Great looking FX sedan or 48-215 as some prefer to call them, I just call them humpies. Its always good to see an old Holden being used and they can pop up anywhere :ewink: On our last trip to Perth I found this well loved FJ in a carpark, absolute classic and it had the latest Hi-tech steering lock to keep any car thief at bay.
