The Holden HQ series is a range of automobiles that was produced by Holden in Australia from 1971 to 1974. The HQ was released on 15 July 1971, replacing the Holden HG series. It was the first ground up redesign of the Holden line since its original release in 1948, and included an all-new body, chassis, and suspension. The HQ was later developed into a series of successor models, finally ending production when the WB series was discontinued in 1984. A Holden SS sedan was released in August 1972. Although marketed as a separate model it was a Belmont V8 sedan fitted with the XV2 option package. Production of the HQ range totalled 485,650 vehicles prior to its replacement by the Holden HJ series in October 1974. Holden HQ series cars were produced at GMH plants in Adelaide (Elizabeth, South Australia), Melbourne (Dandenong, Victoria), Sydney (Pagewood, New South Wales) and in Brisbane (Acacia Ridge, Queensland).

Now available for sale is this 1972 Holden HQ SS. Originally made by Holden to test the market prior to the release of the GTS Monaro sedans and one of only 2800 built. This SS is one of only approximately 382 known examples on the HQ SS Register making this car quite rare. It is also believed it is one of only 26 built series II in the Infra-Red colour in the Melbourne plant. During the current ownership, the car has received a closed door respray which presents nicely. Correct stripes and decals were replaced also. The original SS rims are intact and have also been restored as per factory and have new tyres recently fitted. In addition to this new bumper bars have also been fitted too. The trim in the car is all per factory and is in terrific condition. Seats and door trims have been replaced recently and a general tidy up to return the car to original. Mechanically the car is all standard and is currently running a non-original 253 engine, four speed and standard diff. The car has recently been serviced and the front brakes replaced at the same time. Overall, this car presents nicely and is ready for weekend cruising with nothing to do except jump in and enjoy and is now available for inspection by appointment in our Kogarah facility.
