Holden’s HQ series is emblematic of the brand’s golden years, when it was selling cars in their hundreds of thousands.
In a feature on the HQ we revealed: “July 15 1971 was big for General-Motors Holden and the Australian auto industry with the introduction of its radically different Holden HQ, a ground-up new design featuring an all-new chassis, body and suspension layout.
“Gone was the boxy shape of previous generations, replaced by a far more stylish soft-cornered body with a prominent hip line that Aussie buyers fell in love with.”
This four-door originally left the production line with a 5.0lt V8 and M21 four-speed transmission and has since been fitted with a 350 Chev V8 and three-speed Turbo 350 auto.
It’s with Prestige Motor Gallery in Sydney, priced at $84,990.
