Why are these classics so popular? The EH Holden is a car which touches a soft spot in the hearts of most Australians. There are many reasons for this and some of them include; Their grandfather owned one, and always kept it shiny in the garage. Maybe it had been their first car, or their first kiss was on that vinyl bench seat. For some their parents took them everywhere, and on holidays in it creating many fond memories. They had one as a work vehicle that did about a million miles, or they just liked the look of them and enjoyed their popularity. So overall the EJ/ EH was never the fastest car of its time, nor was it the best handling. But it did offer universal appeal as it was cheap, practical, relatively quick, economical, easy to work on and ideal for modification. Forty years down the track, and its familiar good looks and high status have ensured its enduring popularity.   Prices and Valuations Never bought a classic before? Have a look at the buying guide Back to Top   Modifications A modified EH or EJ yet retaining a portion of its originality is a sensible every day driver's choice. Disc brakes are a worthwhile addition, often fitted with wider alloy or chrome wheels, and modern tyres. The original motors are usually changed over for a slightly larger 186ci or 202ci engine, as the original motor stocks dry up. A larger carburettor, extractors are another choice that many go for. A lot of people swap the Hyramatic autos for later Trimatic's, and the original three speed's are usually swapped for a Holden four speed or a Toyota four or five speed. EH's still remain a popular choice for restorers, as good sound cars are still available for under $4000. Body, mechanical and trim parts are quite available, but Premiers are more costly due to the leather retrim they usually need. EJ's have gained in popularity in recent years and have been steadily increasing in value closer to the EH. For more info regarding modifications go to Garage Tech.
