The time has come to sell Grace’s EK ute. It spends more time idle now than on the road, so time to pass it on to someone who will use it more.
There is a build thread here which shows what I did on the vehicle: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=22653
I bought it in 2017, and had the bodywork done on it. Exceptionally low rust car to start with, and rust free once done. Car was then painted in the original Silverton grey, new rubbers all round. Minor mechanical works done to keep it on the road – radiator, improved cooling head gasket, steel timing gear, brakes all round, clutch master, new distributor, tyres. I will go through the brakes again before selling the car to make sure they are right. A few accessories – tonneau, towbar, vanity mirror, WEY rocker cover, retractable seatbelts, aftermarket period style radio.
I had plans to make the vehicle breath better on the highway, but got halfway there before life intervened. The lumpy cam is fitted and idles like it should . A little over-cammed for the current single Stromberg and head. Will include a set of rebuilt triple Strombergs, ram tubes and foam filter socks, manifold, linkages, accelerator cable and new accelerator pedal in the sale – you can then choose to either fit the carbs and run a worked motor, or sell the carbs and use the cash to put a standard cam back in it.
I’ll sell the car with NSW rego through to April 2025. It currently has custom plates on it (GH-2002), but I’ll put them into storage and put standard plates on it. I’m asking $35,000 for it, firm - it’s pretty close to what I have in the car, and I'm in no rush to sell. Car is in Western Sydney. PM me for contact details.
Cheers,
Harv

Re: EK Holden ute
I'm sure the ute would be a wonderful car to own. Hope the sale goes well Harv.

Re: EK Holden ute
Good luck with the sale Harv. I hope it isn’t too painful. I hate selling cars.

Re: EK Holden ute
Tough decision Harv, hope it goes smoothly.
A day in the shed beats a day at work!
Re: EK Holden ute
I am way better at buying cars than selling them - bought another one today as a matter of fact GLWS Harv, someone will be getting themselves a quality ute
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: EK Holden ute
Taking the ute off the market for now, as I managed to hurt the motor. Will think about the sale process again once it is repaired.
Mebbe this is an omen that the triples and a worked head need fitting.
