Certainly looks to be from what I can see in the pics, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't genuine. Excellent find and a great colour combination, well done.

i agree with absinth that those plates havent been removed..rivets are correct for hq...there is only one way to remove those rivets and replace them to look original and it took me a long time and a lot of patience to learn how to do it....and i aint telling...

Couldnt help but think what gas-on would have thought of the tractor pics though!! haha..

Fair enough on the rivets:o. They are not very nice rivets, Holden must have been on budget when they came up with that idea!

Sadly the thread is "look what Rodney found"...not "look what Rodney has bought"....the wife is not ready to selll.....we are working on it...and will buy if are able to......

Gas on would have been okay I think.....;)

Orchid looks a great colour on HQ's
Used to have a HQ SS in this colour near my work, and it looked a treat.

Good find

keep working on them.
Funny sometimes how it's the wife that wants to hold on to the car.
I found a ripper HZ Sandman a couple of years ago (white with factory air) agreed on a price with the guy, shook hands on the deal and then his wife talked him out of it the next day. (what a great lady, she must have been into sandmans as well)

good Luck:lol:
