Seller's Description

1964 EH HOLDEN SPECIAL 179 MANUAL.
Original condition with 53474 miles on the clock. The car was originally owned by a Goulburn nsw resident who had it till the day he passed. The second owner was his local mechanic, who I purchased her from. The powerplant is a virgin bore 179 from a HD Holden. The engine was rebuilt and taken out to 186, with all the usual new pistons, rings, bearings and crank grinding as required. The engine is barely run-in with approx. 3000 miles on it since the rebuild. The original 179 engine stamped with only a ‘HP’ is included as well. The HP engine ran very well and was super quiet under idle – barely able to hear it running. The only issue I had with the HP engine (her original build engine) was when I drained the radiator to flush and refill with clean coolant was that unknown to me the engine had chemi-weld in the cooling system. This led me to discover the HP block has a 10cm hairline fissure behind the starter which slowly seeped water after running. The engine still runs fine but does require the services of a talented welder. Rust in this nearly 60-year-old car isn’t structural but it is present around the doors, boot lid and rear quarters have crows’ feet cracking in the paint leading to some surface rust. The entire floor pan is rust free thanks to years of oil leaks before I came across her. She has her original 3-speed crash box which preforms as good today as it did in 1964. She has new tyres all round only replaced last year. Her interior is close to immaculate with no tears in both the front and rear seats. The minute you open the door you are hit by the smell of that old Holden upholstery and you are transported back to 1964. I am selling without registration as it runs out this month and I have now desire to renew at this stage. The car really is neat and tidy but will have to be seen to appreciate her fine lines and good looks. The Colour is ‘Barwon Blue’.
$40,000 for this beautiful old girl.
