Nice HZ Premier

I used to do the same (although nowhere near as many), but as well as sedans, Statesmans and wagons I pulled apart coupes and vans. Most of the parts went onto utes or tonners. I even had a wreckers licence when I lived on 10 acres. Coupe bodies went on to new homes, normally to repair crashed ones. Other bodies went to scrap metal. To me all sedans, vans and wagons were scrap, we were mainly only interested in tonners and utes. I knew a few guys that did volumes like you Innuendo, some of the good cars they pulled apart would make you cry! Same with City Spares in Newcastle, they'd wreck out at least 6 good HK-WB or LC-UC a week. I can remember the volume of good doors that went through that place, it was amazing even then what sedan doors went for. Lots of good stuff went onto taxis too as the bulk of the Newcastle taxi fleet back then were HJ-HZ's, with the odd sh!tbox like an XC thrown in.

Yeah, your the generation just after me. We were '70's Vanners and had no desire for Ute's or 1 Tonner's unless we wanted to move a fridge. The next gen coming through were all about Utes and Tonners (which I never got). Mind you, I didn't mind cashing in on the Ute/Tonner lovers by selling them as many parts as possible.
