1975 Holden HJ Kingswood review from Australia and New Zealand
"Pickle me grandmother! Not the Kingswood!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only real thing that has gone wrong with my car is that one of the head gaskets blew. However, when the heads came off, it was found that the car still had the original 26 year old metal gaskets.
Also minor things like a broken bonnet (hood) release and odometer.
General comments?
I love this car, it handles like a barge and is a dedicated under-steerer, but it sounds awesome and performs really well.
Being on LPG, it is also really cheap to run, especially for a V8.
