The one with the ADR's didn't come out very clear, but it's 4-74 (or 6-74), 3 seat. Car is 16km out of town in my brothers shed now, so if you'd like a clearer pic I'd need a day to get it. I thought I had one but it's not on my phone.
Numbers on the bottom of the second tag are L31, M40 and GV3. Car was originally from Wellington NSW.

Unreal. Good options. Must be all but a Sandman except for the seating capacity.
Yeah Mate, it was too good to leave there. It's a good solid old ute with very minimal rust, and the main thing I was after, a 308. It just needed a good clean. It had apparently sat since last registered in 2005, but after a quick check over, new oil and filter, new air filter, flush the radiator etc it started straight away and runs well. It'll get restored over time. I need to stop buying more though, and just restore one. I just thought I should grab a couple now before they all disappear, otherwise I'd never find one. (The Azure Blue one is just a Belmont, 173, 3-speed manual)

wbute......mate you're probably not far from me. I'm an hour from Wellington too. The guy I bought it from had a stack of old Holdens (FJ's, HG's, HQ, HR van, HD Utes), and he suggested they were all for sale. He had a really nice 6cyl Belmont in that burnt brown/orange sort of colour (I can't think of the name) that looked totally standard. It looked to have minimal if any rust and only needed a dent in the nose cone near the left hand light pulling out, nothing major. I didn't get a photo of it though. I was talking to him about picking up both of them but in the end he was reluctant to sell both utes to one person, so the other one is still there. He did say he might "get around to doing that one up" one day but he wont. He's had cars that he's been doing up for 20+ years apparently. In the package we were talking it was going to work out at about $4k for the 6cyl, but I thought it was well worth that. If you want to catch up with him let me know and I'll send you some details of his location.

Very nice collection you got there
yeah I had some contact with the seller. such a small world ay. Im a massive fan of the saffron. What a sick combo! Like a brickies car - stinkin big motor, huge trans. Made for carrying the labourers and pulling a trailer
