1978 Holden HZ Kingswood review from Australia and New Zealand
"Strong as a rock Aussie v8. Riceburner killer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really has gone wrong with the car.
These Kingswoods are built as strong as a rock.
Only have had a few problems with the car running on gas.
General comments?
The 4.2 V8 is a bit slugish, but it still does OK burnouts and it's a V8 so it has endless torque and power.
I blow away crappy Japanese 4 cylinders all day long in it and I laugh at em and wonder why they even bother ahahaha.
