I just discovered the REAL reason Chevy does not import the Holden UTE. It is all because of LBJ and his stupid taxes. The tax on the Trucks is still in effect!

He slapped a 25% tax on any light truck with just two seats not made in America. I guess the El Camino made in Mexico (like mine) was OK since it was a Chevy owned plant.

Now I guess the Holden production in Australia has ended. So no more Utes for anyone. Oh well. I will just keep driving my 32 year old El Camino.
