New to the Forum but had Holdens since 1985. Sold my old Opaline Blue Belmont HQ 253/3-speed about 9 years ago in a moment of madness. This was the poor old thing....

I've missed it ever since so I decided recently that I'd replace it and bought this original Chrome Yellow Belmont HQ 202HC/Trimatic sight unseen with the intention of keeping it standard looking, but throwing a 308 in it.

When it turned up all numbers matched and it was way too good to cut up, so I went on the search again. Was out looking for FJ parts with my brother and came across a guy who had this Saffron Metallic Kingswood HQ 308 / Trimatic / 10-bolt sitting in a rough lean-to type shed with dirt floor. While it will never be worth any great sum of money, it's all matching numbers, so my intention for it will simply be to return it to as close to factory spec as possible. I can appreciate all Holdens, modified and standard, but I prefer the factory look. I just wanted one with a 308, and fortunately this thing was perfect for what I wanted.
