1969 HOLDEN HT Premier

Purchased 2 November 2002

I have every receipt of everything done on the car since 5 November 2002.

183,404 HTs were produced from 1969-1970 and this is one of the most original interiors and exteriors.

I have owned the car for over 21 years and everything that has been done on Ned since purchase has been professionally carried out by my same (highly regarded) Sydney mechanic and the same individual who owns the workshop. I have kept the car original apart from a few things under the bonnet that I have modernised that just make it better.

The car is one of the few left in Australia with the 100% original interior in what I would describe as immaculate condition.

The body is in what I would describe as excellent condition. Very minor dings here and there and the normal surface rust for a car built in 1969. Please be aware this it is the original paint job. The car is always garaged undercover as you would expect.

I will only list items done in the last 12 months and I have spent over $35k (I have keep all receipts) as we rebuilt the original engine then decided to upgrade almost everything around the engine as many other items needed to be done

New cooling system including larger aluminium radiator better for really warm Australian conditions and thermofan which fixed overheating problems that HT Holdens are known for and I should have done this years ago.

Complete original reconditioned 186 Engine and all associated works (in January / February 2022).

LED lights for interior lights plus added hidden HAZARD light switch and hidden temperature oil pressure gauge. Plus we added the break light which was not wired up for some reason.

Brand new seals and weather strips to all doors and windows including quarter windows.

New muffler and baffle and exhaust

Reconditioned distributor

New starter motor

New alternator

New air conditioning compressor

Refurbish carby (this was done by a specialist)

New front tyres

New reconditioned steering box (it drives so tight now and this was only done in November 2022)

New link arm, idler arms and inner and outer tie end rods

Other things done over the years

Air-conditioning. Compressor was replaced 2021 and it blows ice cold

Original Air Chief Holden Radio that was serviced by an old radio guru Andrew Kay and it works well. I have all the receipts and correspondence.

Rhino Alarm system (the best you can buy) with two remote controls.

Original holden sun visor (not in photos) is back on and I took it off as it shakes a bit when you go over about 115km on the highway, but its all back on now and looks great.

Under bonnet Australian Sound Shield - manufactured in Australia for fire safety and acoustics cutting down engine and road noise
