1967 HR Holden Ute Show car (SOLD)

Price:

$55,000

Vin:

HR60145SS

BODY MODIFICATIONS:

The wheelbase has been stretched 100mm to properly centre the front wheels in the guards, the front wheel arches were raised 35mm to offer better steering travel and the sills were extended by around 35mm - a mod' that makes the car look lower and just a little chopped.

Still on the body, the side glass and window frames have been deleted and both front and rear screens are flush fitting, with the front glass coming down further than stock. The rain gutters were shaved, as were the doors that are now suicided. Up front, the bonnet was extended to the windscreen with the cowl removed and re-fabricated underneath with custom billet hinges.

There are dozens more body modifications that could be listed but the HR isn't just a combination of its fancy panels, with the original chassis binned and replaced with a 3/4-chassis and a tubular front end.

· New fabricated radiator support panel.

ENGINE

Based around a 3.3L 202ci six, the engine has been rebuilt with a sturdy bottom end to cope with the boost supplied by the Fisher 4/71 blower that hangs off the side.

The engine and gearbox were moved back 100mm and down 65mm to accommodate the 4inch blower belt, resulting in a sump that sits flush with the floor pan and a custom Garlits injector hat that peeps out in an unorthodoxly off-centre position.

INTERIOR

Truly masters in the art of metal fabrication, the entire interior is made out of steel. Inside the cabin you'll find a swoopy design that completely disguises the ute's 48 years.

The dash is filled with Auto Meter Pro Comp gauges and the floating console is home for the B&M Pro Ratchet shifter including ancillary switches and the Dakota Digital airbag controller. Steering the car is a Showwheels Matrix steering wheel.
