a lot of HQs disappeared with the HQ racing and now they are popular again same as Toranas
some one in the family had one when the people buying now were young
a SS or Monaro bring good prices

If the HQ was a Monaro or SS you would have to think about that one Mark. But a Premier??? Phffttt. Give me the 800 HP Skyline thanks.

A GTS 4 door with a 350 4 speed might sway me. I guess some of the present popularity is because you can stick a small block in them without engineering And they are a nice looking car lowered with some decent tyres on them.
This'd be good for rounding up the camels -

The problem is you can't find one.
Plenty of WB's but they are like the UC of the Big Holden world.

It's an expensive taxi. :-)
The green one does look good though.

Mind you I love the look of that green one and if I had the room I would build up one similar myself.

LOL they have no racing peddagre. Not counting HQ racing. I like HQ's but they only popular because they sold half a million and every one hads owned one. They are a cool big car but they are no Torana and those examples are way over priced in my opinion, cheers Aaron

Racing pedigree or not, for that shape/era of car they are by far the best looking and most sought after.
If I was spending that sort of coin I'd want a 2 door though.

Finally learned the cause of my accident in 1975.....it was the understeer. Didn't learn because I bought another.
