I'm doing all this from memory -

EK Special sedan, Opal green with white roof
Perth build, chassis number EK4525P, engine number B218629
My father bought it in 1968, second-hand from a friend in Perth who drove it over to Sydney.
First NSW registration number ENJ-865 (August 1967)
Second NSW registration number HPG-232 (December 1975, after being laid up for a year when we went on sabbatical to the USA)
I became its owner in 1981, and disobeyed paternal instructions not to modify it.
HR disc brake conversion and hotted-up X2 motor.
Spat the driveshaft on the M4 at Penrith, broke the diff, the rear axle housing, the gearbox case, and bent the gearbox mainshaft.
Sold the X2 motor to a friend, put the grey back in, reconditioned and warmed up the grey in 1984.
I sold the car, unwillingly, in late 1988, because work was sending me to France for a year.

Sounds like you were doing 100 when it let loose. Must have been pretty damn frightening.

I would love to know what month/year this ute was made? Cheers, Fraze

I'm no expert, but I thought Banff blue was a 1960 colour. Engine number is close to the end of the FB run (B1001-B175813).

Harv,

Correct. Well over 90 at least. I was coming back from a church youth group camp up in the mountains and decided to let rip once I got onto the freeway. On the right rear floor I had a bag with Bible and pen. The Bible's cover now has a pen-shaped imprint on it. Plus I had a friend's newly purchased, very expensive ghetto-blaster sitting on the right hand rear floor. It basically got turned into a maraca. I shudder to think what would have happened if I'd had a passenger sitting behind me.

Of course, I was thinking, "this is just the normal Holden driveshaft thing", which then became very abnormal a couple of seconds later, followed by an enormously loud thump and then softer, metallic scraping sounds.

I am now paranoid about drivetrain imbalance.

Your ute and my ute are twins !!

Hi all. Last year I posted my Plate IDs on this page and a similar one on facebook. Does anyone know Steve Jackson who runs the facebook page. no activity since last September. There are awesome resource tables posted there.. I think I remember him sending me a message saying he had been sick. It would be a shame to lose those tables.
Cheers. Tim (Grafton)

Steve's mia but I believe they have been keeping the list up to date. Can't remember who took it over from him. A few on here have been updating it. So fear not it's not lost.

i got a ute
FB ute chassis No FB7089S
BODY FB2106-1227-S
TRIM 371-833
PAINT 256-9695
i am told lucerne blue nitro, it sucks i'm turning into a restorer as it's a very good bodied ute and i'm super reluctant to cut the floor for gearbox mods (i don't even want to cut it for a floor shift on the grey box ) and even considering taking the red out to put a grey back in but i'm pretty sure i won't be happy with that and no grey motors have turned up for sale so pretty safe
