    The ugly duckling thing is a new thing. In the 90's no one wanted to be seen dead in a HQ-HZ ute. Thats why there were so many HQ-HZ utes around with wb fronts and tail lights. HZ v8 utes were worth $4000 for the best one around and WB V8s were worth between $8000 and $10000. A good friend of mine bought a new WB Kingswood in 1984. He sold it in 1990 for more than he paid for it new. People just loved them cause they were the last Holden ute ever at the time.

    would have to agree, 20 years ago when i bought my hz v8 it was $2500 and the equivelent in a wb was about $8000-$12000 for a good one, everyone wanted the WB and an HQ you wouldnt be seen dead in! sorry HQ blokes but times have changed, but i still reckon a good WB kingswood V8 ute will bring good money as there not making anymore and they are the last real holden ute.
