1975 Holden HQ Belmont review from Australia and New Zealand
"A cheap good street machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced front lower suspension bushes.
Front shocks wore out.
Replaced ball joints.
General comments?
Hot 327 Chev, a lot of power, feels more so powered behind a T10 4 Speed top loader.
Handles like a dream, I've had heavy duty suspension all round.
Sounds like a dream, twin 2 and a half inch pipes coming out behind the back tires with chrome tips and flows.
It's a wagon so it has to have a loud stereo. So the 2 subs fit nicely behind the back seat.
