ive never heard of a hj gts ute.. didnt know they existed.. well to put in perspective i dont know what their worth and if their rarer than a coupe but i paid less than whats priced there for an original hj gts coupe 5 litre in very good condition
what sounds dodgy tho.. 4000km and engine hasnt been run in yet? donno if i read it wrong but lol thats a fair bit haha and its got a th400 or powerglide? mentions both.. hmmm

They didn't make a gts ute, only coupes and sedans.

if the hj is registered legit & engineered with a 350 chev, that might be worth something as getting hard to find.
Maybe he means the GTS Guard flutes. his Ingrish is bery paad

I'll give you the hot tip, it doesn't make 250rwkw. Not with that manifold. And a "mild" 350 wont make that sort of rwkw. Put it this way, PROGMH's old 350 was like 10.5:1 comp, solid cam, DART heads, 830 Annular Holley, all the gear... went 238rwkw and 11.44 @ 114mph.

As mentioned previously there's no such thing as a HJ GTS ute. Sandman was the highest option in panelvan and utility. I'd be asking for dyno sheets for that 'over 250rwkw' run. You'd be turning it pretty hard to get that and I doubt a 650 carb would keep enough fuel up to it.

anything with GTS style guards would be referred to as a GTS these days despite not being genuine.

maybe because it runs a glide and th400 it puts out an extra 150rwkw? lol
regardless any n/a v8 making 250 + rwkw through an auto will be worth more than the value of the whole car
put a bit more and get something clean like this.. beautiful car n full hj gts interior

sure it can!!!
probably dyno'd in 2 gear with 4.11's in the diff ...
"without rpm correction factors and a barometric fudged shootout mode!!"
