1966 HR Holden Premier – today’s tempter

1966 HR Holden Premier

If you were getting around in an HR Premier when they were new, you were clearly someone who had experienced some financial success.

As we noted in a story on the series: “Holden’s HR may have had a similar profile to its predecessor the HD, but in fact it was a fairly comprehensive make-over with adjustments to pretty much every panel, rear lights and the rear glass.

“Built from 1966 to the beginning of 1968, it also featured a wider track and revised front suspension, giving it significantly better road manners.

“The six-cylinder engines also came in for attention, with the release of the 161ci (2.6lt) and 186 (3.0lt) versions of the red motor.

“Three and four-speed manual transmissions were offered, along with a two-speed Powerglide auto.”

This example is running the 3.0lt six with three-speed manual transmission.

Located in Collinsville in Qld, it’s on the market at $28,500.
