1979 Holden Kingswood Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Overall performance of the car is quite good , the little 253 V8 is no race motor but has good get up and go , isnt too thirsty with good highway economy due to a 2.78 diff ratio . It makes the right sounds but cos its a V8 . Braking and handling are above average and I have spent a fair bit of time overhauling these components . The body and paint is great condition due to repaint . The interior is my favourite feature with full retrim , half cage , converted manual to floor shift , GTS steering wheel and many other subtle upgrades . Car is great fun to drive

Mine was a ute, and it was always reliable. Never had any major problems with it, and what I did have was easily fixable on the driveway. Accelerated and handled like you would expect a '79 ute to accelerate and handle, though the braking was surprisingly good. Iconic truck, loved it!!

Only way it could be better is if it only had two doors
