I hope to post a pic of the Van in that exact same location later on this year..still a bit of water left under the bridge yet. Cheers!

A HQ Kingswood with full GTS options in Persian Sand Metallic? Has to have been either a very late Sandman ute or a very late GTS sedan (XV4 or XW8 Kingswood). I've yet to see a HQ in Persian Sand, it'd be a very late August or September 1974 HQ to be in a HJ colour as they were changing over a few colours a week to HJ colours in that period.

I bought the '74 Kingy new from the local Holden dealer in '74, not sure what month. Traded in my Capri GT V6. It was fully GTS optioned (minus front guards) 4 speed. I had originally ordered a Chrome Yellow GTS but there was a 6 mth wait for it to be delivered. So I decided on the Kingswood and it was a fantastic car! Loved the colour so much that when I ordered my Sandman it was again in the Persian Sand!

Dealer must have fitted most of the stuff like the grille and badge and headlight surrounds. You could option the U21 dash and steering wheel, but it wouldn't have been the 140MPH one. I don't think you could option a console in a Kingswood either.

I did the badge, grille, headlight surrounds and steering wheel, It come with the full instruments (not fish scale), GTS Rally Wheels with ER70's, but I changed them to Aunger Jelly beans, Bucket seats and console. Great car!!

Do you have any ID off the car, even the chassis or engine numbers off rego papers? What dealer? I might be able to find it. It was a 308 4spd. Did it have air, steer or LSD?

Hey HK1837, Only info I have is I purchased the car from Don Lee Motors in Broken Hill, 308, 4 speed, No air, No Power Steer, No LSD, Rego GXO-229. I traded the HQ to David Vodic Motor in Broken Hill for a new Celicia. Colin Harvey the bought the car from them and that is the last I know of it. I only had the car for 12 months, Cheers
