1972 HOLDEN SS HQ for sale
Price: $74,990
For sale is a genuine rare 1972 Holden HQ SS in Lettuce Alone Green running a 4.2 Litre V8 and M20 4 speed manual. For sale from our Sydney Showroom.
The Holden HQ SS was released by GM-H in August, 1972, as a tester for expanding the Monaro name plate onto a four-door platform. Based on the Belmont sedan, the SS took that basic, entry-level spec and added a 253 V8 engine, dual exhaust, M20 four-speed manual transmission with floor shifter, a 3.36:1 diff ratio, sports-tuned suspension, power front disc brakes, styled steel wheels, radial tyres, bucket front seats in vinyl with Houndstooth cloth inserts (later Raydo cloth), a GTS steering wheel, GTS instrumentation and full carpeting.
Only three exterior colours were offered - Lettuce Alone, Infra Red and Ultra Violet - with black stripes and SS decals on the GTS vented front guards and boot lid, regardless of paint choice. Inside you got bucket seats and the full Monaro dash, plus a distinctive wheel, but beyond that it was surprisingly sparse.
As a marketing exercise, the SS was a huge success, with a sell out of the first production run of 1,600 vehicles (allegedly one for every Holden dealer and multiple units for larger dealers) leading to a second run of around 1,200 being built at the end of 1972.
For sale is a Lettuce Alone HQ SS featuring an older repaint and engine bay and interior freshen up. The seats have been retrimmed, the dashtop reskinned and new carpets and hood lining fitted. The door cards are original as is the steering wheel and gauges.
Mechanically the car has been fully serviced and features a Holley 4BBL 600cfm carby, Edelbrock manifold, Holden cast iron heads, big body fuel pump and the dual 21/2" exhaust. The HQ SS is running the factory M20 gearbox and standard diff.
The Lettuce Alone paint is acrylic and is about 15 years old and is in good condition with no rust or damage.
Riding on genuine GTS rims with 195/75x14 on the front and 245/60x14 on the rear.
This HQ drives well and looks the goods and represents an excellent entry level Holden collector car.
Located in our Sydney Showroom for your inspection. (Ref: 6705)
