1979 Holden Kingswood HZ SL
The HZ series marked the final evolution of Holden’s long-running Kingswood line, introducing refinements such as Radial Tuned Suspension (RTS) for improved handling and comfort. The SL badge offered a well-equipped family sedan that blended practicality with durability, making it one of Australia’s most recognisable and best-loved cars of the late 1970s.
This example is a 1979 Holden Kingswood HZ SL sedan, finished in yellow and retaining its original factory-installed 3.3L inline six-cylinder engine. It comes with a strong service history, having been serviced annually with paperwork to confirm, and has remained with its custodian for 45 years. The automatic transmission has been serviced every two years and replaced three times in its life, ensuring ongoing reliability. The most recent service, completed in July 2025, included a new brake master cylinder and rear wheel cylinder brakes. Tyres are near new.
Features & Inclusions
Factory features include air conditioning, power steering and tow bar. Additional upgrades and accessories include a weather shield, Sony CD player, larger radiator, automatic transmission cooler, RAA steering wheel lock, immobiliser and locking petrol cap. Included extras comprise new spare belts, water pump, radiator cap, distribu
tor points, service and repair manual, 4 litres of engine oil, tow ropes, Tectaloy 50 Plus coolant, Flash Lube valve saver fluid, and spare globes.
Condition
The Kingswood presents as a straight and tidy survivor, though minor imperfections are noted. These include small rust spots on the hood corner, driver’s door and rear wheel arch, a split in the driver’s weather shield, a small dent in the rear bumper and paint blemishes on the rear passenger quarter panel, lower front bar and roof lining. Overall, it remains a well-preserved example of Holden’s enduring family sedan.
