1975 Holden HJ Premier review from Australia and New Zealand
"Classic for a bargain price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Occasionally it's hard to start on petrol, due to the Gas tuning. Warming on fuel takes about 5 times longer than on Gas.
Door trims are bad... wearing thin in places and cracked on certain bends in the vinyl.
General comments?
Motor re-built 15,000 kms ago.
Gearbox replaced with M21 4-speed.
Old classic, worth every cent.
