They didn't make a gts ute, only coupes and sedans.

if the hj is registered legit & engineered with a 350 chev, that might be worth something as getting hard to find. Maybe he means the GTS Guard flutes. his Ingrish is bery paad

I'll give you the hot tip, it doesn't make 250rwkw. Not with that manifold. And a "mild" 350 wont make that sort of rwkw. Put it this way, PROGMH's old 350 was like 10.5:1 comp, solid cam, DART heads, 830 Annular Holley, all the gear... went 238rwkw and 11.44 @ 114mph.

As mentioned previously there's no such thing as a HJ GTS ute. Sandman was the highest option in panelvan and utility. I'd be asking for dyno sheets for that 'over 250rwkw' run. You'd be turning it pretty hard to get that and I doubt a 650 carb would keep enough fuel up to it.

anything with GTS style guards would be referred to as a GTS these days despite not being genuine.

"without rpm correction factors and a barometric fudged shootout mode!!"

Still wouldn't. 250hp at the engine is a more realistic figure, but even then....
