haha, at first I thought EH was a Falcon but couldn't find any, so i looked up GM EH. It doesn't look like any USA car, nor was the engine used in USA as far as I can tell ... but it does look GM-ish

Yep that was it.

I'm impressed you know what a holden is,
even more impressed to know what an EH is.
They were made In Australia but I guess they
were designed in the USA.

Mine was a bottom of the range one and only
had a door lock in the left hand front door.

Bit of a pain considered the car was Right
hand drive.

Luck the front seat was a bench and slide
across - able

In 1982 I bought a 1964 EH station wagon.
179ci 3 speed on the tree.
four wheel drum brakes,
more rust than paint,
used more oil than petrol.

Got me to work for 2 years

All for $200

I've bought an EH special and
it's in the back of the shed under
a tarp waiting for time and money
to live again.

1200 sedan. Started with extractors and exhaust. Ended up rebuilding the A12, got a little 25/65 cam grind, and a downdraught weber. 13x6 Cheviot Raiders and 185/60x13 tyres, twin front swaybars - a very 90s way of getting a budget handling upgrade. No-one made lowered springs for them back then. I loved that car, but it got written off.
Crappy photo from about 1990!

Mine was a 1200 ute that dad bought new in 1980 he gave it to me in 1990, 5yrs later we put a reco a15 in it which cast 600 bucks back then.I drove it for 10yrs then sold it to a couple of mates one of which had a 2 door Cortina with a 302 Windsor in it.They sold it to a leading mechanic in Wollongong that turned it into a 13b,tubbed drag car.

KE20 corolla, was smokey, rusty and guttless. I'm sure it's been crushed now. I still have a slight soft spot for that model but it's not really on my dream garage list.

In 1986 I bought a 1969 Fiat 125. Factory: twin cam 1608cc, rev counter, 4 wheel disc brakes and the ability to hit 170kph. Brilliant handling for a 4 door sedan.

Been spoiled by Datsun/Nissan reliability and performance since then so no to buying the 125 back My next car was a Fiat 124 Sport which was an absolute rocketship. Would buy her back in a heart beat.

Toyota Celica 1972 with a 2T-B engine, All Factory option, in 1984 completely stock form around 5000.00, I know sound crazy but that was on DR. and duty taxes were about 80 to 90%, even higher on luxury vehicle.
Sexiest Japanese Car mass produce.
If I can, I would in a heart beat.
