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

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?

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.

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

Number looks good.

Yes, the engine number gave that up. What HK GTS sequence number is it though, like 600-H5?

Cool. It will be late enough to have a 3.36 Salisbury standard. The earl yV8 auto HK GTS were banjos, but around the start of August 3.36 Sals became standard build. You could still order 2.78 or 3.08 banjo though.

I'd have to get the VIN and chassis number to get a really close estimate.
As I said you won't see many HK GTS or GTS327 outside of the 4 x stock order colours, even the later two added Stock Order colours (Ermine White and Inca Gold) are rarely seen. I know of 2 x black GTS327, one Burgundy GTS and one Woodsman Green GTS327. Yours is the only black GTS I know of. There may be some Fleet order Monaro in odd colours, but my money is Warrigal Black being the most common colour outside of the 6 x standard colours on GTS/GTS327. Its the same with HQ Sandman, black is probably the most common colour outside of the colour chart colours. Remember black was always available as it was always in the system for various jobs on certain cars being built.

Thanks Wagon Dan, appreciated, car has had a hard life, and sure can tell some stories - was going to LS etc, not too rusty but front work required panel wise but think this changes everything now, but definitely be painting it back to factory colour, running gear etc not numbers matching in regards to engine gone, currently 327
Will probably stick with this. If needed will reach out and next time I see a gathering of your club, will pop in.

Thanks Deezal

Hk1837 tried to pm you but may not have worked,
No to Salisbury, has a 9 inch, was going down a different path, will run 327 for now - extremely lucky chances of finding oe engine are super slim-to nil, but open to building 307 down the track, have original p/glide. Am open to Salisbury as plans look as though they are certainly changing.
