I think that I had confused most of you with this car. The easy part was that this is a Utility or Ute, the Australian pickup. And yes it is a car that was build by Chrysler Australia from 10/1975-10/1976 and it is based on the Chrysler Valiant VK. The VK Utility it was sold as a Dodge according to my source. Although a different source listed that there were also Valiant VK Utility. The brochures that I found are only Ddge VK's. The Dodge name was used for the cheaper versions of the Chrysler Valiant VJ Utility or Chrysler Valiant VH Utility. Maybe some of our members down under can clarify this. Some members who sent in an answer said Chrysler Valiant Ute, but missed the correct version. They mention either VH or VJ but both are the predecessors. Sorry for that. The following members l said Dodge VK Utility: porschercr matthijsgrit GeeBee DonW dw1603 Bucky Congratulations

OH sh.. where was my brain. s a Ford guy I had wrote complete nonsense about this one. Yes it is based on the Rambler American and the IKA Torino. Thanks to Ace -Garageguy and ChrisR for correctingmy mistake. Sorry for that. Here the correct version. In 1967 Lutteral started to modify to IKA Torino which was based on the Rambler American. The Lutteral Comahue was born. In 1971 the front gets a fibreglass extension and was build as a GTA 220 (220hp), GTA 195 (195hp), Coupe 175 (the car that I'm looking for) and station wagon Safari 175. In 1977 came a fastback version. in 1979 Lutteral ends production. The correct answer were sent by: IBuildScaleModels porschercr dw1603 Bucky ChrisR Ace-Garageguy Congratulations

This weeks car was a 1966 - 1971 Jensen FF (FF stands for Ferguson Formula). The FF was the first production 4x4 passenger car, long before the AMC Eagle, Audi Quattro and Subaru Leone. It was based on the Jensen Inteceptor which was 12.7 cm (5") shorter and had only 1 side opening, while the FF had 2. Only 350 were build it wasn't a commercial success compared to the Interceptor. No convertibles were produced. It seems that this one was an easy quiz because 15 out of 17 got the correct answer Matt Bacon sjordan Bucky dw1603 Richard Bartrop Pete J.

Here the new quiz for you. This time the idea for th equiz came from Matt Bacon. Thanks Matt. As usual sent a PM with Year, Make and Type

This time some of you though this quiz is to simple. But it wasn't. In the first view it looks like a VW Thing or Type 181 but it has 2 door instead of 4 like the Thing. This car is a 1974 Pingo from Uruguay. Some sources say 1973. While the Thing is based on a Karman Ghia chassis is Pingo based on a Beetle chassis. The Beetle is smaller in width than the Karman Ghia one. The body has 2 doors because it wasn't stable enough for 4 doors and it is made out of fiberglass. Only 12 were build before VW do Brazil stopped delivery of VW Fuscia (Beetle) chassis. They want to sell their Thing instead of the Pingo. The correct answer were sent in by dw1603 GeeBee ChrisR matthijsgrit Ace-Garageguy sjordan2 Kollefornia Kid and stitchup gets 1/3 credits because he couldn't decide which of the three cars that he mentioned is the car of the quiz
