    Wow, a real live genuine survivor, and a ute also. Certainly seem's as though it has been used and not abused, a credit to it's former and current owner's. They are still out there.

    Well done Oz for finding that and sharing.....

    Brilliant example with a 39B interiour. Large hole console, 220kph speedo and interestingly the black handbrake like mine has. No armrests on the Kingswood trims and courtesy light switches in the doors.

    Alloy scuff plates on a Kingswood... I thought those were chrome on the Kingy and only Alloy on the Belmont.

    WOW!!! Sure is a thing of beauty!! So awesome to see her unrestored in its current condition!!!

    I see the rubber mats on the floor.....was carpet an option back in the day?

    Would those be the original licence plates too? Being in vic, im not sure if they are new or old numbers

    re: Armrests

    I'm sure classic Oz will be rustling up an imaculate pair of those for the old girl. :-)
