Eye catching EH Ute with a great story!
First ordered by The Electricity Trust of South Australia as a fleet vehicle, factory honey beige as that was the standard ETSA colour. Supplied with the vehicle is the original owner’s manual and workshop manual. The original vinyl door trims also come with the car plus the original GMH knockout ignition key no:9446 as issued with the car from new. As standard, the car only had a lock on the passenger side as specified by ETSA. An extra muffler comes with the car so you can alternate between an aggressive or more original sound. The original lap sash seatbelts made by Britax Rainsford Industry’s are supplied with the vehicle. Under the hood it is fitted with a red 202 that was built around 30 years ago and has been freshened up several times over the years. Fitted with Big port Yella Terra head, moderate cam, high volume oil pump, match ported and polished with extractors, twin SU Carbies, Gates gear drive belt fitted and an early model quiet Magna thermo fan. Paired to a Saginaw M22 with a Hurst shifter. The braking system has been recently completely overhauled with new parts.
This is a mild custom tribute to GM of America. It underwent a full rebuild and around 15 years ago. The inspiration for the design was based on an interpretation of what GM may have offered as a premium package had they released this car in the US. The paint colour is called Reef Green (a GMH Colour). The entire design is a tribute to the chrome draped Chevrolets. Fitted with 13’ whitewalls with HR wheel trims. Many details were studied to ensure the colours and contrasts matched to create a mock-up of a premium top off the range looking production vehicle. The car has been to many show and shines and featured at the Victorian Hot Rod show. A few trophies were awarded over the years that add to the cars story. The triple gauges on the dashboard were fastidious designed, dismantled and colour matched to the tri-colour concept. There are a NASCO accessories fitted including day night mirror, steering lock, venetian blinds, mud flaps and mesh headlight protectors.
Fully retrimmed interior by Sunshine Motor Trimmers while a lumbar support is built into the driver’s seat. All the original glass has the GMH Hammer symbol.
After being retired from the ETSA fleet, the car went to Freeman Motors in Adelaide where it was purchased 1972. A previous owner still has 8mm film of following the car to Freeman’s. There are also numerous photos of the vehicle over the years which can be supplied to the purchaser upon request.
An automatic steering column also comes as an extra with the car.
