1974 Holden Kingswood

KEY FACTS This HJ-generation Holden Kingswood ute is a comprehensively modified street/strip build. It is powered by a professionally built 8.7-litre (528ci) naturally aspirated Big Block Chevrolet V8, sending power to the rear wheels via a heavily built three-speed ‘full manual reverse pattern’ with ‘trans brake and 4,000rpm stall converter and a Turbo400 race transmission. First registered in Australia, where it has remained since new. The odometer currently indicates 324 km, though this is not warranted, as the total mileage from new is unknown and this figure reportedly represents limited testing, tuning, and shakedown use since a major rebuild. This is a custom-built Australian Holden ute, featuring a street/strip conversion with a reported spend of over $150,000 on recent rebuild works. Build year: 1974 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Finished in red paintwork over a refurbished black leatherette-trimmed interior, featuring Statesman stainless window and door trims, and a Monaro-style dashboard and steering wheel. It rides on a set of staggered 17-inch front and 15-inch rear Weld Racing V Series twin five-spoke double beadlock alloy wheels, framing red Wilwood brake callipers and fitted with H&M Racemaster tyres. Equipment now includes Wilwood brakes, electric power steering, upgraded fuel and ignition systems, a custom exhaust system, mini-tubs, a reverse cowl bonnet, an Auto Meter Sport-Comp Monster rev-counter, Auto Meter Pro-Comp oil pressure and water temperature gauges, a B&M shifter, a Kenwood CD stereo, and Gazzard Bros adjustable shock absorbers with single leaf springs, an anti-roll bar, and cal tracks. Factory options include power windows, central locking, and factory Kingswood bumper bars, headlights, and taillights. Accompanied by two sets of keys, a trickle charger, racing dump pipe tips for the mufflers, a valve lash toolkit, and an extensive file of invoices, receipts, and build documentation, covering the major recent rebuild works.
