2022 Market Review - Holden EJ-EH

Forty years ago, when the research behind these guides began, people were paying $500 for EH Holdens they could drive to work and up to $3000 for perfect cars. EJs were even cheaper because their ‘grey’ motors couldn’t match the performance of a ‘red’ EH.

A lot of both were scrapped during the 1980s and it’s hardly surprising that survivors are becoming relatively scarce. $20,000 will buy an EJ needing only cosmetics. EH Specials with ‘149’ engines, manual transmission and in decent condition can reach $30,000.

From there, values soar and $50-60,000 is possible for original or sensibly modified 179 manual EHs. Close to $80,000 was also paid at auction for a good but not perfect Premier. EJ Premiers at one point looked likely to disappear, however keen owners have preserved some excellent cars and now ask up to $70,000 when selling them.

EJ $28,235 (21)
EH $41,615 (29)
EJ Premier $66,665 (3)
EH Premier $71,370 (4)
