1973 Holden HQ Belmont Single Cab Utility - White - 44,792km - Holden 304 V8, Turbo 700 Automatic



Overview



The Holden HQ Belmont Utility remains one of Australia's most iconic commercial vehicles, renowned for its rugged simplicity, timeless styling and enormous popularity amongst enthusiasts and restorers. This 1973 example has been tastefully upgraded with modern drivability enhancements while retaining the unmistakable character of the classic HQ platform. Showing 44,792 kilometres on the odometer, buyers should make their own enquiries regarding the accuracy of the odometer reading given the vehicle's age.



Finished in white, the ute presents with a clean, classic appearance and benefits from a host of mechanical and comfort upgrades. The vendor advises it is powered by an engineered Holden 304 cubic inch fuel-injected V8 engine coupled to a Turbo 700 four-speed automatic transmission. Additional factory and aftermarket upgrades include factory air conditioning, power steering, limited-slip differential (LSD), a new 2.5-inch exhaust system, new suspension front and rear, new interior, new air compressor, GTS wheels and a new RHZ cover. These improvements significantly enhance both the drivability and comfort of this classic Australian utility.



The white paintwork presents honestly with cosmetic wear consistent with the vehicle's age. Chrome trim and brightwork complement the classic HQ styling, while the upgraded mechanical package makes this an appealing option for enthusiasts seeking a classic Holden that is equally suited to weekend cruising or club events. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle to satisfy themselves as to its cosmetic, mechanical and engineering specifications prior to bidding.



Condition



The vehicle presents in good overall condition with cosmetic wear consistent with its age. The vendor advises the vehicle benefits from a number of recent upgrades including a new interior, suspension, exhaust and air-conditioning components.
