Hi Guys
New to forum, have HK Monaro with paint code
585-6459
Trim 599-14x

Does this mean black exterior and teal blue interior?

Thanks for your help

599 is Warrigal Black. 14X is Light Teal trim.

Looks like an earlier HK as it has 585 paint re-finish code but for whatever reason they overlap a bit.

Hey thanks for that, would it be a very common combination do you think, apart from on the net can’t say I have seen a black one in the flesh and would they normally have the stripe work or stripes?

Any CTV colour is rare compared to Stock Order colours. Firstly to be a Colour/Trim Variation it had to be an ordered car which is uncommon in itself, most cars were Stock Order (as in built by GMH for sale). Then it had to be a colour variation away from the standard colour charts. Having said that, Warrigal Black is probably the most common, if not clise to it, of the non-standard colours.
Is it a Monaro or a GTS or a GTS327?

Car is a hk gts 307 and P/glide , engine long gone, just had trouble deciphering paint codes as most things found on net in relation to Warragal black point back to engine bays etc in that colour. To have a body tag showing exterior black with 14x interior (light blue) seems an unusual colour combination.

G'day DeezalHk68,


I'm also in Auckland 👍

I have the original GMNZ import ledger for HK Holden's into NZ and there were about 230 HK Monaro/GTS/GTS327 that came here as brand new vehicles.

I cannot see any Warrigal Black cars listed, so assume that your HK is a later private import?

- Daniel

Is it a Pagewood car? What number? If it is Pagewood build I can pretty close estimate its original engine number.

Thanks Daniel and Hk1837
Yes car was imported and reg in NZ in 75, have Eng #on doco 30714235K1211 if written correctly in the day
Car is no longer black another reason was querying colour on tag, but a bit rough and ready suggest had been repainted in its life, had the 14x interior
