That just tells you it was a V8 HG Kingswood ute. Good start.
As it has the Salisbury hump it means 308.
So now just look to see where the speedo cable goes through the firewall (towards centre or drivers side). Also check if it was a floor shift or column. And look at the passengers side floor, where the floor, tunnel and firewall converge, about where the passengers right foot goes. If there is an odd looking hump there with all ripply metal, that is a Saginaw hump. Also check if it has bucket seat mounts.

Should look like this if its a saginaw manual.   Reality is only an illusion which occurs due to a lack of alcohol.

Well then, Ill leave it to those who know to suggest potential value. But, if it was mine Id restore it back to dead stock, wouldnt worry too much about the colours its a commercial vehicle and liable to be a bit on the bland side. It will be interesting to see what the colour and trim is, you might be lucky. Reality is only an illusion which occurs due to a lack of alcohol. Edited by user Friday, 19 March 2010 8:00:30 PM(UTC)

Well then you have a 308 Saginaw HG Kingswood ute with buckets. Very rare car. If you ever wanted to do up a HK-HG ute this or its HT equivalent would almost be the one. Only HK 307 4spd might eclipse it. As for value, Id clean it up and stick it on Ebay if you were going to pull it apart. Unless you want to fix it up and keep it!
