1977 Holden HZ Kingswood GTS Tribute
1977 Holden HZ Kingswood 4-door sedan, V8 petrol, 3-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, finished in Orange with GTS-style bonnet and boot stripes. Odometer indicating 335,803 kilometres. Presented as a GTS tribute build on an HZ Kingswood base. Chassis No: AHZ00354A. Engine No: 11WT350094.
Description / Overview:
The HZ Kingswood is one of the great Australian family sedans, and the final iteration of the Kingswood nameplate before Holden moved to the Commodore in 1978. The GTS was the top-line performance variant, and while this car is a tribute rather than a factory GTS, it has been put together with care and presents extremely well in the metal.
What you are looking at is a complete GTS dress-up on a base Kingswood platform. The exterior respray is recent and excellent, with clean glossy orange paint, white GTS bonnet and boot stripes, GTS badging, fender vents, and a lowered stance on aftermarket alloy wheels. The interior has been fully re-trimmed in white and orange with GTS embroidery. A Holden V8 engine has been fitted in place of the original six-cylinder. The result is a very entertaining and good-looking car that drives and presents like a GTS without the matching-numbers provenance of the genuine article.
Buyers should be clear that this is a tribute build on a compliance-plate-confirmed HZ Sedan. The dash cluster is base Kingswood specification (no factory tacho, 200 km/h speedometer) rather than the full GTS gauge package, and the interior retrim, while high quality, is not factory GTS pattern. For someone who wants a GTS-styled daily driver or show car at a reasonable price, this fits the brief well. For someone wanting a genuine investment-grade GTS, this is not the car.
