1978 Holden HZ Belmont Panel Van - Orange - 200,482km - 253ci V8, 4-Speed Manual
Overview
This 1978 Holden HZ Belmont Panel Van represents a classic example of late-1970s Australian commercial motoring, combining Holden’s durable panel van platform with the desirable factory 253 cubic inch V8 and 4-speed manual transmission combination. Originally built as a Belmont-spec commercial van, this example captures the unmistakable street machine style and V8 character that made Holden panel vans a cultural icon throughout Australia.
Powered by the 253ci (4.2L) Holden V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, the van delivers the classic V8 driving experience enthusiasts continue to seek today. The bright orange paintwork presents with strong visual impact, complemented by period-style graphics and aftermarket alloy wheels that enhance the vehicle’s classic street machine appearance.
Condition
From the supplied images, the van presents well overall for its age. The orange paintwork retains good gloss across the body, while the chrome bumpers and front grille present cleanly. Panel gaps appear generally even and the vehicle displays the classic proportions and styling that made Holden panel vans so popular during the 1970s and 1980s.
The interior features black trim with orange accent piping complementing the exterior theme. The dashboard appears complete with gauges intact, while the rear cargo area has been carpeted and presents in tidy condition. An aftermarket stereo has also been fitted for improved usability.
While the vehicle carries Sandman-style graphics and presentation cues, identification numbers supplied indicate this vehicle was originally manufactured as a Belmont-spec HZ panel van, fitted from factory with the desirable V8/manual driveline combination.
