Interesting. My first ever car was 186 HK wagon. I think it was 1967. Would that be right? I'll be following this thread closely. Cheers... I might try a dig up a photo or two.

I "believe" and don't quote me because I'm no expert ... The HK was released in Jan 68' and replaced with the HT in May 69'
We did a chassis number check on the ute when Brad first bought it and can't remember all the details but she was actually built up here in the Brisbane factory and was originally white with this seriously weird blue combination interior (dash is a darker blue to the seats/trim etc)
At this point the plan is to paint her her a gunmetal glittery grey (just gotta find the shade he likes - Mazda, Honda and even Jeep have 3 very similar but different colours he likes) with a Predominately red interior (splash of white)
Also considering lining the floor of the ute tub with wooden panels but that plan may have changed with the colour change (was going to go back to white and blue)
Time will tell if she ends up more classic looking or abit trendier
He did up an old falcon sedan quite a few years ago and she ended up purple with white interior - sounds gross but I've seen it (sold it to a mate) and it flipping gorgeous

Good to see an old Holden HK. I owned a 1969 HT Kingswood sedan with a 186 and Powerglide Auto in it. I was told it had a Premier interior from the factory. I don`t know how true that was, but it had bucket seats and the interior was in the bsb colour. There is two versions of the powerglide auto, one for the 6 cylinder and another for the V8 being stronger built. A bit of difference in the first gear ratio apparently too.

Oh, you poor, poor girl..................... I have lived this for many years. The cars breed, the excuses varied. DO NOT let him bring it in the house.......
But, seriously I hope it comes up well. I'm not a Holden person, but those old girls are kinda sweet. Have fun.
