So you have a Holden Commodore SS Ute (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/holden%20commodore) and, for some vexing reason, you want it to look more like the American-market Chevrolet Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro). Well, we've got good news for you. An enterprising young soul from Victoria, Australia has worked up just such a kit. With new sheetmetal from the A-pillar forward and a custom Camaro nose cap, the end result is as close to a Camaro-meets-El-Camino mutation as you're likely to find. This particular example was spotted outside of a Nashville, Tennessee tuner.
We have to say that while the Commodore SS (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/commodore%20ss) Ute is as handsome as can be right from the factory, the Camaro nose doesn't exactly do the car an injustice. There's no word on exactly how much the conversion kit will set you back, though with all of the appropriate pieces and sheetmetal, we'd be surprised if the final price tag were less than $5,000 - before paint. Worth it? That's a conversation you'll have to have with your wallet.
