Thread: Look What Arrived at Work Today!!!

My dad had one that colour.
Yes, memories indeed.

A friend of mine and his brother collect and restore FJ's - mostly utes. These two are currently for sale.

Whenever my brother or I point out a lovely old Holden our mother says, "oh yes, I remember when that came out. We used to love having the new models before they were for sale."

Lucky for her, my grandfather ran the Holden dealership in Camperdown, western Victoria.

Lucky buggers.

Follow the Sapper.

A lot of history behind that car no doubt! That's a great example!

Wow that's lovely, my first car was a 55 FJ Ute, bought it from Belmont Wreckers on the Hwy across from the Bus Depot, Gordie Woodford help me get it going properly, only had it for a short time, till it ran out of rego, sold it for the same price I bought it for, $25

Ausfree, that looks like a lovely example.
I well remember the "FJ Days",...twin strombergs (maybe triple SUs?), extractors, wade 113 cam, lowered, 13" wheels etc etc,.....those were the days!

That is a very nice FJ-215 (standard) sedan,I owned several early Holdens,48-215 (FX's) and 3 FJ's but they were all "Special's" FJ-225s my last one was a 56 model,button trim vinyl upholstery, dark blue over light blue, and a 55 with pleated leather trim which was 2 tone green dark over light,then I graduated to FE's and FC's had a EK for a bit and in 82 the wife and I moved to Qld in our EJ wagon towing a 6x4 trailer with all our kit complete with 2 cattle dogs and 9yr old daughter that,was a Looong trip!
only intended to stay up here for 6 months, still here 33 years later very happy in our little bit of rural paradise last Holden was a VC auto wagon, it went when we got our 1985 RRC which was followed by the 300TDI D1.

cheers
