HQ full roof lining???

[ABSINTH74HQ]

Hi Guys, My HQ when it came to me had the remnants of a full roof lining, is this possible, It is also tagged as Absinth yellow, which I was lead to believe wasn't available in the HQ, it is a September '74 car so could this be an explanation for both, or has someone added the rear bows, strips etc. I've never seen the genuine articles, so cant compare the rusted remnants to anything....................Help?................. PLEASE!!!

Thanks, Scott.

Also the VIN tag decodes like an HJ tag, and states model year as E which is 1975 however the last letter is Q for HQ??? so is it possible this Q is so late built that it got some J features????

As we have discussed in another thread. 1st September is Holden's model change date.

Can you please post pictures of your 3 plates and chassis number?

Geez I always knew I was a bit slow, now my bloody car is a month late too! Or does her being a month late mean something else??

Photos??? What don't you believe me!!!!.... I'll try to get a decent scan of them , so far I haven't managed to get a pic that you can read, I have sent all the details to Byron for his register, that's if she's real!
If I can't scan them I'll just type 'em up I guess.

No it's not that, it's odd ball and would like to see the reality. Must be one of the last HQ's Sandman's even built and I find it interesting.

Not that it helps much but here they is!!



I'd been worried about posting the details of her for all to see, and consequently PM'd Byron the details , as last time I mentioned her it led to a series of events that nearly got her stolen, but seeing as now the body is 30K's from the chassis, and the Tags are safely locked away, I figure whats the harm?

So If you cant read them here goes, And yes, before anyone asks, the Chassis number matches and shows no sign of tampering

Tags are as follows:
Compliance plate:

VIN TAG: 8M70REL286071Q
