Hi,
We to own a 1973 Holden HQ 25th Anniversary model. We are also battling for information regarding the car.
For instance, do you know how many were made ?
Are you restoring yours ?
We are in the process of restoring ours to its original condition. They seem to be fairly rare cars.
We are so excited that someone else has this rare little beauty like us. What do you know about this model ? Do you have any pics ?
Can you email us any information ?
Would you know anything regarding the vehicle's value ?
We are in NSW, but purchased the vehicle from QLD (no rego plates) just left to die. Our car is complete, chrome in mint condition and we bought some pedders suspension and shockies off of ebay still boxed at a bargain price.
Please email us at XXXXXXXXX so we can compare info.
Take Care,
Bek & Kyall

Hi Bekka,
Thanks for the great response, it's giving me hope that there are more than I think left floating around.
We are in the process of restoring ours too, got her roadworthy and registered a few weeks ago, but still got things that need doing to restore her to original factory condition.
I hope there are more HQ fans out there with info that we can all share.

Greetings.
I own two Silver Anniversary Models.
The first was made in December 1973 at the Sydney plant and is pretty much complete although in a million bits (thanks to the previous owner), and the second car produced 26/11/73 in Melbourne. This car is 100% complete and drivable although unregistered due to rust in the roof turret (a common problem under the vinyl).
I plan to restore both cars and thereby have a matching pair.
I have sourced parts from other wrecked cars and know of atleast three others here in Tasmania. 1 was/is even used for HQ racing!
I have not been able to acertain how many were produced but keep coming up with figures below 1500. A very short production run.
The cars are quite rare. Some would say even rarer than other more popular HQ models but as a result don't get as much attention.
I hope this information helps.
If you like i could eMail you some photos.
Regards
Silver_hq
