Some people need a sedan, some need a truck, and still others just want a hardcore performance car. All of those people might be into this excellent used car in Washington. It’s a Pontiac GTO converted into a Holden Crewman and, in theory, checks all of the boxes.
The last version of the Pontiac GTO that came to America was just a rebadged Holden from Australia. Fans of the Aussie brand have understandably embraced it, while some others have gone to questionable means to bring some closely related Holden models into our shores. It’s unclear what the seller of this particular car did to end up with it as it sits, but it’s cool regardless.
The truck itself appears to be a combination of the Pontiac GTO’s front clip mixed with the cabin and bed of a Holden Crewman. We’ve seen Utes here in America and even a few Holden Wagons but this is something very unique.

This Crewman seats five, has a bed out back, and produces glorious exhaust sounds from its 6.0-liter naturally-aspirated LS2 V8. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an automatic gearbox (the only drawback) and it can evidently tow up to 5,000 pounds. That’s right, this thing will allegedly tow more than a base 2024 Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck. It’ll be better to drive and fit just as many people too.
It’s listed for a cool $37,000 in Longview, Washington, and has allegedly been the seller’s daily driver for the last two years. As such it comes with approximately 34,300 miles on the odometer and a cloth interior that doesn’t appear to be perfect. However, it shouldn’t be too tough to maintain since so many parts come from General Motors.
The only potential downside is that it could prove tough to register in some states. The seller didn’t post any photos of the VIN, but it does appear to have the build plate from Australia. It’s just as possible that a state agency wouldn’t look twice and would simply issue a title based on the one it allegedly already has.
