1983 Holden WB

This WB-generation Holden Ute is a rugged and very capable modern classic Australian utility vehicle, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from an extensive restoration totalling more than AU$75,000. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. First registered in September 1983, this example has been with the seller for 10 years. The odometer shows 356,436 km from new. Build year: 1983 This WB-era Ute is finished in an ever-popular shade of white, over a black leatherette-trimmed interior. It rides on an aftermarket set of 15-inch CRM Muscle five-spoke machined alloy wheels fitted with mixed tyres. Equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, a top-tinted windscreen, an analogue clock, and heater and ventilation controls. This example has been enhanced with a GTS sports dashboard, aftermarket bucket seats, and a Pioneer stereo. One ignition key is included. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: bodywork rust repairs were carried out before a full respray and an interior retrim as part of the restoration. The most recent roadworthiness test was conducted in 2025, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass. The seller reports that an extensive ‘nut-and-bolt’ restoration from the chassis up has been carried out, which also included the engine and gearbox being reconditioned. This WB-generation Holden Ute is a highly versatile modern classic Australian utility vehicle, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from an extensive restoration. Presented with a timeless colour scheme, boxy styling, and a potent 5.0-litre V8 alongside genuine hauling capabilities, it would make an excellent addition to any collection of modern classics, and a charismatic companion for retro daily driving, weekend cruising, and workhorse duties alike.
