Actually, my Tickford edition AU II Ghia had a 3.45 LSD from factory, and all T series had a LSD too.
I've also heard that a number of XR's also had it too. |

It was an option on the XR and the T series had LSD AFAIK.

I remember seeing a AUII Futura wagon with a V8 badge on its front guard about a year ago.
Pretty rare car I would think. I wonder whether that would have had an LSD? An LSD was mandatory on a V8 without traction control and I don't think Futura wagons got traction control until the BF.

Not sure if it's legit, but here's what looks to be an AU2 Forte V8.

I wish the WA Transport Dept. had ordered Skip with a 5.0L V8... that would save me the future hassle!

+1 for the forte front on an xr8, heaps of series II xr8s without the bodykit. I would love to do it to a 220, have a real sleeper.
