Where timeless Australian muscle meets uncompromising big block performance. Introducing this stunning 1972 HQ Holden GTS, finished in striking Cyan Blue with crisp white GTS stripes. Built with no shortcuts and engineered to handle serious horsepower, this iconic Holden is the perfect blend of classic styling and modern muscle.
From every angle, this HQ commands attention. The vibrant paintwork is complemented by a brand new black GTS interior, complete with houndstooth inserts that pay tribute to its heritage while delivering a fresh, factory inspired finish. It’s a car that looks every bit as impressive standing still as it does charging down the road.
Beneath the bonnet lies the heart of this beast, a freshly built 620 cube Big Block, built using a World Merlin block and topped with Pro Topline cylinder heads. Featuring a hydraulic roller camshaft and fed by a Holley HP Dominator 1150 carburetor, this powerhouse produces an astonishing 830 horsepower on pump fuel. Every throttle input unleashes effortless, tyre shredding performance backed by the unmistakable soundtrack only a big block can deliver. Custom 2 ¼ inch extractors flow into a handcrafted twin 3.5 inch exhaust system before stepping down to 3 inches after the diff, creating an aggressive note to match the car’s incredible performance.
Built to handle every bit of that power, the driveline is equally impressive. A fully rollerised Turbo 400 full manual transmission paired with a 3800rpm Dominator converter delivers hard, consistent shifts, while a Ford 9 inch differential fitted with large bearings, 3.5:1 gears, a TrueTrac centre and 35 spline billet axles ensures every horsepower reaches the pavement with confidence.
Purpose built for both strength and reliability, the chassis features a professionally mini tubbed rear with reinforced and notched chassis rails, adjustable trailing arms, a boot mounted fuel cell, and a MagnaFuel pump and regulator to keep the big block fed under any condition. Wilwood front disc brakes provide serious stopping power, while the HQ rear drums maintain the car’s classic character.
Finishing the package are black Weld Full Throttle wheels, measuring 17×4.5 inches up front, while the rear sits on aggressive 15×10 single beadlock Welds fitted with massive 295/55R15 rubber. The stance is tough, purposeful and unmistakably built for business.
This big block monster perfectly combines iconic Australian styling with modern reliability and brutal performance. Producing 830 horsepower on pump fuel, this is the kind of build most enthusiasts only dream of owning.
Don’t miss out on the chance to make it yours!
