Hemmings Find of the Day – 1971 Dodge VG ute

Published by Mike on July 2, 2013

We’re almost used to seeing Australian Ford Falcons and even the Australian Chrysler Chargers here in the States, but this 1971 Dodge VG ute for sale on Hemmings.com has to be the only one of its kind stateside. It looks to be in rather nice shape, too – complete and ready to run, if you can get used to driving on the right side of the car. From the seller’s description:

The Ute was sold new in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa…Right hand drive…New for 1971 245 CI Hemi inline 6-engine…3-Speed automatic transmission…ice cold a/c, white with tan…Saddle leather interior.
