That is Burr Walnut, HZ SL/E. Whole lot is there, even the armrests.
I parted a late 74 Hj statesman caprice, now that would have been a great car new,most of the interior lights etc were still being used on the early commodores, still like the sle dash.
You could throw in a export Chevrolet statesman 350 as next desirable.
Just missed out on a really tidy HQ 350 which was in Brissy it went for about 27k had a bench street very nice looking car, I read somewhere the other day that they built about 2700 and claim they may only be less than 30 original examples left??
Thinking the whole lot will go into storage for a while. Tonner will be blue so not going to match well. Another project will come up soon enough...Originally Posted by HK1837
Byron, I'm pretty sure it was referred to in the day as Burl
At one time I was seriously considering swapping out the fascia out of my HJ for one. Glad now I didn't but I still think they look really good all cleaned up.
Cheers.

Yeah it is burl. People get it wrong all the time. It comes from the root burl underground at the base of the walnut tree. That is where the most interesting and intricate patterns are formed.
