So Red,

 

Didn't the A9X have a bolt in piece to do the UC connection,

 

which is the only bit like the UC.  :D

 

Complete fiction!

 

EDIT:-

 

The A9X borrowed a section of the rear floorpan from the new UC Torana to allow the vastly improved Radial Tuned Suspension (RTS) geometry and fitment of the much stronger Salisbury rear axle assembly complete with disc brakes. This made the A9X the first Holden ever to be fitted standard with rear discs, and the Salisbury differential also meant the extra tall 2.60:1 ratio could be used.

False and False.

 

48-215 had two headlights, as did FJ through to whenever. HK was the first to get quad or 4 x headlights on both Premier sedan model and Premier wagon model.

 

Others got the Brougham.

 

Leo tried hard to get quad lights on GTS but wasn't allowed until HZ.
