1975 Holden Kingswood HJ review from Australia and New Zealand
"It's a Holden, need I say more? She's practically unbreakable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought this car the master cylinder and battery needed replacing, but the only other thing it's done is run out of fuel!
Because it wasn't registered or roadworthy when I bought it, I have had to replace the rear shock absorbers, drag link, sway bar, brakes, upper control arm bushes, ignition barrel and wiper motor.
General comments?
I have found it to be an extremely solid, reliable and easy car to work on and drive, which comes in handy being a chick! Another good thing about this model is that there are a lot of available parts floating around for cheap.
This ingenious invention has a very attractive design and at $300 for a running car that's one and a half times my age and is also about to be registered, I'm not complaining!
