1978 Holden Kingswood Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1978 Holden Kingswood really enjoy its powerful V8 engine options, impressive performance, and nostalgic charm. Many appreciate its rugged design and suitability as a workhorse. However, some drivers have noted issues like overheating and noise, particularly from the transmission."
With the venerable 253 V8, this big HZ Station Wagon was a great workhorse. It would go anywhere, but was prone to overheating. The Transmission was interesting, and it was so noisy, but it was the best car ever. It could be started with a screwdriver, but the electric Tailgate window did operate flawlessly. A true gem of a car.
March 30, 2008It was my first car and i love it! I still have it and am in the process of fixing it up. Have a VS SS V8 in it with auto trans and am working on rest over time. Aim to have it back on the road July 09 in time for my birthday.
December 19, 2008She goes well. It has a 5Litre EFI V8 and 5 Speed strengthened Gearbox. It has a fully reupholstered interior. It has the most comfortable seats EVER to sit in. The exhaust system screams power. It does need a respray and new rims. That would make it a real head turner. Great powerful acceleration.
