Hi QQGG.
With the price of Monaros & Toranas now out of reach, Premiers are the next good thing.
Any HK/HT/HG Premier in original rust free condition is good property.
Keep it original & restore it where needed, don't over-spend.

Hi QQGG.
GM-H didn't record sales numbers for all the different possible model/engine/trans combinations.
The 253 Tri-Matic Premier was quite common in its day, don't plan on it being rare. I have one of those & I know of at least 4 others in my cir |
