1975 G60 with 350 Chevy and turbo 400. Club reg’d. Currently straight gas.

Or 2002 GU coil cab 4.2 diesel N/A but has turbo to be fitted.

One of them needs to go.
GU has mod cons like coil springs and A/C. G60 does not. But does have the ‘cool’ factor.

GU any day for me Kat. G60 will be a niche market.

But you're still keeping Katrol? If so I would be keeping the G60.

Katrol wont be going nowhere. We just don’t need two 4x4 utes.

What's your main use for a ute Kat?
Touring? GU
Towing ? GU
High country trips? GU
Showing? G60
Club trips? G60
Daily? GU
Sentimental? G60
Depends what you need it for IMO.

You already have a GU, The G60 wins here IMO. If you didn't have Katrol, then the GU wins.

Agreed. The 60 is a classic and hard to find. Patrol utes are a dime a dozen so if the need ever arises can be replaced easy. Not the case for the 60 though.

Exactly plassy Katrol answers all the GU questions. I know which one I’d prefer, I have a soft spot for the 60 and I do love the v8s. And at $75 a year for reg, it’s a winner for me. Now to convince the old boy.

Yeah just got my $761.50 GU annual rego notice. That's 10 years for the G60! If it's not a daily then I'll change my original response and go for the classic!

If it's not a daily then I'll change my original response and go for the classic!Wouldn't matter if the G60 was a daily, why would you have a GU wagon and a GU ute? If you needed to carry shit, then why wouldn't you just have a trailer? Cheaper to rego, cheaper to imsure and so much cheaper to maintain etc etc etc. At least it's all metal (other than the tyres) [emoji12]

Neither the 60 or katrol are daily’s anyway. As you know steve has a problem , we pretty much have one car for every day of the week [emoji23][emoji23]

I'll be the odd one out. Keep the GU and get rid of the rest. Scrapyard pays well these days with price of metals.

Yep, scrap yards don't want GU's... too much plastic not enough metal.

We're gonna need a Top Gear style five round competition filmed and up loaded for our judging.
Some stages I suggest would be; biggest air, longest burnout, furthest underwater, most metres on two wheels..

Wash your mouth out Hodgey!
If I could have my old MK Shorty back in the same condition I sold it 15 years ago, I would swap my GU for it in a heart beat.
