Hi everyone, The family picked up this very early Holden EK factory Black. Sunny Tim pointed out it was from the Mollison Motors collection from Kyneton Vic.

Very original and extremely low milage. The trim will clean up like the new. The paint .... well lets see

I was wondering why the EK had some dents in the roof Then I saw the Mollison's pic

The car has been sitting since 1974.

Miles 34,998.

Chassis: EK 2715 M = 1714 Chassis

Body ID: EK 1088-M

Engine: B179660

Trim: 500-964 ( Unusual for black - Grenadier Red / Athens Grey )


The car is still full of red dust and should polish up quite well. We are going to leave the paint original if we can.

Started polishing a bit here ....

At Mollison's .....








Here is the old thread of part of Mollison Motors collection.

Hi Mick, how are you?

I know I need "the Facts" polish for this one ....

Although, the Fernando Yelllow and the Desert Glow FB's had sea mist exposure, and the rust had spread out under the paint.

This black EK is more like the Narrandera Fernando with that dry rust which is exacerbated by the red lead undercoat.

Take care,

Steve

Thanks Matto, would have preferred the all red trim as in nearly all black EK's I've seen.

Sunny Tim has seen another Black EK with this trim combo.

Hi Aidan, I love them too, although they are hard to find these days.

from what i've seen from the factory yard pics, most cars appear pastille.

Forgive my foggy memory Tim, as the black EK is not with me, are the inside finishes Cathay Grey or a metallic grey?

Thanks,

Steve

Or it could also be because his boss watches this site, I think he pulled a sickie that day

Thank you Jamie. first black EK I have owned

A pic of the chassis number would be good also!

I will add all your tags to the spread sheet today Jamie. Thanks for adding them to the ID plate list.

Did you buy your Black EK 215 from a tow truck driver?

Thanks,

Steve
