A mate at work looked at a HG Belmont ute. He says it is genuine 186 with Sagninaw 4 speed and has bucket seats. Owner only wanted $2k. I this a rare car?

he passed it up because he said it was full of bog, but I didnt think it was a bad price for a saginaw car. That is if it is a factory saginaw.

Greetings, The HG features book says that there is no such car. No such thing as a 6 cylinder 4-speed in HG commercial as the M22 transmission was not released in this model. Is the 186 original or is the Saginaw original? Might be a factory V8 4-speed commercial that has had the engine replaced with a 186.

Git is on the money as far as most of HG is concerned. The 8/70 HG ordering procedure I have says the same thing, ie no 4spd manual available on HG commercials with 6cyl. It also specifically states option M21 was not available on 6cyl. It doesn't mean one wasn't built, just it was not a run of the mill order. Like a 307 manual HT, not orderable but some were built especially early in the series. As above though it is more likely to have originally been a V8 4spd.
