1972 Holden HQ ute 173 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Best thing you can buy on four wheels
Faults:
Bad battery. speedo never worked, couldn't find matching gear for speedo cable. Had to adjust rockers.
General Comments:
Wicked ute, I've got a brand new car now and I'd still choose the old girl over anything. Reliable as anything, even with bad wheel bearings and a bad knock. Miss it dearly, wish I didn't give it up.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have a 1973 Holden HQ. I have found it to be a very reliable motor car. I have owned my car for 5 years and in this time I have not spent a great deal of money apart from a re-spray and a new front bench seat. It is a real good reliable bus. 6 seater enables me to commute with my family all in the same car.
