1974 Holden HQ Single Cab Utility - Yellow - 38,524km - 4.2L (253ci) V8 Petrol, Automatic



Overview



The Holden HQ remains one of Australia's most recognisable classic vehicle platforms, with the HQ Utility becoming an enduring part of Australian motoring culture. Produced during an era when Holden utilities were equally at home on worksites, farms and Australian roads, this 1974 example combines the unmistakable styling of the HQ with V8 power and an automatic transmission.



Finished in striking yellow with a contrasting black bonnet stripe, this HQ presents with plenty of classic Australian character. The vendor advises the vehicle is powered by a 4.2-litre (253 cubic inch) V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 253 V8 provides the traditional V8 character and soundtrack synonymous with classic Holden motoring.



The single-cab configuration retains the practical utility layout for which these vehicles became renowned, with a functional rear tray featuring a timber floor. The interior is finished in tan/beige trim and retains classic-style instrumentation and controls. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, AUX/USB connectivity, towbar and CD player.



Showing 38,524 kilometres on the odometer, this HQ presents as an appealing proposition for Holden enthusiasts seeking a classic Australian utility equipped with V8 power and an automatic transmission. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle to satisfy themselves as to its overall cosmetic, mechanical and structural condition prior to bidding.



Condition



The vehicle presents in good overall condition for its age, with cosmetic wear and patina consistent with a classic vehicle. The yellow exterior retains good visual appeal with minor stone chips visible on the bonnet leading edge. The interior shows age-related wear to the trim and fittings, while the engine bay displays light surface oxidation to some metal components consistent with age. Buyers should undertake their own inspection to determine the overall cosmetic and mechanical condition prior to purchase.
