Rare WB One Tonner

[wbute]

This would be as unusual as rocking horse turds. A WB one tonner with factory bucket seats. Bet it was a factory fitted GTS dash too.

No rarer than a HJ-HZ tonner with factory buckets. I doubt the T-bar would be factory though, most likely a column shift. Dash may me factory, easily changed though.

HK any WB is rare these days with factory 2 seat capacity. As for being any rarer than a HJ-HZ I don't suppose it would be.

There's gotta be value in that at under $10k if what his write up says is right. (if you like your WB commershes). Seems like you can get some fairly tidy gear in the older oldens' for around that magic 10 grand mark. Sure beats spending 30/ 40K on a newbee which devalues before your eyes.
Hey, James, that thing would get you to the farm and back in style wouldn't it?

That is true, almost every WB Statesman was buckets though and plenty of Kingswood utes. Tonners would have been scarce with buckets, about the only ones I ever saw were BO6's.

@Q set yep would be a cool cruiser that is usable being a one tonner. Cant get the OK to re-register my WB ute at the moment though, so don't think buying another car at the moment is an option sadly.

I reckon its a factory fitted dash seats and console, but I don't know for @adam. Just looks to original to have been converted. Might have to man up and ask old mate.

@HK1837 I reckon that there were less factory bucket seat WB commercials about than in any other series. You just never see them for sale.

OK I emailed the seller asking him if he would satisfy my curiosity. It is factory bucket seats, factory T bar, factory GTS dash. So very rare and it would be a bloody nice one tonner if anyone out there was looking for something a bit different to the run of the mill ute and vans.

I still struggle to believe it is factory console shift. I'm prety sure it wasn't available on WB base model. You could get it on Kingswood ute. I don't have a WB ordering procedure though to prove either way. Just about every WB Kingswood ute I have ever seen has had buckets.
