The HQ Holden marked a turning point in Australian motoring. It was bigger, wider, safer, and more luxurious than anything Holden had built before — and it spawned some of the most collectible models ever made, including the Monaro GTS, SS, Statesman and Sandman.

Because the HQ range is so broad, restoring one properly means understanding body styles, trim levels, drivetrains, and year-to-year changes. This checklist breaks everything down clearly so you don’t miss the expensive or hard-to-find bits.
