All,
There are well over 100 HQ SSs known at this time and colour breakdown is an even split three ways (give or take one or two). It is more than likely that as more examples are recorded then the trend of even colour breakdown will continue. Warrens

There was heaps of them made, but being a lower spec car and a 4 door with good bits heaps got wrecked. I remember them being wrecked every second weekend in the Newcastle area in the early 80s and buying bits off them. One red one in particular was mint. |

I agree. You see more HJ coupes today than you see HQ SSs. Same thing with HQ-HZ 4 door GTSs. These used to be common compared to HQ SS and today they are "endangered" as well.

You should try and find one with the original 253 still in it. Now thats difficult. They all seem to have 308s in them. Paul it has taken me 2 years to find a Lettuce Alone with a matching motor. HK1837 the HQ GTS/4 is much maligned. I had mine out the o

So you have a Selmont AND a Mingswood? Have you thought about selling both and you would probably have enough for a down payment on a Monaro?
