Summary

Description

Firethorn Red. 

The HZ Holden was built from October 1977-April 1980.

The final facelift on the old HQ body was the HZ, only minor cosmetic updates, it got the egg crate grille and thicker side protection strips. The main addition was the new Radial Tuned Suspension (RTS) it greatly improved the Holdens handling. Models were the base Kingswood, Kingswood SL, Premier, sporty GTS and long wheelbase Statesman Panel vans became quite popular with Street Machiners in Australia in the 70s, surfers also loved them. The local car manufacturers decided to cash in on this fad. They dressed them up with bright colours, stripes and decals. Interiors, engines and wheels were borrowed from their muscle car siblings. The Holden was called the Sandman, the Ford, the Sundowner and the Chrysler was called the Drifter. The Sandman option was available on Utilty and Panel Van, It got the quad headlight front, Monaro dash, bucket seats, stripes and large 'Sandman' on the tailgate.

Engines; Red 6 cyl; 109hp 202 cu in. V8s; 161hp 253 and 216hp 308.
