1975 Holden HJ Coupe review from Australia and New Zealand
"Stylish, tough, dependable, powerful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor things like bearings, water-pump, fuel gauge.
General comments?
Extremely dependable car when they are properly maintained. Very easy to fix - I have learnt how to deal with most things just by reading the service manual...
Plenty of power. The economy is better from a 5.0L V8 with a Rochester carburettor then there is with a 6 cylinder motor for sure. Less than 10 litres of petrol per 100 km in the country.
