This car cost a lot more than 120K. The Verde Ithaca paint job was reported to have cost more than $25,000 alone. Considering the cars went for $150,000 new plus the fact that the interior was a one off special request. Apparently with all the other specially requested bits and pieces, the cars cost was closer to $300,000.

Just because some can afford to spend 120k or more on an Aussie muscle car does not mean that they don't have a Lambo , Ferrari , or whatever in the garage as well . Nothing wrong with being passionate about Aussie muscle cars !!!!! If you can afford it why not ? |

Is that the one that was painted in Lambo green?? Lots of buffing required to fix that mess.

Still looks like any other smashed Commodore on the side of the road. I would have picked a better colour for $25K as well.
That roof was crushed in pretty bad though

absolutely terrible!........tragic, one split second simple mistake and it's over
driving on the wrong side is, unfortunately, very common with overseas tourists regardless of how many stickers the hire companies put up in the windscreens

That stretch of highway is so bad every other month there is a fatality there. I don;t understand why as the road isn't that bad.

Old news and the owners daughter posted on Facebook over a year ago about the bogan stigma comments casting blame incorrectly.
The other car which caused the accident is in one of the accident photos. |

He'd have a brand spanking new one now anyway, that's what insurance is for.

The bloke who used to own it was one of my Dads customers. Tourist was on the wrong side of the road and it was on a blind corner around the Moranbah area. He and his wife were quite seriously injured and one of the occupants in the other vehicle were killed sadly. He also bought the wreck back, while also purchasing a new E3 GTS that has now got all the usual bolt on's along with a very angry cam. Sounds insane! Anyway, very tragic for the family of all involved.

not easy to know what to do when an oncoming vehicle is on your side of the road regardless of how much time is available
I've experienced this 3 times, twice recently, I avoided them by various means, driver asleep or just crossed over by mistake 3rd time, a long time ago, a young feller used me as his ticket off the planet.....haven't driven semi's since
