That is an amazing car. I'm an American and I'll tell you what you guys have some of the coolest cars I've seen. It amazes me to see how passionate you Australians are with your cars. You guys have the most badass 4 door cars on the planet!! I enjoy watching this channel because it give me inspiration & it gives me something different to watch than what I'm use to seeing hear in the states. Thank you guys and keep up the awesome videos. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

bullshit mate you know nothing about Australia, the place is heavily regulated with so many restrictions most of the cars are all little baked bean cans conformed so you don't bring attention and anyone looking for attention on the street is hounded until the ends of the earth by the constabulary, you want to see some nice cars I lived in NZ for 23 years over in that place you are still allowed to drive fully blown cars legally on the road as long as it passes everything through an engineer , in Australia you are only allowed to go so far so most people do not bother

Dont let his attitude put you off. Like every other kiwi that now lives here in australia, he's carrying on about how much better NZ is. ( yet they left...go figure) Ironically, the NZ car culture, while pretty cool.. is full of cars made in the countries they profess to be so much better than. Anyway, we have some beasts here, as do you guys. So long as its loud, fast and has the right number of cyls in the right configuration, it's all good :)

I remember seeing this ute, in the green, on the cover of Custom Vans & Truck mag when I was a kid, it blew my mind. At the time nothing like this was being built in Australia. Great to see it again.

That looks spectacular! 😮

Another bad as vid from street machine! I'm from the u.s. and absolutely love Aussie car culture and you guys provide me a window into something I can't come see first hand. Maybe someday though!

i recall this car in my father's workshop in Gladstone Rd Dandenong having work done on the auto trans when I was in my mid teens.

You can tell that JZ jr is very very proud of his father's iconic Ute and wanted to do it justice.

I remember this car in the SM magazine when it was " Black Art " , awesome car ! This re-build is going to look awesome too ! :)

found your channel buy 1320 video &farmtruck great videos . this is what it is about family great cars and stories. love it all from U.S.A. KEEP IT GREAT.

Thanks mate, make sure you check out the Carnage builds.

This car is a work of art on wheels i love it epic work👍

This ute was burnt into my brain as a kid, every car I've ever built has been inspired by that cerebral tattoo

I can see the grille bars extending down on to the front spoiler, with the same point in the centre! Maybe 3 of them? That finish of the gun is top notch!

What a fun machine. So many design details in there that just work so well. I like the subtle asymmetry.

loving the paint on this also my dad remembers this car when it was first done i want to do the same thing for my dad with a HQ pannel van that he had years ago and his mate wrote it off just after getting rego done it 30+ years ago.

Also that beast was parked right next to TEDS cafe on ballarat road near rockbank ie: ( NOW MOBILE Servo) when mad max was filmed. :)

Cars like this should never be lost or forgotten

it makes me happy that this still exists

Seriously beautiful car and a ripper back story / history to boot. Thanks for the peek, cheers boys.

I have very fond memories of this car when it was first built and it was stunning then & equally stunning now thanks to the efforts of all of those who contributed to its refurbishment.

So happy this beast has been restored! Look after her!

I remember reading about this years ago. Nice that they decided to take it back to an evolution of the original custom build.

Cool! Glad the original designer was there to see it reborn

The plates on the walking frame... 👌🏻

These guys are freaking artists, well done

It is great to see the level of preservation reserved for this historic vehicle. This is history.

Love to see the old school HJ Statesman fronts with the lower grille set up and also with the HZ statesman tail lights as well, all on HJ/HZ monaros and the windup sunroofs as well ,in fact my Brother had a HZ just like that with sunroof and also the checkered black and white seats, now i bet he is spewing he sold it and you will never guess what he traded it in for ,a Toyota corolla ,little 4 cylinder crap thing which cost him more to fix using genuine parts than what he got for the monaro and this was in 1990?

well done with the re build . I remember the first time I watched Mad Max I thought that ute with the Benz front was amazing. great to see it born again.what about the VW trike with the XR Fairmont tail lights?

Killa paint job👌

I first saw the car in mad max and instantly fell in love with it. To bring it back to life and see it again I’m still in love with it!! Fantastic work to all involved. Hoping to see it in real life would be a tick in the bucket list well done guys

More in depth video of this car please , include original Streetmachine article and family photos !!! Interview the old man and we are happy !

Love this ute

What a great custom! Love the Mercedes headlights and old school rims that aren´t too big which allows them to actually have some tire going on.

Hats off to Zeigler sr. That car is so smooth. Took me a minute to search on web to find out what the car was. I'm a big movie buff and mad max was and is a great movie. Love the car outside the diner. It should have been displayed more in the movie. I wld love to have that custom!

That uste was in street machine mag, just after the movie came out or just before it came out, remember the filming of it and going to TEDS cafe just of the western hwy, which is now a 7 /11 or truck stop, which it was back then re: truck stop . :)

Such a great result. Awesome car!

Such a unique car i love it and great paint job.

Pretty neat story. And pait job. While keeping the history of the build. 👍👍

There one thing for sure there no replacement rust panels in that HJ Holden Ute good to see it back from the further .

Wow great car and really enjoyed the story as well keep up the good work 👍

The paint was originally British Racing Green ( I believe) with a shit load of clear over the paint, ie: paint, then sanding it smooth again, paint, then sanding it, like about 5 times and clear over each time. :) basically a mirror effect once finished. :) also the tow car and other cars used in the movie will be at the mad max 40th reunion, cant wait . :)

Someone needs to track down the one with the Torana hatch and the chev V6 that used to be at the Rockhampton car show back in the mid to late 90's. I would love to see it again.

beautiful paint dude has skill

I loved that car in the movie. Whatever happened to old ford coupe that had flames similar to the California kid car?

the Chev Impala that the toe cutters beat to death?

I had a poster of it in the green .... wish i still had it.

@ 11:11 mark in the middle of the screen you can see where the tape mark has left a little smudge after the painting process and the black with the candy red has lifted up the paint, shame, really very good job, i am sure they will go over it and fix up an issues they see ?

What's up I think the car is alsome beautiful it definitely brings back a lot of memories the movie mad Maximus one of the movies that actually got me into cars and hot rods and race cars and stuff I was a kid when I first seen it and I definitely remember it in the movie I'm glad that you all are put it back to how it was except for the color but I like to read better that car is like a piece of history man that's awesome you all actually read it it too hot used to be cool seen it man again all nice and beautiful again have a good one

Awesome to see this car again, wonder what happened to the blow back ute from the same era

Blowback is sitting in a backyard rusting away sadly. Was for sale not long ago for about $40k from memory. For a rusting half wreaked shell.

Are those headlights from an old Mercedes? There was a similar ute built back in the day that had an 'aero top' instead of the targa top like on this one but had no spoiler. It was also featured in Street Machine magazine but i cant find pics of it anywhere.

Its just begging for a new Wheel & Tyre package, and its finished!

Also the Mad Max 40th reunion is coming up in clunes in FEB 2019, the best of the cast are going to be there and i have official photos from the Miller Producers art team ( used for the crash scenes etc ) and will get it all signed as well. :) Just hope and prey Mel will be able to come over. :)f

Wow them back flares! They'll cut your knee if your not careful walking past it

i think its really cool

I also like the asymmetrical grille. Von dutch would have been proud.

I LOVE THIS CAR SOOOO MUCH

Awesome

This vid has some excelent music and what a bitchin car man !!! My favorite UTE ever !!! The gold on the rear panels should be like the original green is the only eye sore ...

the less they touch yet the bloody thing is paint back instead of the green, lol :) please just do a resto, so its back to what the original mad max holden ute is supposed to look like for gods sake?

love those hotwires at 2:41

Caution: Spoiler Alert!
