However it really comes down to the condition of the body and how original it is, also how many butcher modifications have been made to it.
If I found one in good order and original I would grab it and put it in my shed. They are my favourite HQ-WB commercial vehicle and I value them more highly than most people probably.
I wouldn't touch one with rust in it though. Lifes too short.
Yep, I have wanted a WB since I was 5yrs old.. and got that now, and I want to get a genuine V8 Kingswood ute to go with the daily driver.. And still have it later to have as a little project..

The body looks alright.. From the look I had, there is not much, basically bugger all rust bubbles showing.. and it has only had a few minor modifications made to it.. They can all be fixed easily..

I am very similar to you, they are my favorite because they are the so called 'ugly duckling' of the range.. and they were the last 'true' holden ute..
