1974 Holden HJ Premier Wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Nice cheap cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car it needed a new engine which at the time of purchase was a 253 but I decided to install a 308.
A couple of months after putting in new engine I replaced transmission and rear end.
The car needs a new interior as age has taken its toll.
General comments?
The car is fairly fast and quite good with handling as well.
Presently the car is getting a complete make over.
