT Maloo will be used to test market reaction while it is on display at the Sydney International Motor Show. If it's positive, aspects of the next production Maloo could bear a striking resemblance to the concept car

I personally would love to see Chevrolet bring the UTEs over here. I think they would sell really well. I've got an '84 SS which I really love and have always used as both a sports car and a truck. The styling on those Holdens is pretty nice and I could see GM either doing a nice Chevy-style front end conversion to match their current line or screwing it up somehow. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a future El Camino even though it's not looking too likely.
