Now available for sale is this 1972 Holden HQ SS. Originally made by Holden to test the market prior to the release of the GTS Monaro sedans and one of only 2800 built. This SS is one of only approximately 382 known examples on the HQ SS Register making this car quite rare.

During the current ownership, the car has received a closed door respray which presents nicely. Correct stripes and decals were replaced also. The original SS rims are intact and have also been restored as per factory and have new tyres recently fitted. In addition to this new bumper bars have also been fitted too. The trim in the car is all per factory and is in terrific condition. Seats and door trims have been replaced recently and a general tidy up to return the car to original. Mechanically the car is all standard and is currently running a non-original 253 engine, four speed and standard diff. The car has recently been serviced and the front brakes replaced at the same time. Overall, this car presents nicely and is ready for weekend cruising with nothing to do except jump in and enjoy and is now available for inspection by appointment in our Kogarah facility.

The EH was released in August 1963 replacing the Holden EJ series and was the first Holden to incorporate the new "Red" engine, with a 7 main bearing crankshaft instead of the 4 main bearing crankshaft used in the "Grey" engine. A larger capacity 149 ci engine was first only sold attached to a three-speed manual gear box or the "Hydramatic" 4 stage automatic transmission with a (column shift).The Controlled Coupling Hydramatic used in the EH was actually a four stage although it effectively worked as a three speed unit except at full throttle. The 179 ci engine was initially only sold with the "Hydramatic". The first EH with a 179 ci engine and a manual gear box was called the "EH-S4", fitted with an up-graded manual gear box, with stronger gears than the 149ci gear box and an up-graded clutch. The threespeed manual (column shift) gear boxes had no synchromesh on first gear and only synchromesh on the second and third 'top gear’. A total of 256,959 EH Holdens were produced and sold from 1963 to 1965, when the EH was replaced by the Holden HD series.
Here we offer this absolutely stunning example of a 1964 EH Holden Premier. It is believed to have three careful owners, the first one right up until 1998. Since then the car had an external respray in its original Silver Mink colour along with the Fowlers Ivory roof complete with all factory body mouldings and badges. This car is as it left the factory in every other way accept for the addition of a radio although the original radio blank is included. Matching perfectly with the silver and white exterior is the beautiful all original red interior. The original 179 cubic inch motor runs beautifully and the original Hydramatic automatic gearbox shifts just like it should. Of a car of this age it runs like a dream. Also rare to find in a car of this vintage, is the original logbook, logbook folder, owners manual and Nasco accessories brochure. The car was originally sold by Rhodes Motor Co. in Melbourne. Original jack, tool kit and period style spare tyre still remain with the car. Whether you're a collector or someone who wants an immaculate cruiser this is a car that certainly needs considering.
