Shovel nose is correct, the wagon was fully imported. As a young 18 year old, I purchased my new 180B from Latrobe Valley Motors at $5,280. It had 70% local content, paint runs on the rear of the front guards, window winders snapped so I changed them to the imported ones, front Aussie tombstone seats ratchet broke after 13 months, Lucas alternator gave in and all panel fits were all over the place between doors and guards, For some reason all the Aussie parts were Pfffftttttt! In ‘85 a ‘73 Cortina in Wantirna rear ended my 180B at the lights, it got towed away, I got a sledge hammer, bashed out the guard and drove her to Morwell. It was written off by AAMI and they paid me out $5,200 even though she had 250,000 plus K’s I purchased the twin SU’s, Aunger Triden wheels and the bob tail off AAMI and put in on the 5 Speed SSS I found in pristine condition as in your video, stock standard. The SSS was always trouble free and fit and finish was exceptional The ‘76 SSS I think cost me around $3,500 and sadly sold it around ‘90 for $7,500 I also bought the ‘76 Wagon in ‘89 in average condition. Always loved the shape of the SSS Coupe and still believe it looks pretty good today.
