This 1969 Holden HT Brougham is a top of the line Aussie luxury car that has been rebuilt with a performance focus. The car started life in the Holden Paigewood plant in Sydney and was sold new on the 2nd of September 1969 in Camperdown, NSW. The current owner has had it for at least six years continuing to improve on it during his ownership.
The body of the car was stripped back to bare metal and completely resprayed in 2014. The body was very good with no significant rust repairs to be made. The owner wanted a colour that would stand out so it was decided to repaint the car in Fantail Orange. The custom external look is completed with a set of 17” Streeter Show wheels wrapped in Michelin tyres.
The interior of the car has all been completely retrimmed in black vinyl with cloth inserts in the seats. The floor carpets were all replaced. Up front there is a GTS Monaro style steering wheel and a B&M automatic quick shifter mounted on the floor. There is Autometer temp gauge neatly mounted under the dash on the right hand side of the wheel. Keeping cabin temps in check is an under dash air conditioning system. For tunes while cruising there is a Pioneer stereo system.
