Holden HK, HT, HG Kingswood/Premier/Brougham
Once Holden built a car to cope with V8 power, any advantage held by the Falcon or Chrysler Valiant was gone.
Fifty years later, HK-HG Holdens remain practical, competent cars and even without the optional V8 their values are increasing. Premiers consistently exceed $30,000 and outstanding V8s have hit $50,000.
| Buyer & value guide: Holden HG-HK V8
Modification of rare versions will compromise value but reversible mods should not have a major influence. Panel vans are worth 20 per cent more than a typical sedan but any with a factory V8 are very scarce and will realise substantial money.
