Some may have seen over the weekend that another Australian Dealer delivered Chevelle showed up on Facebook.
It is said to have been sold thru Sacks Holden in Sydney in 1970. The guy found it after it has been sitting in a barn for around 20 years and then in the open shed you see in the pics for 4 or 5. He paid the grand total of 11k AUD or about $7,700 USD in today's money! Half his luck I say!

From what I know about export vehicles, GM didn't export them to Oz. But local Oz dealers did import a few. Hence the buildsheets note CA dealers, from which the Oz dealers bought them.

Guy on Facebook owns a 69 Impala 427/390hp 4spd with bucket seats/console that was shipped to Australia and converted around 1970 as I recall. Pretty amazing to see!

If you haven't driven a manual RHD, it's different. For the 1-2 shift LHD, you pull down and towards yourself. With a RHD 1-2, you pull down but away from you! Pulling towards you can get a 1-4 shift.
And it's hard to overcome learned habits - I've been in corners and try to downshift by grabbing the door handle. Oh yeah, use the left hand....
