Ballarat wrecking yard visit

[HK1837]

Found some real interesting stuff in this yard, 30 min or so north of Ballarat. Nothing much left any good parts wise but found some really interesting ID and learnt a few things about Dandenong cars.

Found:

2/80 Elizabeth HZ ute (2nd last one I have recorded).
Lots of W trimmed HJ and HX cars, especially the 3 x 64W cars which were very rare to me until now.
HX Belmont wagon with L23 202 (low comp).
2 x early HK's in Grecian white but with 568 paint formula.
A very eary Dandenong HK without the second M in the chassis number.
A 253 4spd 7/74 HQ Pagewood Belmont ute in Willow (but 3 seat capacity).
Another HJ with 14V trim (only the second one I have found).
A HZ Champagne Edition Statesman.
A Dandenong HQ-HZ with a repeat chassis number - odd one as the number on the tag was BHJxxxxxRM but the rail was BHJxxxxxMR).
2 x 904 paint combination utes (HQ and HJ), fleet cars.

Well you learn something everyday, i was not aware that the belmont was still around in the HX, i thought it ended with the HJ.

Belmont ended in HX but finished on commercials in HQ. Delete option A9K (Kingswood) became the base model fleet type passenger vehcile in HZ. It was added to Kingswood SL to become Kingswood.
