[FastEHHolden]

I know...I suppose to catch the best fish you need to use good bait


But why do the whackjobs and fly-by-nighters have to pick on G Paks....noone writes BS novels or breezes in, asks questions and never comes back when its an SL.

LEAVE G PAK'S ALONE!

Such hatred from pure lips!!!

It's an SL/R without the donk Red!!! (well... almost... if you squint and hop on one leg!)

It has the same donk as an SL/R (6-cyl).

The only real differences are no carpet, no timber tone dash & the suspension.

A G-Pak has the same engine, brakes, gearbox, diff, tyres, wheels, wheel trims, instruments, centre console & seats as an SL/R. It even got a radio, which the SL/R didn't (only AM, I know). Yes, there are minor differences in interior & exterior trim, but the cars were great value.

It was sold as a cheap sales package special, in a time when inflation was very high (Whitlam government). The price of a stock SL/R 6-cyl had risen to become unaffordable in a very short space of time ($3,200 to $5,700 in just over a year) & the G-Pak was effectively sold as a 'poor man's' SL/R. They were very popular in their day. Holden released one batch in Feb '75, which sold out immediately, so they made another batch later that same year.

Many people confuse the G-Pak with the Plus 4, which wasn't a good car. The Plus 4 only had the 1900 4-cyl Opel motor & a much lower equipment level. Both these cars were LH models, sold in the same choice of 3 colours, but with different striping.

I love GPAKS, My dad had one from when it was 6 months old. I remember seeing it on the lot at Warrington Motors and trading the HG ute in on it. It was a great car but despite the "G" actually standing for "GEAR", all the dealers called them "Garbage Pack".


As for
"ey people wots wrong with a gpak do u people have problem with them or u just nosey there good cars people have there on taste fast eh il get those numbers to u asap thanks for ur help champion"

Of late there has been some shit stirrers join up and cause some issues and the GPAK name seems to come up alot of late, most forumers will know what I am saying here. I'm hoping this latest new member is genuine.

Really, haven't noticed.

Anywho, welcome Gpakman and hope to see those pictures soon.

Just to restore some faith to all the Gpakers out there! You can make them look great!!!
