1972 Holden HQ Kingswood review from Australia and New Zealand
"My pride and Joy, true Australian classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front wheel bearings needed replacing.
All four Tyres replaced.
Small leak in front grille.
Transmission fluid leaked out whilst on Car transporter.
Carby needed rebuilding.
General comments?
No major problems in 17,000 miles, mainly due to regular preventative maintenance.
Large problems prevented by nipping small ones in the bud.
Bench seat gets uncomfortable on long rides.
Great vision from Cabin.
Timeless style and flair, any HQ will always turn heads.
