Holden HQ-WB Utility/Van/One-Tonner
Drive past any Australian building site and you might still see One-Tonner Holdens working as they have done for over 40 years. Difference is, a lot of those One-Tonners have been turned into show ponies with big, chromed engines and flashy paint and this is having an influence on the money available for potential ‘donor’ vehicles. Therefore, even a rough six-cylinder manual with battered alloy tray can now cost $10K or more.

The same applies to styleside Holden utes which are commonly found with V8 engines, body mods and $20K+ prices. Like the One Tonners, some continue working and cost half that money.
Any factory V8 panel van that survives runs the risk of becoming a Sandman clone and untouched vans are becoming expensive.
