paint_condition — Based on available photos, paint appears to be in fair condition for a 1973 vehicle. At 88,843 km, expect minor stone chips, surface scratches, and possible fading on horizontal surfaces from sun exposure. A close-up inspection should check for any respray evidence, clear coat peeling, or rust bubbles.

body_panels — Based on available photos, body panels appear generally straight. For a 1973 Holden Hq, check panel gaps for consistency which may indicate previous accident repair. Inspect lower sill panels, wheel arch edges, and door bottoms for corrosion. Run a magnet along panels to check for body filler.
