Here are some pictures of my FC, dads HZ Ute and our Chev Ute
This is my FC special sedan, terracotta over adobe beige, good original car from Bendigo that was in the one family until we bought it, currently in the shed getting fixed up and will be on club rego soon.




This is dads HZ kingswood ute that he bought new in 1979, 202 trimatic, was used as a work ute until 2004 when it was put in the shed and not driven or started until the start of 2008 when I got it running and gave the whole car a cut and pollish, and cleaned the interior and engine bay.




As you can see I am still on my red Ps, I have just got my licence and have been hogging it and not letting dad drive it, hopfully I will take over the ownership of it on day.





I know this is not a Holden but it was made by GMH along side FX Holdens so I hope I dont get booted off this forum by posting it.
This is a 1950 Chevrolet coupe ute that my late grandfather bought for 80 dollars in 1971, it was originally a department of works vehicle at Woomera rocket range. It was there until mid 1971 when it was driven to Central Victoria and sold to a concretor that lived across the road from my pop but he couldnt get it to run properly so my bought it and fixed it up a bit, new coat or house paint ect, but it was then just put in the shed and left there until my pop passed away last year taken back to our place.




Looking back at its resting place for over 35 years!



Not sure whats going to happen to it but it will not be getting sold, might just do what needs to be done to get it back on the road and one day fully restore it to its former glory



Thanks for looking
Mark

Sweet. Judging by the condition of the Hz "work" ute , your dad never worked that hard. ; )

Mark,

I have recently picked up a Chev similar to yours (however in way poorer condition), I am really interested if you could give me as many photos as possible of your car to assist with my rebuild. Sorry for the annoyance, but yours is the best original condition vehicle Ive found yet!

Cheers Anthony.
