1973 Holden HQ Kingswood review from Australia and New Zealand
"They just look so Tough, V8 and a set of Armourlites, Awesome!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water Pump bearing has colapsed on 3 waterpumps.
Replaced radiater with larger unit.
Remote transmission cooler.
General comments?
This car is more a street-machine, so I spend time keeping it running sweet. It`s super reliable and super quik. GTS interior, B&M shifter, locked diff & huge rubber.
This car is in top condition at 31 years old, I love her and will never ever part with it.
