Info about this vehicle:

1973 Holden HQ Single Cab Utility - Creme - 73,524 Miles - 5.0L V8 AutomaticOverviewThe HQ Holden represents a pivotal moment in Australian automotive history. Launched in 1971, the HQ was the first locally designed and engineered Holden, marking the end of the LC Torana era and establishing a new generation of Australian muscle cars. This 1973 example is a genuine piece of Australian motoring heritage, built during the HQ's peak production years when Holden dominated the local market with its distinctive, angular design language and robust engineering. The single cab utility variant was the workhorse of the era, favoured by tradies and farmers for its practicality, durability, and surprising performance credentials.This particular HQ utility is powered by the legendary 5.0 litre V-angle eight cylinder engine, a powerplant that defined an era of Australian performance. Paired with an automatic transmission and rear wheel drive, this is a classic combination that delivers genuine character and driving engagement. The creme exterior finish is period correct and presents the vehicle as a solid example of 1970s Australian industrial design. With 73,524 miles on the odometer, this HQ has genuine patina and authentic mileage that reflects its working life.HQ utilities have become increasingly sought after by classic car enthusiasts and collectors who recognise their significance in Australian automotive culture. Values have strengthened considerably as the market has reassessed these vehicles from disposable workhorses to genuine collectables. This is an opportunity to acquire a piece of Australian motoring history at a time when HQ values continue to appreciate.ConditionThe vehicle presents as a solid, honest example consistent with its age and working history. The creme paint shows the patina expected of a 50-year-old utility that has lived a genuine life. Panel condition reflects authentic use rather than accident damage. The two-seat cabin is spartan and functional, as original HQ utilities were designed to be. Interior trim shows age-appropriate wear. The 5.0L V8 engine bay presents as original and unmodified, a significant point of authenticity for collectors seeking matching-numbers examples.Features* 5.0 litre V-angle eight cylinder petrol engine* Automatic transmission* Rear wheel drive* Single cab, two-seat configuration* Right hand drive* Creme exterior finish* Period-correct utility body* Genuine 73,524 mile odometer reading* Unmodified original engine baySpecificationsYear: 1973Make/Model: Holden HQBody: Single Cab UtilityEngine: 5.0L V-angle V8 PetrolTransmission: AutomaticDrive: Rear wheel driveOdometer: 73,524 MilesColour: CremeSeats: 2Doors: 2
