1978 holden kingswood 3 sp automatic panel van






Seller's Description
Owned for 22 years, always garaged during this time. Well looked after HZ panel van. It was my daily driver before kids, and then became a weekend cruise car. Eventually I took it off the road to upgrade the engine. I've done a large amount of work over this time, but have had it paused mid way for a number of years due to life commitments. So it's be time for someone else that has time to complete and enjoy this rare classic.
As is. No RWC, No rego.
Specs:
- Column shift Trimatic
- Red 253 engine
- Bench seat (3 seater)
Body:
- Very little rust (some bubbles across the back sill and a few tiny surface spots in places). This is a rare specimen of a well stored vehicle.
- There is 1 small dent on the tailgate, repairable or new aftermarket tailgates are available.
- Interior is standard dash, custom door cards, rear is bare ready to be customised.
Work done:
- Professionally installed Pacemaker Extractors and 2" twin exhaust system
- Aftermarket alarm/immobiliser
- Genuine Bench seat (compliance plate already labelled for 3 occupants)
- Sports steering wheel
- Jelly bean wheels (rears are deep Cheviots)
- Genuine Bridgestone Eagers
- Front steering and brakes redone (ball joints, toe rod ends, calipers, etc.)
- Professionally rebuilt transmission
- Water pump
- Alternator
- Starter motor
- Sump cover and seal
Ready to install (and included with sale):
- Electronic distributor
- New fuel pump
- Used 4 barrel KC Castings inlet manifold
- Used Quadrajet Carby complete with rebuild kit
- Chrome rocker covers
- Oil catch can
- Gasket kits
- Front yellow King springs
- Various spare parts (such as new front bake pads, etc.)
All parts I have for this van will be included in the sale. This vehicle was running on LPG (dual fuel) some years ago.
Serious buyers only. No low ballers, but negotiable. This car was running when work was started. But can't be driven without reinstalling the above parts. You will need to organise a tow truck on purchase.
