An auction bidder pays $750,000 for "the last car ever produced at Holden Australia" even though General Motors says "absolutely the last Holden" is sitting in the National Motor Museum, not for sale.

The final Holden built in Australia is set to go under the hammer this weekend.
While the last Holden Commodore to officially roll off an Australian production line and out the doors of the Elizabeth plant has been kept by US car giant General Motors, the final Commodore to pass through the body and paint shops (where the vehicle s panels were assembled and painted) is up for auction at the end of this month. This car differs to the one that Holden [has] advertised as the last one on the assembly line, which was prepared in advance of its assembly date, a spokesperson for Lloyds Auctioneers said.
A super-rare ute is predicted to sell for $1 million at auction, which would be the highest price for a Holden Special Vehicle (HSV) ever.
The 2017 HSV GTSR Maloo W1 is one of only four ever made and is located in Victoria.
With just three weeks before the auction ends the ute has already hit $747,125 including the auction premium, making a million dollar price tag highly likely.
