The old man had a HQ 253, brother had a HX 253, I've had HJ & HZ sedans & still have a HZ wagon in the shed ...grew up with them & absolutely lovem. That's a real nice example (love the colour) & credit to you. 👍
Nice Qee Ha.1:55...Spotto piece of paper stopping the drivers dash vent from doing the spinning top...Classic HQ ailment and a laugh at 100ks...My funniest memories of a HQ sedan was at 110 on the freeway with the windows down when the rear window just said "I'm leaving" and flew out with a couple of back flips and shattered just in front of the car 2 cars back in the other lane.!..That was mid 80's.
Great story great edit.!! a big fan of the bucket / bench seats... Stories like this and others inspired me to go and spend a lot of money and buy myself a V8 Kingswood UTE, and what pushed me a even harder was filming the closing down of Holden MOTORS Hobart TASMANIA. Very Sad.!
Just watched your vid and loved it, I to grew up with holdens and it is sad some people just wouldn't understand 😥 and another sub for ya channel from us here at OTL look forward to seeing you bring us some more from Tas
Im truly Loving hearing the backstories on the cars. What a beautiful HQ. 383 stroker is my type of old school cool. Im currently building a 350 chev that i pulled out of a 73 Monte Carlo. When done it should wake my Vette up pretty good. I wanna hear Hanful's story, your HJ, and a 70s Falcon coupe if you can too. Keep up the great work during these restricted times.
@@OvertakingLane I would agree. I spent time in Europe in the late 80's-early 90's and was impressed at how the GM platforms had an equal there. I would guess Holden was much the same.
My dads old HQ Holden Kingswood wagon which he gas axed because it was full of rust so it no longer exists ran the 202 cubic inch Holden six & trimatic automatic transmission. He got the best of 14 litres per 100 kilometres (20 miles per UK gallon) out of it at its best or 15.5 litres per 100 kilometres (18 miles per UK gallon) or 13.6 litres per 100 kilometres (21 miles per UK gallon) on a holiday trip so the fuel economy was about the same as what fuel consumption the 383 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 engine gets. I drive a tuned Holden VY SS Commodore which runs a 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine which puts out about 300 kilowatts of power,I get between 13.1-13.5 litres per 100 kilometres (21-22 miles per UK gallon) on a mixed city/highway cycle,on the highway I might get between 11-12 litres per 100 kilometres,it does use more fuel since I upgraded the exhaust system & got it retuned,it put out 276 flywheel kilowatts when I first bought it in 2008 before I upgraded the custom exhaust headers to the Genie ones & replaced the twin 2.25 inch diameter mufflers with twin 2.5 inch items !

Yeah good call will see what we can do with those levels, all our improvement comes from feedback so thanks for the comment, keep watching and commenting, good to have you onboard 👍👍
@@OvertakingLane Sally won't allow you to do such a thing Dave. She'll see you with a Ford friend and the next thing you know she'll be asking if you'll be at Mardi Gras aswell! 😂🤣
Mean ride mate!! what intake manifold are you using combo to fit under hood ? I own a hq aswell Chevy 383 stroke about to put it in but I know clearance is issues cheers sweet vid
Dam dude I won’t a Q I have a VQ also a eh or two that needs done and also my brothers hz pv windowless and my mate just two days ago has my vk interceptor up and going time to sacrifice one or two to get my HQ
My dad drove this back in 1975 when he was in Indonesia. Back than the Kingwood and Premier were the most popular imported cars in Djarkata
What a gorgeous machine. I may be from the old US of A, but I have to say that Aussie muscle cars give us a run for our money.

Hahaha. It's not an accident that it's there😏
I was waiting to see if someone would spot it
I always think about spinning them when in a Q hahaha
That's exactly how I like them schmick stock look clean and mean I love it well done brother 🏆👌🇦🇺
It's just a nice tidy example isn't it
The colour looks like champagne gold

Now I have my HX ute I'll be going to a few car shows around Tassie 👍 Thanks for the comment.!
@@offtrackfilms1 the least we can do thanks for taking the time to watch our vids 👍
Great video guys, awesome story, reminds me of growing up with my crazy car friends and how cheap cars used to be
Yeah sure does, hope your working on that van 😉
I had a 202 Tri-matic HQ back in the 70's. It max'd out at 86mph.
Pushed it to it's limits 👍👍
Surely it coulda done 88MPH? The real overtaking speed.

Yeah I like those story ideas 😉 2 I can do just need to work on finding a coupe
Man that thing is pretty 🥵 the music for it goes very well too. The history of the car tho
Thanks CTC !!
Such nice bloke Great build
100%
Excellent road cars, today!
Just so many great cars around
My dad had a HQ in the same colour combination.
It's a mint combo 👌
Good work fellas
Need a wagon story 😉
Neat car and great segment! That car reminds me of a combo of a Chevy Malibu, Nova, and a bit of Laguna thrown in for good measure.
I reckon the aussie designers probably got inspiration from all of those

@@YellowJacketGarage very much so
I've got a '71 Premiere that's very close to that colour, 13124 Duchess Gold Met.
love it
Thanks

Yes my 202 PV back in the day used to go through the fuel as well, a lot of that was also caused by my dodgy mechanical work lol
Really nice little ripper right there, Come to FL and check out my Chevy II im waiting lol
Would love too!!
2 door HQ looks ten times better.
Those 10-bolt Salisbury diffs were a bit suspect. Destroyed a few of them in my HG. This car reminds me of the HQ SS series.
Yeah they can be, his has held up ok so far
Looks great sadly no more Holdens.
Very sad 😪
Another beautiful car with a great story to go with it. How much hp did he get out of the 383? 👍
Hasn't been on the dyno so not sure but had a bit of poke when we went for a drive

@@MafiaboysWorld our skills are pretty average you know
@@OvertakingLane Average is still about 4 times better than the help I normally get from my local minions. 😂👍
How many hp does the car has
Not sure what HP it was he didn't share the number but it had plenty down low by the feel of it
Dam dude I won’t a Q I have a VQ also a eh or two that needs done and also my brothers hz pv windowless and my mate just two days ago has my vk interceptor up and going time to sacrifice one or two to get my HQ

Doubt it but you never know money talks
Ugly ugly rims,the rest is immaculate,
