As an outside observer, I really hope that this is legit. Since Holden became collateral damage in GM's misguided attempts to rule the world, special Holdens should be retained.
But man, just show us some damn photos ! Otherwise it is just talk. Watch what I do here:
My first car was an HQ Premier, built either March or May 1974 (can't remember which). It must have been an HJ Premier prototype because it had:
1. HJ front bucket seats.
2. special cloth and vinyl trim.
3. a centre air vent in the dash pad.
4. clear halogen high beam globes.
5. HJ tail lights.
6. Anti-pollution gear from the HJ series.
7. first registered owner was GM-H.
8. special GTS rims which were chrome and black instead of grey and black.
Except none of this means jack.
1. HJ front bucket seats - installed by my brother in law who owned it before me.
2. special cloth and vinyl trim - as above.
3. a centre air vent in the dash pad - last of the model run and I think it got a Statesman dash pad.
4. clear halogen high beam globes - dunno - someone installed them along the way.
5. HJ tail lights - BS - it did not have these but without photos who would know.
6. Anti-pollution gear from the HJ series - also BS - I think anti-pollution gear had to go on at the start of 1974 anyway, but it had been ripped off mine.
7. first registered owner was GM-H - true - I know this because my father in law worked at GM Dandenong, and he bought it off the original owner who bought it at the end of the GM lease.
8. special GTS rims which were chrome and black instead of grey and black - brother in law chromed them, I painted the black bits.
I could have also added that the front guards did not match exactly, and the front bumper had been hand beaten, because I crashed it and got it repaired.
PS - if anyone knows the whereabouts of this car I would love to buy it back...
