I got a HJ holden ute, 11.74 that is wearing Belmont badges with 6 cylinder running gear. Picked it up for spare parts a few (maybe 6?) years ago.

It was factory L31, M41 manderin red with parchment trim.

You asking about qutes? Mine was from a chook farm near Richmond NSW.

Is the Ute a three seater compliance plated. thought it strange how a HJ Ute was wearing Belmont badges, but then I thought well it's got a 6 cylinder may be they swapped the guards off a HJ or HX Belmont sedan or wagon when they took the engine, I used to take everything, seats, dash, steering wheel, engine, radiator, gear box and diff then replace it all with 6 cyl running gear and bench seat and kingswood dash, Premiers were good earners, and those One Tonner owners paid good coin. Manderin Red to me is a nicer Red than Salamanca Red probably cause HQ only ever had one Red (Salamanca) and just became too much of a good thing, LOL. Did sell a Jamaica Lime HJ Panel Van, L31, M21, with full roof lining strips (Comfort package) three seater, in need of resto, nice guy, van went to Brisbane about 3 or 4 years ago.
