Thought's on this HQ Van

[Valencia]

There might be one or two, but they were only racing amongst themselves in a series designed to whittle the numbers down a bit....

Really last time i checked they raced against xy gtho monaros chargers and all sorts of makes and models and remember no other straight holden 6 has won not only bathurst but touring cars championships rallys the list goes on pretty impressive for a little holden torana 6 but hey dont beleive me i can show you plenty of records those cars broke fact

They actually raced against XW, XY and XA GT's and were competitive (Phase II, III and XA GT). They didn't really race against competitive Monaros though as they replaced the GTS350 as GMH's race car.

So Ziggy...whats your thoughts on the van so far?

We're a passionate mob here!!!

They still race against hq monaro xy gt and other muscle cars today in the muscle cars masters series not as good as back in the day but it is only a six cylinder if they had put 308s in them they would have bee untouchable

I think they raced against a 308 4 door HQ Kingswood (GTS sedan) in 1973.
I agree they'd have been awesome as a 308, only diff failures would have stopped them, along with the 308's early engine failure issues in GroupC LH's. They managed to sort out how to keep 308's, banjos and aussie 4spds alive for a Bathurst event by 1975 so maybe by the end of 1973 they'd have had all that sorted so no-one would have been able to catch a V8 GTR! The XA Phase IV would have been pretty cool too though.

I was actually talking about HQ racing (hence the quip about whittling the numbers down - hoping to get a rise out of Alien)... HQ series racing was a fixture of Bathurst weekend many times, which may not have been televised to western states I guess, however that was what I was referring to. Sorry if you weren't aware of HQ racing....

I'm well aware of most of the exploits of the Torana in 6 cylinder guise thanks...

Good to see the passion that people still have with the old girls. I like a wide and varied style of cars but my personal preference is for the HQ body and dash (gts dash). I will keep on searching for my dream Van.
