Description
The HK Holden ute is one of the best-looking working classics ever made in this country. Clean cab lines, a purposeful tray, and proportions that hold up beautifully. This Belmont has been treated to a thorough restoration and it shows from every angle. The colour combination is sharp: Ermine White body, factory paint code 568 as confirmed by the body identification tag, paired with a red vinyl roof and a full red interior that makes it one of the most visually distinctive HKs you're likely to find.
The exterior is in excellent restored condition throughout. White paint holds strong gloss across all panels, the HK chrome grille is clean and bright with the Holden lion badge centred correctly, chrome bumpers and trim are well-preserved, and the Belmont script badges on the front guard and rear quarter are intact. The tray carries a black vinyl tonneau cover with chrome press-stud fasteners, and a spare wheel is stored in the tray bed. Bathurst-style aftermarket alloy wheels with Holden lion centre caps and 205/65 R15 modern tyres complete the stance. Inside, the red treatment is thorough: red vinyl bench seat with vertical pleating, red door cards, red carpet, and a red three-spoke steering wheel with Holden lion horn badge. The original column-shift 3-speed automatic is present, original instrumentation is intact, and the odometer reads 48,734 miles. Note: photos confirm the odometer cluster reads in miles, so The engine bay houses the correct 161ci Holden inline-six with red-painted rocker cover, single-barrel carburettor, and a clean, well-detailed bay matching the quality of the rest of the restoration. The build plate also confirms trim code 1172-16C, consistent with the red vinyl interior described.
Restored HK Holden utes in genuine condition are becoming scarce. Well-presented examples have been consistently achieving $25,000 to $45,000 depending on specification and finish quality. This one presents at the higher end of that bracket, with a documented restoration, a standout colour combination, and a low stated mileage. The V8 front end conversion and tubed rear end noted in the listing are worthwhile mechanical upgrades for any buyer intending to drive the car.
