Summary

[edit]
Description

Barbados Green. The HQ Holden was built from July 1971-Oct 1974. The HQ was the most significant redesign yet. a completely new body and chassis, coil suspension. Available in Sedan, 2 door Coupe (Monaro), Wagon, Utility, Panel Van and the new Statesman. The base model was the Belmont, mid spec was the Kingswood, and top was the Premier. Performance cars were SS, Monaro GTS and GTS350

The new Monaro coupe design had a much larger rear window and a squarer rear quarter window. 

The base model got the 118hp 173 cu in 6 cyl (V8 an option). The new LS (Luxury Sports) got the Premier 4 headlight front and luxury Premier interior, standard 135hp 202 (V8 option) The sporty GTS got full instrumentation, sports steering wheel, bucket seats, sports wheels, side guard vents and GTS grille. Engines were either the 185hp 253 or 240hp 308 V8. The rare GTS 350, (only 404 built) got the 275hp Chev 350.

When the 4 door Monaro was introduced in 1973, all Monaros got the bonnet and boot paint outs so not be mistaken for the humble Kingswood sedan
