Project Monaro Episode 4 - Fire It Up!
The worst Kingswood. Bad brakes. Bad handling. Puny engines.
Too bad we can't have such good outward visability in todays cars, would make them safer with the blindspots.
The next model Torana ended up being bigger in size in order to compete against Chrysler Centura and Ford Cortina?
They shouldn't have.
One of the best looking Holdens ever. Handled like a bucket of bolts. My dad had an orange one, bought new in 1971.
Just after the 1972 Bathurst win
I had one.... What a mistake, after that horrible experience I went to Japanese made cars and never looked back.
it was the ( AUSTRALIA 6 ) GM bought them out and so got the inline straight 6 cdlr patent
Was this 85? What does SL stand for?
So Lacklustre
@@rogermouton2273 lol maybe with a 6
Dad told me Kingswoods were at the 1972 Non-Aligned summit in Sri Lanka for the dignatries. I think this was a very good car and he said that these stood out to him when he was a child waving a flag to the cars
The last of the real Statesman's. The WB was a fitting tribute to saying hooroo to what started in 1971 as the HQ.
Even as a ford man. The HQ was one of the best cars we made hands down. SO was the HJ even the Hx and so on
Who here still owns a Holden and knows that Holden will always be Australia’s car
By this stage the whole kit and caboodle was owned and ran by the yanks. Best kept secret in motoring history.
GMH wanted to build a modern revolutionary car to replace the HQ series and the Kingswood. But they built the Commodore instead.
Go better
Go better
Go better
Awesome
my mum had one of these back in the days
WOW that’s old
I used this at the start of a yr12 high school graduation video, it turned out to be the funniest of the day. Thanks mate for uploading this, it's a great hit of nostalgia from before I was born.
They dont make em like they used to. In holdens case, they just don't make 'em.
leader of luxury? Putting Lipstick on something from the 70s wasn't luxury.. The Fairlaine/ LTD weren't amazing either but a dam site better than this monstrosity.
You’re a comedian mate
And the ZJ Fairlane was oh so 80s with leaf sprung rear suspension?
@@sutherlandA1 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
No they weren't. They looked like Falcon's by that stage. The ZH Fairlane at least looked different to an XC Falcon.
we inherited a camira, bit of a lemin really. heavy steering, no power, issues starting it that nobodh could fix
Love how this is an “official” Holden UA-cam page and nobody in their team even bothered to check what year it was from (let alone what years they built Camira)...
Holden get ur act together start building cars again or supply old parts dayumm I need parts for my VH commodore guys
Bro have you forgotten about Rare Spares?
Yes & Holden built the VN Commodore for that reason - Australians wanted a larger car. I found that driving a VL Commodore sedan was o.k. when I've been single but my VY SS Commodore has a lot more room in it than they do for a family sedan than the earlier cars did. I'm not sure what the General did with the ZB Commodore but I think it's the same thing again as that !
The ZB would be the same a renaming the Camira. At least the VB kept the same drivetrain.
There world class standards was in my old man's 1974 504 Peugeot, as standard equipment not paid options 12 years earlier
@Don dunstan No argument there
@@jimmartin9704 I was not a fan of those instruments.the ones we saw from vb/vc/vh models and even the uc torana and hz kingswood/gts range a few years earlier were better.I recall with my dad and brother sitting in 1990 in a 82 or 83 VH series Commodore Taxi and it was better.
Peugots are ugly as sin
Absolute woeful engines with no effort to adapt properly to ADR27A. My aunt had a new HX Premier that stalled out on the Harbour Bridge. She never went back to Holden. It's as though Holden wanted to die then.
The water proofing was not up to driving in waterfalls.
How many Camiras did you ever see towing something? Lol.
I had the model after this......a VK wagon. The Trimatic in it was a piece of shit. The engine had a pinging problem once it reached operating temperature as the engine management computer was no longer operating correctly. There was a panel of switches on the dash to the left of the main gauges that operated minor things such as rear window wiper and heated rear window........and not one of them still worked! An HG Kingswood that I owned prior to the VK was a better car, but I guess it was an earlier design, and had less to go wrong.
Poor quality visuals .. this was the 70's ...not 1870's sounds like John Laws doing the voice over ?..anyway I had a HQ for 15 years ..did the job. Sold it for $400 20 years ago.
That’s cool i want to repaint my holden premier hq. May i know what of original paint that u used for car ? Regards from bali
My aunt borrowed my dads HX Kingswood in 1979 and was involved in a six car crash that included a truck and Toyota landcruiser of the time.The Kingswood was unrecognizable.How my aunt came out of that car alive I will never know?
Are you sure this was assembly at Holden I don’t remember any Holdens with wooden spoke wheels and fenders like that
Gm and ford etc would send vehicles to Australia in parts and holden would build them and sell them you could find so many makes and models being made by holden
Beginning of the end for Holden? Pushrod six. Crappy drum brakes? sloppy steering, poorer workmanship, fewer features. The Japanese sixes by then were OHC and better features and build - even though they looked awful. But, I suppose these cars could be modified from stock to be decent. They had a pretty decent simple and handsome style. Kind of like a more modest version of a yank tank at the time. Fit new carbs or even f.i. . Extractors. Better springs? The 253 V8 would be OK. They had front discs? I reckon, when 1977 came around, they knew the end was nigh. The Commodore was really just a compact European car and nothing like the Ford XD which was Aussie sedan size.
The XD was just a 1966 XR platform with a boxy body grafted onto it hence the leaf springs and terrible turning circle (not good for a taxi), OK for fleets but not so for more demanding use. At least the Commodore was new and different despite its Opel origins but an 80s Kingswood would've been ideal
@@sutherlandA1 It was what Australia needed.The h Series was well past it even with the rather overdue suspension changes in the HZ and the handling upgrades.While not much bigger than say a Japanese Medium of the day such as a Skyline or things like a Fiat 132 or an Alfetta or one of those Audi 80's or 100's the Commodore could do everything they could without the dreaded arm/leg/fix/name the euro brand stories.
We love you forever & hate Genarel Motors!
One of the worst Holdens. Emission control system was a power destroyer. Sloppy handling. Bad brakes. The HZ was rushed in to introduce radial tuned suspension and a better handling car.
Yes for sure. How they could turn the ground breaking HQ into that disaster is beyond belief. The HX had it's good points, nice interior, light steering plus a very good finish. But it was a disaster at anything over 70 kilometeres per hour. That's when Mr. Hyde became Doctor Jekyl.
"... And an optional electronic fuel-injected engine"... Uhhh, optional? I'll take one with an engine thanks!
Base motor still had a carby on it, which was actually the better motor.
@@ayrproductions No, 3.3 efi was the better unit. They extensively reworked the Black motor.
I would've bought the V8 powered car because while electronic fuel injection & the Wade 933 spec'd camshaft really woke the engine up whatever Holden did to the 202 engine didn't make them very good from brand new, the metallurgy made the black engine block softer for some reason. I had to do a cylinder head gasket change on one of them which was in a fuel injected 1984 model VK Commodore Berlina for a mate of my cousins after a few blockheads (at Karuah) did it for a couple of cases of Jack Daniels. Apparently he bought it off an old bloke who got it regularly.serviced it including having a brand new set of fuel injectors fitted,the car had done 200,000 kilometres in 2004,he asked my why would it be blowing smoke. I pulled the cylinder heads off & the cylinders were all out of round, there was also a chunk of gasket which hadn't been scraped of the cylinder block deck between cylinders 5 & 6 but I just fitted the cylinder head gasket that he gave me after thoroughly cleaning the cylinder head gasket mating surfaces,I also changed the oil after finding.1 litre of mud in the oil pan. I reassembled it & told him that the engine is on its way out,it still went pretty good but I think it blew up on him eventually. I would go for a blue bottom end if that is the case for the black engine having a softer engine block because my late grandfather was an old bloke who got his 173 cubic inch 6 cylinder powered 1983 model Holden VH Commodore serviced regularly, it is now sitting in my dads garage with over 329,000 on the odometer & the engine has next to no carbon buildup underneath the valve rocker cover,it basically just needs a reseal as the rear main oil seal leaks very badly. I would go for at least the red bottom end but it lacks the counterweighted crankshaft & XU1 connecting rods,I would certainly throw in the Wade 933 controlled camshaft that's used in the HQ Holden race engines to lift the power up to at least 130 horsepower from. 88.5 HP (red 202 motor) or 95.2 HP (Blue 202 motor) using the 12 port blue/black cylinder head. I did push for a VL Commodore which ran the Nissan RB30E engine which was an improvement over them,the EFI 202 seemed to have more go than an automatic VL Commodore but that changes when the VL has a 5 Speed manual transmission fitted. The VL Commodore was more practical for better fuel economy & the fact that leaded fuel was phased out in the late 1990's when I started driving,when I built the twin cam Nissan RB30DE engine the 202 engine was no comparison to that engine !
@@RussellBooth1977 & yet efi 3.3 put out 20nm more torque than rb30.
Thanks but i can feel it holden car road more
I had a HX premier with 4.2 V8. Worst car I ever owned. Gutless and the handling was downright dangerous.
HOLDEN is gone completely now.
Having gotten laid several times in the back of a red one of those Camira wagons back in the day, I wholeheartedly 👍 this !!!!!!!!!!!
The HX Kingswood and LX Torana had possibly the brightest, in your face colour choices of any Aussie cars in the history of local manufacturing. Who can forget the greens, turquoises, yellows, oranges, etc? I preferred the HJ.....loved the floor mounted headlight dimmer and more powerful engines.
I love Holden forever
so then the HX wheezed it's way in to infinite history.
can you win if your in the US?
Oh what a night down around back in 63 she was pretty and i was free what a lady what a night , use hear this song in the back of the school bus going to school back in my days .
Had extractors fitted to 202 HZ cast iron exhaust manifold looked from a tractor in 1930 rubbish noticed more power instantly car was then adequately powered
This must be 1982 or 1983.
