Went on a bit of a holiday and a tin hunt with my car club, we found this out the back of nowhere! It's an absolutely massive collection of old Holdens.
Monaros, HQ GTS350 4 door, multiple HQ SS's, a couple of LX SS, hatches, LC,LJ GTRs masses of HQ, sedans wagons, utes, vans(no Sandmams), Statesmans, etc. Gemini coupes,... even the odd Camira!
My phone went on the blink so I only got a few shots

!!

Smick Orchid V8 Prem

I think this was a gold GTS 4 door, I tried to get the guard decals but missed

One of three HQ SS's parked in a row! next to the GTS

A really tidy and original RUST FREE papaya SS hatch (I know there's no such thing as a rust free one!)

Sorry I didn't get more shots

My phone died!
There would have been nudging 200 cars there, around 80 in the shed the rest out in the paddock!
None of them for sale and no I can't disclose the location, sorry!! I promised. Down the track I would love to work with this guy to restore some of these gems, If I am in a position work wise to do so.

Cheers!

**hainzy** · 23-09-2013, 05:31 PM

Bugger the SS's (HQ and Toranas). Go for the GTS350 sedan, especially if it is a manual. Probably the rarest build of all Holden or Toranas and a premium performance example to boot. Only 54 x manual HQ XW8's made, and not many over 200 in total if you include the auto versions (July-Sept 1974 Elizabeth HQ records don't exist so no-one knows how many autos were built exactly).

Far out!!! All kinds of gold in there!!!

What a shame they are just sitting there. 200 people looking for a cool car could have a beauty. I hope the bloke that owns them does something wise with them while there are still people that appreciate them around to restore or preserve them.
