    My son's HQ Premier

    1974 HQ Premier
    Factory High compression 253 Traumatic
    GTS Dash, steering wheel and wheels.
    Sable Metallic with Black trim.
    Bucket seats, T-bar auto.
    Only missing GTS guards and it would have been a Monaro.

    How the prem was bought, dirty, no brake lights, one headlight, and a broken drivers side mirror. Took an hour to get home driving at night with slipping trans.
